FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common types of jobs that I get are framing and drywall. Everyone is either wanting a remodel to update an older home, or they want an addition. Decks, sheds and porches are also a high demand job.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Always ask for references and always make sure the contractor, whether a company or a DBA, writes a contract. And always read the contract and make sure the total price for labor and materials is included along with a start date and expected finish date. Also make sure it includes a phone number and address of the contractor. This is the law in Illinois. And be sure the payment agreement is in the contract. And be sure to see proof of insurance.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I wish customers knew that every construction job has snags. Some are bigger than others. It may be from the weather or it might be from termites. Either way not every job goes as smooth as the customer likes. And not every job stays on budget. Sometimes hidden damage requires more work, time and money.
