7 Tips For Hiring Insulation Contractors
UncategorizedFoam Expert Group homeowners decide to invest in a home insulation upgrade, they should take steps to ensure that the job is done properly and the results are long lasting. For this reason, it’s important to vet contractors to ensure they are qualified and professional. Here are seven key tips for hiring the right insulation contractor.
1. Get multiple quotes before choosing a contractor.
While homeowners may be tempted to go with the first contractor that offers an affordable quote, this can backfire. Homeowners should consult with several contractors to evaluate their professionalism, timeliness and communication style before making a final decision. This step will help ensure the insulation project is completed on time, within budget and with quality materials.
2. Ask about their insurance and warranty.
It’s important to hire a contractor with both general liability and a lifetime workmanship warranty. This will ensure that if anything goes wrong with the insulation installation (such as damage or gaps) the company will cover the cost.
3. Inquire about their experience with the type of insulation they are recommending.
Insulation is a highly technical product and requires extensive training to understand how each type of insulation works and where it performs best. A good insulation contractor will be able to explain the different products available and why they are specifically using the product they are recommending for your project.
4. Look for a contractor that provides ongoing quality control and management.
Gaps, loose insulation and improperly fitted insulation are some of the most common issues that lead to performance problems with an insulation system. A reputable insulation contractor will regularly check for these problems during construction and provide a document with photos and detailed descriptions to the general contractor or mechanical contractor along with an estimate of costs to repair.
