Have you heard the one about the friend who wanted a plumbing leak fixed and ended up with a whole new kitchen with a price tag ten times over budget for work that needed to be redone properly when a qualified contractor came in later? Greg Escott from ContractorQuotes.ca has, and in a partnership with his brother Steve, they aim to make hiring a contractor in Canada a more transparent and accountable process.
"There are so many fly by night contractors, and contractors who change company names to hide from bad reputations and angry homeowners that your odds of choosing a competent contractor for the job would make a casino in Vegas blush." says Greg Escott from ContractorQuotes.ca
Homeowners who use ContractorQuotes.ca will find that the free service will put them in touch with qualified local contractors who are customer reviewed, taking much of the guesswork out of finding a quality contractor for your job.
The best part is that contractors will contact you, for free. Homeowners can also choose ContractorQuotes.ca 7 Star certified contractors with confidence knowing that appropriate background and licence checks have been done to make sure that homeowners are properly protected from fraudulent people claiming to be a contractor.
Included in the ContractorQuotes.ca network are articles on how to choose a contractor and properly set up a contract, something that many homeowners fail to do or even notice until it is too late and money has been spent without a guarantee or sometimes even a receipt for the work done and materials purchased.
"It is incredibly common to hear people tell me about spending thousands of dollars on promises that never materialized without any recourse for getting the money back that was essentially stolen by a shady contractor because the person did not have a simple contract in writing." says Greg.
Greg and Steve Escott from ContractorQuotes.ca are two brothers with a plan, and that is to help homeowners make informed decisions about not only hiring a contractor, but hiring the right contractor.
"We offer this service to homeowners for free because many of them have been ripped off so many times over the years, sometimes without even knowing it, and we want to make the process easier for homeowners who don't necessarily have the time to research a contractor's background. Users can also read customer reviews, which are probably still the number one way to gauge whether or not the contractor is right for you."
Greg and Steve have built a free resource for homeowners in Canada to take advantage of and it is their number one goal to see homeowners choosing the right contractor the first time to avoid scams, poor work, and unnecessary expenses during a time when people are trying to save as much money as possible.
Before hiring just any random contractor from a road sign or print advertisement, visit ContractorQuotes.ca and use the free service so that you don't become another homeowner horror story.
