What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
For electrical work, or any other trades, realize that the greater cost of hiring a professional isn't just because we're proud.
As contractors, we are required to prove that we meet a required level of knowledge on our trade through written tests, and to then prove we are continuing our education continually to stay up to date with current codes and any changes.
To even sit for a licensing exam, we must prove multiple years of experience to be licensed.
Additionally, just being licensed isn't enough to work in a trade on your own (in some localities). We must also prove we are insured and bonded, that way if we damage your home we are legally liable for damages resulting from our work.
Handymen are typically not any of these!! They then lack the incentive licensed professionals have to perform satisfactory work. Even if something goes wrong as a result from any work they did, they aren't liable, nor can you threaten them with having their license revoked since they have none.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Before questioning price, or going to the lowest bidder, remember a few things;
-You're not only paying for the service/product, you're paying for their time, tools, gas, years of experience, licensing fees, contractor's bond, insurance, parts, and THEN the product.
I'd rather be known as a quality electrical contractor at fair market prices than a discount handy-man Dan, and I'm sure most other contractors/tradesman would be too.
