Siding and gutter installation projects are not for DIY. It may be tempting to just look for a quick tutorial online, but to do these tasks correctly, you must have the skills and expertise of a professional siding installer. That said, hiring a trusted local siding contractor is the best option.
In this post, Patriot Gutters LLC shares three reasons you should hire a local siding contractor.
1. Familiarity With the Area
A local siding company has a better understanding of local weather patterns and the general landscape in your area. This means they are knowledgeable about the best siding materials to use for your home. Also, a local contractor can ensure your project meets local building codes.
2. Proximity
When consultations are conducted over the phone or via email, it is easy to miscommunicate or misinterpret ideas. Face-to-face meetings with your contractor are still necessary as these will help you properly explain your project’s objectives and requirements. This makes it ideal to work with a local contractor who can inspect your home and meet you quickly for consultation. Because of the distance, an out-of-town contractor will most likely decline a house inspection.
Furthermore, having your contractor nearby will be helpful when dealing with storm damage. The longer your siding contractor takes to attend to siding and gutter repairs, the more likely it is that storm damage will affect other parts of your home. Given the time constraints, hiring local contractors is the most sensible choice. Their local office allows them to perform emergency siding repairs to mitigate storm damage.
3. Local References
Siding contractors based outside of your area or state may have several positive online reviews praising their services and workmanship. But you can’t talk to previous clients or see the contractor’s work in person. A local contractor, on the other hand, will be able to provide you with references in your neighborhood or area. This allows you to look over their prior work and possibly speak with some of their previous clients.
