Notice Advertising.
Unbelievable discounts are just that…UNBELIEVABLE! Read the
small print. You may get a discount on the material, but then
find yourself paying an inflated price for labor and other necessary
items. Without profits, a business cannot continue to operate…a
reputable contractor deserves a reasonable profit…without
it, he cannot remain reputable.
Check References.
Call the Better Business Bureau to determine if other consumers
have had bad experiences with the contractor. Ask for references
to other customers and check them out by personally visiting the
installations.
Make Sure
Your Contractor Is Insured and Licensed. Ask to see a copy of
his insurance coverage. A reputable dealer will have an insurance
certificate and will be happy to provide a copy. The contractor's
workman's compensation and liability protect you if one of his
employees is injured on your property.
Your Contract
Should Be In Writing. A reputable fence contractor will use a
printed estimate form which gives the details of the contract
and will specify on that estimate form the materials he intends
to use. The contract is to protect not only you, the consumer,
but the contractor as well.
Know Your
Rights and Obligations. Ask questions! Who clears the property
line for the fence installation? Who cleans up afterwards?
