Are you looking for a contractor to do some work? Maybe you have experience with this kind of job or maybe you don’t? Either way we have a few tips to ensure you end up with a high-quality job without the hassle.
Ensuring your contractor has the correct licences and qualifications is the first place to start. Australian standards are something you look upon with high regards in this day and age. You want your job to go off without a hitch and by a professional who can abide by these. Ensure the tradesmen have the correct licences to operate their machinery. Most importantly make sure they have a trades qualification for the job they are about to perform.
Experience is the next most important thing to look for. Here at WDIS.WA our staff have a combined 40 years of experience in the sheet metal industry. Our guys know exactly how to handle most situations as they have been there and done that. Check their websites, Facebook or other social media accounts and see other work that the contractor has performed. This will help you gauge if they are the right people for your job.
Overall the most important thing you can do is ensure your tradesman has insurances. Any work they do on your property or workplace without it could mean big trouble. If they damage your property, do a bad job or someone gets hurt then you don’t want to find out after the fact that they have no insurances.
It is a good idea to ask if you can see a referral (Facebook ratings or clients) or previous jobs that may put your mind at ease. If you have any problems after that, then they might not be what you are after. I would suggest it is a good idea to go with your gut and look around. You are better off being safe than sorry.
Lastly, the best idea when finding a contractor is to shop around for a quote. I would suggest 3 at minimum so you can ensure you are choosing the right people, getting the best value and you can have more than one option.
