Methods To Finding A Good Electrical Contractor

By Betty Miller


If a home improvement project continues to be moved down on your list of priorities, is it because you don't have time to do the project or that you're feeling too tired after working all week? Then it's time to hire an electrical repair and maintenance contractor to take the burden off of you. These tips will help you to know what to look for in a good contractor.

There are many illegal electrical repair and maintenance contractors out there without licenses and doing unlawful work. Be careful of contractors who come knocking at your door selling their services, giving huge discounts, trying to use leftover material etc. These are dishonest people and you should keep away from them.

Prefer electrical repair and maintenance contractors who have their physical office. Electrical Contractors who are not well established try to cut down their cost by not preferring a physical office. This may indicate that they are not doing well enough to handle your project.

To avoid being held liable for any accidents on the work site it is important to verify your electrical repair and maintenance contractor's coverage. Make sure they not only have the right insurance but coverage adequate enough to cover any potential claims.

Random and unexpected visits to the site will force the electrical repair and maintenance contractor to always work with utmost professionalism and friendliness. Contact the referees that the contractor offers and enquire on the meaningfulness of the contractor's work to them. There should be an agreement between you and the contractor stating scheduling of activities and elaborating expenses for labor and utilities that will be incurred during the project implementation project.

Determine how long your electrical repair and maintenance contractor has been operating for and find out if there are any customer testimonies to measure satisfaction. Ask families and friends to see if they can recommend anyone. Once you find a contractor find out if they are licensed and bonded.

Make sure to stay involved in the entire project process. It is not advisable to let the electrical repair and maintenance contractor make all decisions without your input. You need to help manage each phase and make sure the contractor understands your goals for each step of the project.

Always know the expected dates for completion on your project and have it in writing. Your electrical repair and maintenance contractor should be able to tell you how they will handle any delays.

Find out before work starts what kind of contracts the electrical repair and maintenance contractor offers. This way, you are protected if he does poor work or there are troubles after the work is complete. Confirm this guarantee of quality is covered in the written contract.

To help ensure you have input at every level, ask your electrical repair and maintenance contractor for catalogs from their suppliers and distributors so you can select the materials being used on your project.
