We believe it is important for consumers to follow these guidelines:

Check the company’s background with the appropriate agencies
(i.e., various licensing bureaus, BBB, State of Florida Department of Professional Regulations).

If possible check out any company prior to them coming to your home for an estimate.

Does the company have all the proper required up-to-date insurance coverage?

What type of warranty does the company provide for the materials and labor? Be sure to get it in writing.

Is the company doing business out of a legitimate place of business? (Not their house, garage or a PO Box)? If there is an issue or problem, do you have access to that company's place of business to voice or discuss such issues?

Will company pull all the required building permits? This assures you that all work is being done to code.

Don’t be fooled by big fancy advertising; big ads DO NOT necessarily mean that the company is a large and credible business entity.

Does the company have a list of references that they can provide?

Do you feel comfortable with the representative and the company?

Avoid cash discounts, never ever pay cash.

Do not give more than 50% deposit.

Do not make a decision to contract with a company because they are the lowest bidder. Very often the lowest price means that you are not getting equal goods for equal value, something may be left out or shortcuts are being taken.

It is important to select a reputable company and a quality product.
