What Your Neighbors Think Matters

02 April 2010 Categories: Bathroom Remodeling

In Construction, especially in South Florida, one must be careful to pick a contractor who does good work, deals honestly with you, the homeowner, and has a reputation for completing the project in a timely manner.

In fact, REPUTATION is the keyword here. No matter how glitzy the website, no matter how big the advertisement in the yellow pages or newspaper, nothing the contractor cam tell you means as much as the words of your neighbors. Be sure to always ask for references, be sure to contact at least a few of those references. Ask the previous customers of the contractor what their experience was.

Would they use that company again?

Were they treated with respect?

Was the work satisfactory?

Did they feel like the company was honest?

Did they get a detailed breakdown of costs?

Were their questions answered?

Were the workmen trustworthy, as well as knowledgeable?

A major portion of our business is based on referrals, over half,  in fact. From large retirement communities, like Century Village and Cresthaven in West Palm Beach, to small upscale neighborhoods, like Steeple Chase and Hunt Club, in Palm Beach Gardens, where we just completed our 10th bathroom remodel for our 4th homeowner. (out of a community of just 92 homes!), to places as diverse as Limetree, Bent Tree, and Aberdeen in Boynton Beach, to Fisherman’s Landing in Jupiter and the Little Club in Tequesta, we have received multiple projects, based on the word of mouth of neighbors!

I can tell you all day what a wonderful company Palm Beach Builders, Inc. is, but that is just me bragging on my company. A real person, who really turned a room, or two or three over to us, and watched us tear it apart and put it back together, and then paid us for a job well done carries a lot more weight. So, sure, listen to the sales pitch, mine or my competitors, but insist on references, and CALL them.

If you’d like to contact your neighbors who are our previous customers, or have any other questions about a bathroom repair or remodeling project we can help.
