5 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR
LANDSCAPING CONTRACTOR
With so many choices available, choosing the right contractor can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed. Should you choose not to go with Above & Beyond Landscaping, we would still like to ensure you hire the right contractor for your job. Below you will find five important characteristics your landscaping contractor should possess.
1. FIRST IMPRESSION
Image is everything. When your landscape contractor arrives for the first time your gut feelings are hardly ever wrong, this is why first impressions are so important. Uniformed staff, identifiable company vehicles, and a presentable image say more about the company than many of us realize. A contractor who displays minimal pride in their image, is more than likely going to display that same pride in the work they do for you.
2. EXPERIENCE
Is the contractor knowledgeable about the work you want done? Usually, a brief conversation is all it takes to determine the level of experience an individual has. Ask questions like, how, why, and what. Does your contractor know about current and trending products? Colours and textures that harmonize with your home and personal preferences? An excellent contractor should leave you with clarity rather than confusion.
3. PORTFOLIO
Talk is cheap. Any contractor can make claims of amazing work performed on past jobs. A true professional would rather show you their work firsthand as opposed to just talking about it. Can the contractor provide you with references to similar work you are looking to have done? Furthermore, any contractor who has done exceptional work, should be more than eager to show it off.
4. EQUIPMENT
A contractor’s equipment is a reflection of the work they perform. New equipment is reliable and performs more efficiently than that which is old and poorly maintained. If the equipment being used on the customer’s job site is substandard, chances are the integrity of the work is going to be less than desirable. A business which makes money yet fails to reinvest in their equipment, speaks volumes on the pride they take in the workmanship that’s being carried out. Simply put: poor equipment = poor workmanship.
5. COST
Quality work shouldn’t have to cost a fortune. In the landscaping industry, there is no shortage of contractors willing to take on your job. Therefore, it is essential to hire a contractor who can diversify your options and accommodate your budget. Be cautious before handing over any money. A contractor who is confident in their work and has available resources will never request a deposit before starting the job. At Above & Beyond, we never expect payment unless the job is 100% complete and the customer is 100% satisfied.
