Oiling your cedar shingles may look like a simple job,
but it's actually complicated and dangerous. It involves risky processes such
as chemical washing and oil application. Thus, it's best to entrust this work
to a team of professional and experienced maintenance provider.
But in an age when businesses use internet marketing
to portray themselves like world-class experts, how can you determine the real
ones from unqualified individuals? Follow these tips.
Get to know their team
It's not enough that you know what their services are
how much they cost. Before choosing a company, you must know who these people
are. You don't want to risk the security and privacy of your home to any
company without ensuring that they have the qualified and trained maintenance
specialists for oiling cedar shingles.
Review their portfolio
So they claim to be the best in this field of
expertise. But what proof do they have to support this claim? Aside from considering
the credentials of their team, you must also look at their portfolio. Photos of
their previous performance will show the quality of their work.
Read client reviews
The review of their previous clients will tell you if
the provider's work is rated satisfactory. Aside from this, client testimonies
may also include feedback on the contractor's ethics and professionalism. If
you are someone who cares about customer service, then this is another step
that you must not miss. Do take their feedback with a grain of salt, of course.
Look for a provider
that offers obligation free assessment
To get the whole picture of the provider's maintenance
program, how much it will cost you, and the terms of the trade, you need your
home to be assessed. Look for contractors that provide obligation free
assessment. Their team will go to your home, do some inspection, and even
provide a quotation, without asking for a payment or obliging you to choose
them.
