Local Knowledge
How familiar is a basement solutions company with your region? How long have they been serving the region? Where are their basement professionals located? When searching for basement solutions companies, you want a team that can get to your property quickly and efficiently with some understanding of where you live and how specific services may impact you. Force Basements boasts years of experience serving the Peoria and Bloomington-Normal areas with high-quality basement solutions.
Inspections & Consultations
Can your basement solutions company provide inspections and consultations? Before you commit and agree to a given basement solution, ensure you’re hiring for the right service. Don’t just commit to a project over the phone or email — ask if their contractors can inspect the damage first. During the appointment, ensure the contractor knows what problems to look for, such as bowed walls, warped floors, and musty odors.
Pricing & Warranties
Is the contractor giving you a fair price? Comparing prices between companies can be challenging in the moment but shop around afterward to ensure the price is not exorbitant. Remember, no two jobs are the same — the price of one project can vary wildly from the last depending on the scale of the project and the materials used. During your appointment with the contractor, ask about warranties and understand what they cover.
Customer Comfort
Do you feel like the company has been transparent with you? Have they given you expectations you understand? Don’t feel pressured to commit to a company after a consultation — if the pricing, warranty information, or quality of their work makes you uncomfortable, keep looking.
