What to Know Before Hiring Home Repair Professionals for Your Business

a man sitting at a desk in front of a windowAs a business owner, you need to keep your workplace safe and functioning smoothly for all your employees. That means conducting routine maintenance and sometimes making major repairs on your building. You want the best for your budget, so before hiring a home repair professional, examine their qualifications.

Look Into Their Experience

You can't judge a repair person's experience by the number of years the company has been in existence. A larger company may employ several workers with varying levels of experience. Make sure the individual coming to work for you has direct experience in the tasks you need to be completed.

The person you hire should have worked long enough to accumulate references. Ask for references and call them. Be prepared to discuss whether the workers met deadlines, stayed within budget, and delivered what they promised. You may also ask for photos of past work.

Test Their Knowledge

A responsible home repair professional will gladly answer any questions you might have. You want to make sure the person you hires has the knowledge and skills to carry out the job. They should be able to show their knowledge about their specialty.

Contractors should also be familiar with pertinent laws, regulations, and safety codes. For example, if hiring an electrician, ask them about safety measures they'll take. Electricians should be familiar with the safety standards in the National Electrical Code. When you're running a business, all infrastructure in your workplace needs to be up to code.

Ask About Licenses and Insurance

Reputable repair workers should hold the proper licenses or certifications. Your state will require licensing in each field the repair worker offers services in. Plumb, air conditioning technicians, and construction workers all need separate licenses. Some workers will have additional certifications. An HVAC technician may be certified in EPA, for example.

For your own protection, make sure the person you hire is insured and bonded. Liability insurance will cover any damage or accident that occurs as a result of the repairs. A bond ensures that your contractor will accept financial and legal responsibility if something goes seriously wrong.

Quality is paramount when considering repairs or renovation to your company's building or office. You can't take risks with your investment or with the safety of your workers. Do your due diligence in vetting any home repair business or contractor before signing on the dotted line.
