As the founder of Boak & Sons, I’ve dedicated my career to providing top-notch roofing, siding, and insulation services for both commercial and residential properties. With decades of experience under our belts, we’ve witnessed the industry evolve. However, one concerning trend has emerged: the proliferation of low-cost, inexperienced contractors.
The Pitfalls of Choosing Inexperienced Contractors
In the pursuit of saving upfront costs, many customers are turning to smaller contractors who offer significantly lower bids. While this may appear attractive initially, the reality is that these contractors often lack the experience and qualifications necessary to deliver quality workmanship. As a result, we’ve seen a surge in calls from homeowners and businesses facing the repercussions of subpar installations.
The Hidden Costs of Cutting Corners
At Boak & Sons, our team of seasoned professionals is frequently called upon to repair or even completely replace work done by these less experienced contractors. It’s disheartening to witness customers grappling with stress and additional expenses due to avoidable mistakes. The initial savings quickly evaporate when you factor in the cost of repairs, not to mention the time and inconvenience involved.
Our Commitment to Excellence
We firmly believe that quality should never be compromised. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every project we undertake is completed to the highest standards. By choosing Boak & Sons, you’re investing in peace of mind, knowing that your property is in the hands of experts who stand behind their work.
The Long-Term Perspective
Remember, the cheapest option isn’t always the most cost-effective in the long run. We urge you to consider the long-term value and safety of your property. Trust experienced contractors like Boak & Sons, where quality workmanship is guaranteed.
How to Safeguard Your Investment
1. Check Qualifications: Before hiring any contractor, verify their qualifications. Ensure they hold valid trade licenses that meet local or state regulations. Licensed contractors typically undergo specific training, pass competency tests, and carry insurance policies.
2. Verify Insurance: Always ask for proof of insurance, such as a certificate. Contact the insurance provider to confirm that the policy is up-to-date and covers your project. An insured contractor protects your property during the job.
3. Bonded Contractors: Bonded contractors have private bonds issued by insurers or licensing municipalities. If the contractor fails to meet specifications, you can seek reimbursement from the bond issuer.
Our Promise
For those who have experienced the pitfalls of low-quality installations, we’re here to help. Boak & Sons is ready to restore your property to its rightful condition, ensuring durability and satisfaction for years to come.
Thank you for choosing quality!
