What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
All Building Contractors are not alike. If they were it would be easy. Don't be fooled by the lowest price , Remember that poor quality remains long after the low price is forgotten. When choosing a builder consider them a partner in your financial investment. Start with a professional builder that has a good reputation with a minimum 10 years experience. This experience is vital to over come the many variables encountered during the building process . Visit the builders development and inspect the quality of the Materials and Workmanship. Ask questions and know what you are getting.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Know what they want.
