By Betty Miller


When you are in need of an attic insulation service contractor there are certain qualities that you need to keep in mind. Otherwise, what should be an exciting situation could easily become a disaster and one that you regret. To help you know what to look for in a contractor we put together the following handy tips.

The quality of a project depends heavily on the quality of the attic insulation service contractor. Do your diligence and find a contractor who will be the best fit for the job. This will help you complete the job with minimal headaches on your end.

Hiring an attic insulation service contractor who has your best interests at heart is very important. If your project is intended to raise the value of the property and increase equity, be sure the contractor is aware of the importance of equity during the interview process. Be clear about your requirements and priorities and be sure they will uphold these priorities.

It is always good to be pro-active. Show your agreement to prospective attic insulation service contractors in initial consultations. It will help you in comparing bids for same agreement and if your contractor asks for his own agreement then ask him to show it along with yours.

A general state law entails including a warranty clause in a contract which is normally for a year. Beware of an attic insulation service contractor who charges additionally for a warranty provision. It is supposed to be a part of the contract and cannot be charged separately. You will need to do some checking on the laws prevalent in your area.

Get a full list of references from a potential attic insulation service contractor and contact each one of them. Ask them what their honest assessment of the contractor's character, work ethic and professionalism is. References will usually be happy to tell you about any good - or bad - experiences they've had with a particular contractor.

Get professional and financial references for the attic insulation service contractors you're thinking of hiring. Call or e-mail them and ask about the work the contractor performed for them. But be aware that some contractors provide false references to friends who are coached to say good things about them - so double check every contractor with trade associations and thorough online research.

Lunch meetings are not ideal for interviewing attic insulation service contractors. In crowded restaurants, you may not have a chance to ask all of the questions you need to ask. You might also find the environment distracting. Always seek to meet at a quiet location free of distractions where you can conduct a thorough, proper interview.

Ask for various references from your family, friends for an attic insulation service contractor. Word of mouth and testimonials can be essential in finding a reliable contractor. Contact the numbers on the contractor's cards to be sure that the contact details are genuine.

Any work that is to be done requires a work permit which has a lengthy process to obtain and therefore the need to obtain assistance from your attic insulation service contractor. In case the contractor is not willing to help in getting the work permit, always get another contractor who is ready to co-operate with you. This ensures that delays in carrying out the job are avoided.
