Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Absolutely check the contractor's references and check to make sure they are licensed. There are many people around these days selling themselves at an ultra low cost. The problem is, most are unlicensed and end up doing more harm than good.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Not all Hardwood Installers and Refinishers are created equal. If you are looking for a rock bottom price, chances are you are going to receive a substandard floor. In this business, quality products cost money and quality craftsmanship takes time. You truly do get what you pay for. For instance: if you are looking to refinish the hardwood floors in you rental unit and merely want them quickly sanded and cleaned up, that is one thing. However, If you are looking to get the floors refinished in your home and want quality work, unfortunately much more time will be needed to create the floor you deserve and the costs are typically more.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. First and foremost you should always ask to see the contractors license and bond for your piece of mind as a consumer. If something were to go horribly wrong and something happened to your house because of the contractor, this would protect you. Too many unlicensed contractors are being hired and degrading numerous trades. Also ask for pictures and references; any contractor who does great work will be proud and eager to show his other work and satisfied customers to anyone.
