Most bad experiences with a concrete contractor start before the job does. These are the three concrete contractor mistakes we see homeowners make most often.
1. Not checking that the contractor is insured
Ask for proof of general liability insurance. If something goes wrong with your project, that insurance is what protects you, including if you ever need to take a contractor to court.
2. Not looking at their work or talking to past clients
Ask to see finished jobs and speak with former customers. At Texas Premier Coat, we usually give you references to drive by and, when possible, people you can call. We try to pick examples close to your home and similar to the job you want done, so you can see the work in person.
3. Not asking about the process
Many homeowners are not ready for a crew at their home because they did not ask enough questions up front. Before you hire anyone, ask:
- Will the work be noisy, and will it disturb my neighbors?
- How will you dispose of the old surface, and who pays to haul it away?
- Who exactly will be working on my job?
- Will you be on site, and how often?
On our jobs, the crew has been doing this work for over 15 years. They are good with people, they understand what you want and they can meet your expectations without constant supervision.
