Does this porch contractor question sound familiar?
I'm thinking about converting my patio into a covered porch, but I’m not sure how to choose the right porch contractor. What should I look for to ensure the contractor is reputable, does quality work, and won’t leave me with problems down the road?
When choosing a porch contractor, there are specific questions you can ask and industry certifications you should look for.
You will want to ask any contractor for proof of required license and insurance. Anyone who cannot provide this should not be considered for your patio conversion project. You can also ask contractors for real-life client references and seek out online reviews to get a true idea about what it’s like to work with them and determine the quality of their work. Be sure to visit the contractor’s BBB profile to confirm their accreditation status and determine if there have been claims made against them. And lastly, it’s important to know if a contractor guarantees their work through written warranties, including craftsmanship, structural elements, and if your chosen building materials will come with warranties. Choosing the right contractor for your patio to porch conversion project will ensure that your project is legally permitted, built to standards, and quality-constructed to last.
