Foundation problems can be a real nightmare to deal with, not only in terms of the potential costs they incur but also in the damages a warped foundation can cause inside the home. No matter if the issue was caused by issues with irrigation, or something as significant as a sinkhole, home damage restoration in Tallahassee should be handled by a professional. Choosing the right one can be a real challenge, especially if you’ve never needed to hire a contractor before. The following tips can help you pick the company that is best for you.
Licensing/Bonding
When looking for a company to handle restoration and repairs cause by faulty foundation or sinkholes, be sure that they are fully licensed and bonded in the state of Florida. Proof of their qualification to legally work within the state as a contractor is very important and should be one of the first things they present to you. If a company is ever deflective about questions regarding their licensing, you should look elsewhere. The same can be said for their bonding, or insurance to cover any accidental damages that could happen as the result of construction.
Reputation
The next and equally important aspect to consider is the company’s reputation. Checking online review sites is one place to start. The BBB (Better Business Bureau), Angie’s List, Yelp, and Google are all examples of places to search for a business and get a sense of their reputation and rating. Another way is to ask friends and family if they know anything about a particular company, or if they can make a suggestion. Always be sure to carefully skim through both positive and negative reviews to get a better idea of their potential pros and cons.
Evidence
Aside from customer testimonials, visual proof of the work they’ve done with before, after and even while pictures is a great demonstration of a company’s pride in their work and proof of what they can do. You can also get a sense of their reputation among their peers depending on recommendations. Most companies that do the repairs for the foundation are likely to advise you on which company to go with for the restoration work. Keep in mind the company they recommend is one they trust with their own reputation. For a link to a reputable foundation repair company with restoration advisers, click here.
