Here’s where we suggest you start when looking for the perfect general contracting company to fit your needs. 

  1. VET EM- Go ahead and vet them and/or their company’s reputation. We suggest never skipping these steps, as verifying these things protects you from substandard work and liability. Call the former clients provided to you and see what they have to say about having worked with the general contracting company that you’re considering hiring. We recommend having a list ready to go with any questions you may want to ask them, or concerns you may have. Take advantage of having real life people that you can speak with and get a feel for the company and professionals that you’re considering working with. 
    • Licensing- Verify that the contractor you’re looking to hire holds a valid license for your city and state, and also for the specific work you need to have done. ( This is where I assure you all of our licensing is current and in good standing, as well as permits obtained always when necessary ofc. )
    • Insurance and Bonding- Feel free to request a physical certificate of insurance from their insurance provider. ( And I’ll add here, we show our proof of insurance more than we show our Drivers Licenses and yes, you know I still get carded. It’s seriously not a problem, and noone should mind.doing so. ) They must have general liability and workers’ compensation to protect you against property damage or on-site injuries during the lifespan of your project. 
    • Verify on Better Business Bureau- Look up their standing and check for unresolved complaints. ( Here’s our link <a href=”https://www.bbb.org/nebraska/customer-reviews/general-contractor/fortified-roofing-co-llc-in-overland-park-ks-1000082491/add/” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”><img src=”https://seal-nebraska.bbb.org/customer-reviews/badge-7-bbb-1000082491.png” style=”border: 0;” alt=”Fortified Roofing Co. LLC BBB Business Review” /></a>
  1. CHECK REFERENCES AND PAST WORK- According to a recent poll ran via Reddit, word-of-mouth recommendations ( we lovingly reference them as referrals ) are found to be the most reliable source.
    • Talk to references- Again, ask for a list of references and then contact those individuals and ask them the important questions you have. Ask them about the contractors reliability, communication, adherence to timelines, or how they handled any arising or unforeseen issues or concerns.

 

  1. Review Bids and Pricing Strategy- Do not simply select the lowest bid. Unrealistic low bids often result in shoddy work or frequent “change orders” (unforeseen extra costs, basically it’s those we see on the 5:00 news…)
    • Detailed Estimates: Request itemized proposals. A good Roofing Contractor Overland Park KS contractor will detail the cost of materials, labor, and profit margins, making it easy to compare bids.( We provide these standard, complementary of your roof inspection. )
    • Payment Schedule: A reputable contractor will not ask for the full payment upfront. Expect a deposit, and this will vary from contractor to contractor, company to company. 
    • Financing Options- Financing offers a great alternative when expenses exceed budget, or perhaps you simply wish to have the upfront cost associated with the home upgrades you just can’t wait to make. Ask your contracting company if this is something they offer and what options they have for you. 
  1. HIRE LOCAL WHENEVER POSSIBLE-  Local contractors are easier to contact if problems develop with the work in the future, and they are more likely to be familiar with building codes in your area. Ask the contractor for their local, physical address. ( We consider “local” to be the surrounding Johnson County, Kansas City, Ks, and Springfield Mo, metro areas as surrounding areas.) 

 

  1. GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING- Your Roofing Contractor Overland Park KS general contractor should provide you with a thorough paper contract before work begins. Get everything in writing, and make sure the contract is clear and well documented. The contract should include: 
    • A detailed description of the work to be completed and the price of each item.
    • A payment schedule – for example: one-third down, one-third when work is partially completed, and the balance due upon completion of repairs.
    • The estimated start date and completion date on larger projects.
    • Any applicable guarantees, which should be written into the contract and clearly state what is guaranteed, who is responsible for the guarantee, how long the guarantee is valid, and any provisions for liquidated damages in the event of nonperformance or delay.
    • Signatures from both parties. You should never sign a contract containing blank sections.

Changes to the contract should be acknowledged by all parties in writing. Ask your Roofing Contractor Overland Park KS contractor for confirmation that he or she has obtained all applicable building permits ( we are more than happy to share a copy of these with you). If you decide to cancel a signed contract, you should follow the contract’s cancellation clause. Written notification of the cancellation should be sent by registered mail to ensure you have proof of the cancellation.

  1. KEEP A PROJECT FILE- Keeping all emails, receipts, paperwork, insurance paperwork, etc related to your home project is highly recommended. 
    • Keep your contract and all the supporting documents in one folder. Your file should also contain any change orders, plans and specifications, bills and invoices, canceled checks, and certificates of insurance and any letters, notes or correspondence with the contractor.
    • If you have a mood board or photo visual of how you’re wanting your project results to look, this is a great place to keep an extra copy of that. Any paint color samples, ideas, or websites to order necessary items for your homes project. 
    • ( For peace of mind, know that your Fortified Roofing Co. LLC general contractor handling your project claim is also keeping a thorough, updated, and complete file with all your necessary documents related to your claim as well.)
