How Important is Price?
"There is hardly anything in the world that someone
can't make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who
consider price only are this man's lawful prey."
[John Ruskin 1819 - 1900]
Price? It is very important. Much of the work we do
could cost several thousands of dollars. This is why you want to make sure
that your hard earned money is being spent wisely. There are many reasons
why prices for what seems like the same work could vary. Some of them are:
Proposals not the same
Contractors are not including the same work. Make sure you get a complete
explanation of all the work being proposed. You will find that our proposals
are usually much more detailed than others you might get. Compare their
proposal to ours. Be wary of proposals that just say "Install new "X". When
in doubt, please call us. We will be happy to help you compare proposals.
Materials not the same
We attempt to find the materials that will perform the best, not
materials that are the cheapest. There are many materials available to us
that are cheaper but would not perform nearly as well.
Labor costs not the same
Again, we do not attempt to find the cheapest labor. We are proud of the
talent and skill of our installers. We do not have a high turnover because
our installers like to work for a company that likes to do good work. As a
result, many contractors could have much cheaper and less skilled and
dedicated employees.
Insurance
As you can imagine, the home improvement industry, as a whole, does not
have the best reputation. Insurance companies know that. It is a high-risk
profession for them and, as a result, insurance has become almost impossible
for contactors to obtain. Many contractors now do not have insurance to
protect you and your property. Due to our reputation, we protect you with
insurance for general liability and workers compensation. Please make
sure that any contactor you may be considering is insured and can provide
you with insurance certificates that looks like
this.
