Case Handyman and Remodeling of Charlotte offers a simple evaluation checklist for homeowners to use when hiring an unfamiliar contractor to work in their home for an extended period of time.
Brad Little, president of Case Handyman and Remodeling of Charlotte, believes homeowners in Charlotte should have peace of mind knowing that the person they hire to do their home improvement project is credible and trustworthy.
Case of Charlotte offers these important questions to consider when choosing a contractor:
- How long have they been in business?
- Do they have a Web site/business address, phone number and email address?
- Can they provide three references from clients in the past six months?
- Are they licensed and insured in North Carolina?
- Do they conduct criminal background checks on their employees?
- Do their contractors wear uniforms and have proper identification?
- Can they provide a banking and/or financial reference?
- Do they have a "before and after" picture portfolio?
- Are they familiar with local permits that may be required?
"At Case of Charlotte, all of our employees are drug tested and must go through an extensive criminal background investigation before they are hired," says Little. "They also must have at least ten years of experience in the industry, wear a Case uniform and adhere to the highest standards of professionalism."
After an extensive attic transformation by Case of Charlotte, Tim Pleasant spoke of his experience, "From day one, Case exemplified a high standard of professionalism that is so far beyond anyone I've ever seen in the industry. Showing up with logos on their cars and shirts, you always knew exactly who they were."
