The High Cost of Low Bids: Why Price Shouldn’t Be Your Only Factor

The High Cost of Low Bids: Why Price Shouldn’t Be Your Only Factor

 

Home renovations are rarely cheap, so shopping for the best price is typically what homeowners do. However, one of the worst things a homeowner can do is choose a contractor based on the lowest price alone. Many roofing contractors in CT will beat the price of more reputable contractors, but their workmanship and chosen materials are subpar. Chances are if you hire a contractor based on the cheapest price upfront, you could end up paying more in the long run to fix issues. Here are some reasons why price shouldn’t be your only factor when choosing a home renovation contractor.

 

What To Look For In A Roofing Contractor

 

When you’re searching for roofing contractors in CT, consider the materials they use, any workmanship warranties, referrals, and more. General handymen might be able to repair or replace a roof, but can you rely on their quality? You should look for a roofing contractor with years of experience and a positive reputation in your area. They should be transparent about the quality of the roofing shingles and other materials used and should offer both material and workmanship warranties.

 

Siding Contractors Should Have Plenty Of Experience

 

The siding contractors you work with should have experience working with the materials you choose. And as a bonus, they can provide you with recommendations based on your location and desires. Some siding contractors offer low prices to get the job, but you might not see the effects of their subpar work for months or years later. Your home siding is the first line of defense to protect your home, so you should never sacrifice quality to save money.

 

Why The Best Home Renovation Contractors Usually Aren’t The Cheapest

 

The best home renovation contractors should use quality materials without breaking the bank. They likely won’t be the cheapest contractor available, but you can have peace of mind knowing the job will be done correctly the first time. Too many homeowners make the mistake of using the cheapest contractor for their bathroom renovation and then discover mold development, peeling paint, and other issues weeks later. This is due to subpar materials and poor workmanship, which could have been avoided by working with a quality contractor.

 

When you work with the contractors at Fiderio & Sons, you can have peace of mind knowing you’re getting quality workmanship with quality materials. With more than 39 years of experience in the home renovation industry, we know what works and what doesn’t. Don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule a consultation and we will be as transparent as possible with you about the materials, cost, and anything in between.
