Contractor InformationLooking for quality Greater Lansing Contractors, Carpenters, or Builders? That can be tough in Michigan’s current economy. Let me explain. It’s no secret that large manufacturing companies are laying off or downsizing.
BEWARE OF WHO YOU HIRE! Due to the lay offs, many conversations around the kitchen table go something like this: “What are we going to do now Jane"? “Well John, you helped my brother roof his house that one time and you fixed the door on our shed and you like working around the house…………why don’t you put an ad in the paper as a roofer or a carpenter“? “Hey Jane, that’s a great idea. I can get business by offering a really low price. Yea that's what I’ll do”!
STICK WITH A PRO!
I feel for a guy that is out of work. I really do. But when an unqualified individual decides to enter skilled trades with no prior experience, this often results in nothing but trouble for the customer. What happens if John falls off the roof or drops his hammer on the hood of your brand new car? Is he insured? What about warranties? If he says “I will guarantee this roof won’t leak for 5 years“, and then it does, will he still be in business? Statistics say no. As a matter of fact, most of the people entering into business today will not be in business even 1 year from now, much less 5 years from now. Of course there is the most important question: does he know what he’s doing? Does the fact that John helped his brother roof a house make him a qualified roofer? Obviously the answer is no. Check out the resources on this page. The information here will help to ensure that you hire qualified individuals as well as clear up some misconceptions.
