by Apr 8,2016

Hiring a contractor to work on your home can be an uncertain “adventure.” The good news is that if you are aware of a few things, you can be confident that you are hiring someone whom you can trust with your property.

  1. The first question to ask a contractor is if they are insured. If a company is not insured, a customer may not be reimbursed for any accidental damage that may occur. As a customer you want to be confident that your items will be and are protected.
  2. Secondly, a good question to ask is if they have any prior experience working in a customer service related position. It is important to know if those you will be hiring are able to give you a quality customer experience. As a customer it is important to know that the communication process will be smooth and that the work will get done on time. In addition, in the rare instance you would be unsatisfied with your service, you want to be sure that the concern is resolved quickly and respectfully.

Online reviews shared by customers can be VERY helpful when considering whom to hire. According to studies by VPDM, “69% of all consumers will search the internet for online reviews of a product, service, hotel, restaurant, or attraction, before making a decision to purchase.”

I called clean and clear the DAY before we were having professional pictures taken for our architect. They came through the following morning and my windows never looked better!

We are very pleased with our Christmas lights installation. First, they are beautiful, just an outstanding look. I coordinated this with an office employee, she answered the phone, took my initial ideas, and sent me an email with a photo. After only one other exchange, we had things planned. Working with this lady was easy and quick. We were emailed the date our installer would be coming. He texted us right before coming over with his photo. He showed up right on time and started working without delay. Everything was done in a quality manner. My husband was delighted, and when I went out after it turned dark, I squealed. It’s so pretty. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, and double thank you to Billy and the office staff for the A+ attitude towards your clients and the finished product. This is what we all hope for from a company.
