When you are looking to hire a specialist to install siding on your home, it is recommended that you ask the installers for references or clients who have worked with the company. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of what information they should be trying to learn from a company's past clients.

Here are four questions that you will want to ask when you are speaking to a siding installers' references. 

Was Your Siding Job Completed On Time? 

One of the first questions that you should ask is whether the siding job was completed on time. It is important to note that weather may delay siding projects, and that is no fault of the installer. However, be wary if the homeowner says that there were delays because materials did not arrive on time or due to a lack of employees. This may indicate issues with their supply chain or that they may be overbooking jobs. 

Was the Siding Job Completed On Budget? 

Another important question to ask is whether the siding job was completed on budget. A great contractor will be able to provide you with a fairly accurate estimate for your siding work. If they are underestimating their work, you should be hesitant about working with the company. 

Did You Encounter Any Issues During or After the Installation Process? 

Always ask if the previous client encountered any issues during the installation process or after the installation was completed. Were employees on time or were they late? Did the work hold up or have the installers needed to come back to fix issues? You want to go with a company that is not problematic, so search for a company whose clients state that they did not encounter issues or problems. 

Would You Recommend Them to Your Family or Use Them Again? 

Lastly, ask the past customer if they would recommend the company to their family or friends, or if they would personally use them again. Their answer may tell you a lot about their overall opinion about the company. 

When you are in need of siding work on your home, it is important that you carefully vet the company you are considering using. Talking to people who have worked with the installers in the past can give you insight into what it would be like to work with the company. Knowing what questions to ask can help you make an educated and informed decision on whether these are siding installers that you want to work with on your home.
