Whether you’re looking for some concrete for a DIY project, or need enough for a large-scale construction, it is important you pick the right concrete contractor for you. The cheapest option or the one with the best reviews does not automatically mean they’ll be the right person for your project.
Here are five tips for choosing a concrete contractor.
Research Thoroughly
Don’t just hire the first result that pops up when you google ‘concrete contractors near me’, take the time to do some research. Compare a few different results you find online or ask friends and family for referrals so you can build a list of potential contractors that you can compare and contrast.
Think Local
You’ll most likely be wanting your concrete delivered as soon as possible. So you should be looking for a contractor that is local. This way the concrete you order can be at your door quickly. If you can’t find a great local one, look for contractors that offer same or next-day delivery, so you can guarantee you have the concrete you want when you need it.
Check The Reviews
You should check reviews and ask for references before working with any contractor. You can see if they have any testimonials on their website, but also ensure to check other sources, as companies most likely won’t be displaying negative reviews prominently. You can also ask the company themselves for references, as this will let you know the types of projects they’ve worked on and if they have happy customers.
See If You Connect
It’s not essential to work with a contractor that you like, but it is probably beneficial. Having a good relationship with a contractor will ease the whole experience along and they can answer all the questions and queries you have in a friendly manner. If they seem hesitant to answer questions, are standoffish or do not provide good professional service, this is a sign to not work with them.
Look At Prices
Compare prices for a few different contractors. If prices are not on their website, you can typically ask for a free quote from them. You can then compare this information to see what one is best for you. Look for factors like free or discounted delivery, bulk discounts or any hidden fees. Remember that the cheapest option is probably not the best, so find a middle ground price that suits you.
