A home is many people’s most valuable asset, so when they start searching for a home improvement contractor, they look for someone they can trust. Help build trust by being prepared to answer questions about your business, the project and your experience.
Some of the most common questions you will run across are listed below. Think about how you want to answer each of these so that the next time the question is asked, you will be ready. However, if you ever find yourself faced with a different question and struggling to find an answer, just let your customer know you will look into it and get back to them soon.
Many questions your customers ask will be easy to answer.
- Do you have a contracting license?
- Do you have insurance?
- How long have you been in the business?
- Who do I reach out to if I have questions?
- What made you want to become a contractor?
- What is your cancellation policy?
- Do I pay up front or after the project is completed?
Some questions may take a bit of preparation to answer.
- Do you have any referrals?
- Can I speak with one of your past customers?
- What steps will you take to protect the property?
- How do you resolve disagreements?
- Where do you source your materials from?
