Sunroom Contractors - Narrowing Your Choices
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_Skelter]Robert Skelter
Sunrooms have become one of the most requested home improvements in recent years, so most building contractors are willing to take on sunroom projects. But you might be better off looking for someone who specializes in sunroom construction, because you want a sunroom contractor who knows the local building codes and what features your sunroom will need to make it comfortable in your climate.
Interviewing For A Sunroom Contractor
When you've decided to get started on your sunroom, the first thing you should do is prepare a list of questions so you can interview potential sunroom contractors. And go into each interview with your mind firmly made up that you won't succumb to any high-pressure sales tactics. If a potential sunroom contractor tries to persuade you that you'll get a better price by ordering your sunroom immediately, or that he has several other jobs lined up and can only squeeze you in if he can start right away, thank him for his time and look for someone else.
Ask the sunroom contractors how long their companies have been operating, and when they last experienced management changes. You can't really judge how new management will perform until they've established a track record, so try to find a sunroom contractor with a solid history.
You should also ask the sunroom contractors about any licenses, industry accreditations, r certifications they may hold. This will give you some idea of whether or not they are keeping current on what's going on in the sunroom construction industry.
You can feel free to ask any sunroom contractors for references from their previous customers, and you owe it to yourself to follow up on those references. There's no better way to find a good sunroom contractor that to talk to homeowners who are happy with their sunrooms.
You can also do a background check with your local Better Business Bureau and make sure your Sunroom contractor has not been the object of complaints.
But don't stop there. Ask them to provide you with the names of satisfied customers - and go and talk to those customers to make sure all went well with their project. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure that no one has made any complaints against them.
The final, and one of the most important questions, for any sunroom contractor is whether or not he will actually be doing your construction work, or assigning it to subcontractors. You should definitely choose a sunroom contractor who will handle the job himself.
