- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
A great starting point is to ask your neighbors which professionals theyÃÂve used. Personally, this is where I would start my research. Ask them how often theyÃÂve used them and what they liked about them. This may take time and initiation, but it is well worth it! Check several consumer watchdogs such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Chamber of Commerce. Always verify workers compensation and liability insurance when you receive a quote. It takes very little effort for a company to provide proof of insurance. All they have to do is make a short phone call to have one sent to you. Did you know for most insured contractors, North Carolina requires insurance certification to be sent directly from the insurer as opposed to the contractor? This extra measure prevents fraud. Ask the professional for customer references who have had similar work performed to the job your are considering. Just because a professional is good at carpet cleaning, doesn't mean he is good at tile & grout cleaning also. If you choose to do comparison shopping, it should be based on reputation, reliability, experience, and price 'value'Â, not just the lowest price of all proposals presented. The lowest price can sometimes end up being the most expensive. Choose a well-known and reputable company who you'Âll be able to easily contact in the future for problems or other jobs. Check out the address of the professional and see how long they have been in the area.
