"We had heard word of mouth that Watkins home improvement was a great business to deal with so we asked for some estimates. They came out very fast, took measurments and discussed every aspect of what needed to be done. Not only that they explained in detail the right way to do it and why they would it that way. Truly made us comfortable in our decision to hire them. Unlike a lot of contractors they were litterally out here the next day to get the work done. They worked hard and fast. Even in this heat to get the job done. They did run into a problem. We had an entire side of the house the sill was rotted. They informed us and gave us a reasonable price to add that to the job. When they were done they lowered the quote due to not haveing to do as much as they estimated to level the house. They took a substantial amount off the bill. They could have easily not said anything and charged us full price. But they were honest and true to there word. I highly recommend them for any work."

"We bought our home in 2020. History showed it was flipped back in 2012. The roof was replaced with single layer shingles but not the decking. It was as old as the home which was originally built in 1976. March 2024 the roof started leaking in several spots and insurance said they wouldnâ t cover its replacement. I found Spakes through Nextdoor and they were reasonably priced plus financed replacement of our roof and decking. The guys came in and were done in one day. They were thorough and took great care in clearing the old roof and cleaning up any debris or trash. We have used his network for repairs to our HVAC and plan to use them for any future home improvements. We highly recommend them. Chase and his team are prompt and give a fair price. They donâ t sugarcoat anything and tell you the truth about whatâ s going on and what needs to be done."

In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
