Crucial Steps in Choosing a Contractor for James Hardie Siding in Minneapolis

James Hardie is the brand leader in siding worldwide.  Their fiber cement siding and trim products have been chosen by thousands of homeowners here in the Minneapolis area alone.

However, after making your decision for this high-quality siding brand, it’s time to make possibly the most important decision of your new siding installation task, choosing a contractor. The effectiveness, efficiency, quality, as well as communication of the siding task,  is determined by your contractor choice.

Vital Steps When Choosing a Contractor to Install James Hardie Siding

Valuable Research:  To begin, you want to know how long that siding company has been open for business. Typically, professionals and companies which are established have had years to build a strong reputation from previous customers, allowing them to receive numerous great testimonials.

Due to this, you’re able to check their reviews, ask around, and get a decent idea of their status from individuals who have used the company’s service. However, for newer contractors, we advise that you discuss their experience with them. Don’t be afraid to request a reference list of homeowners they have installed Hardie siding for.  Most companies have no problem providing you with needed information.

Meet Face to Face: Another helpful step in the decision-making process is sitting down for a meeting face to face. If you’re unable to do this, schedule a time to speak with them by phone. It is best when making a decision on hiring a contractor that the process works two ways. By offering the contractor a chance to discuss ideas for your project with you, listen to their input, and find out if they have work methods you want and your needs match, you’ll know quick if this is the best choice.

Face to face meetings allows the most accurate representation of how your siding task will be handled. Also, if desired, you can request a potential contractor to allow you on one of their current job sites.  Being able to observe them at work can give you an indication of how things would go if you were to hire them to install Hardie siding on your home.

Prepare Questions Prior to Consultation: To ensure all crucial questions you have are answered, compile them prior to your consultation. Some questions should include how many similar projects do they normally complete in a years’ time, how their time management looks, and what certifications will those completing the task have. Figure out their safety priorities, work method, project ethics, and their values. Also, ask for references.

Additionally, be sure to ask how they handle any difficulties they may come across. such as unexpected materials delay, undetected structural problems, weather, etc.
