How Do You Know It's Really Fixed?

When you call a contractor or other trade professional to your home to repair something, how do you know if the repair is really fixed?

First of all, if it is really fixed, then the problem should have gone away. The symptoms should disappear. If you continue to have the same problem then it is not fixed and you will have to call the contractor to return to your home to work on your problem again. Sometimes the contractor shows up and really does repair your problem and unfortunately sometimes you are unable to get in touch with the contractor.

First of all, when you have a problem you need to make a good choice before you call someone to make a repair for you. Ask the contractor for references, Call the references. Any good contractor has a past service record and should have satisfied customers. One of the best ways to get a good contractor is to use someone who has done work for someone you know.

Do your homework upfront before you call.
