Hiring a plumbing contractor can be confusing, frustrating and overwhelming for most people. Not all contractors are honest or reliable. And not all are licensed, insured and bonded to perform repairs which could put a homeowner, their family and/or property at risk if not done properly. Before hiring anyone, you should check out their company and credentials.
Be sure to avoid any contractors who use the following techniques to get into your home:
- Door-to-Door Solicitations: This isn’t always a bad thing because many legit companies do use this as a way to get customers. However, it is something to be cautious of because it’s a common tactic for the more shady of the bunch. It’s more common for these types of jobs to unravel at your expense. Once payment is made, you could be left with unfinished work and empty pockets.
- Free Inspection Scare Tactics: An unscrupulous contractor may offer to perform a free inspection for you and then return with an alarming report of leaky pipes or some other major issue that doesn’t actually exist. Be sure to verify any findings before you pay.
- Upfront Cash Payment: Never hire a contractor that insists on an upfront cash payment. You would be taking a huge and unnecessary risk.
- Verbal Agreements: Remember, if it isn’t in writing, it didn’t happen. Verbal promises are shady and offer no protection to you at all. Always get all agreements it in writing and signed! If the contractor refuses, find someone else who will.
Keep those tips in mind to help protect yourself and your family. It’s not difficult to find a reputable company that is fully licensed, insured, and has a great record of standing behind their work. Don’t put yourself at risk in order to save a few dollars.
