Factors to Consider Before Hiring a Siding Contractor

Hiring an experienced and skilled siding installer is as important as choosing durable and long-lasting siding materials. However, there are several companies offering siding solutions, making it challenging to find the best one for your project. 

Keep reading as we list the top considerations to make when hiring a siding contractor.

Proof of Licensing

A license certifies that a company has met specific qualifications in its industry. For siding contractors, licensing requirements differ per state. But regardless, reputable contractors should be able to show you up-to-date proof of their licensing and assure you that they know the ins and outs of their work.

Proof of Insurance

When choosing a siding contractor, make sure they offer complete coverage in case of damage or accidents. Ask your prospective siding installer if they carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you from legal issues and costs when something wrong happens during the project. 

Material and Labor Warranties

Usually, a trustworthy siding contractor uses products backed by manufacturer warranties. These ensure protection from having to pay repair or replacement costs for defective materials. You should also hire a contractor that offers labor warranties so you can be assured that they will take full responsibility if an issue arises due to poor installation.

Estimated Project Cost

Before your siding project starts, you should have a thorough understanding of what you will be paying for and why, so you can plan a realistic budget. Look for a contractor that is able to provide a detailed and clear estimate of the overall cost of the project. 

Payment Plan

A reputable siding company will never ask for full payment upfront. Instead, the company will provide you with a reasonable payment plan, depending on your needs. Make sure to have accurate documentation of the agreed financing plan.
