What questions should you ask a stone fabricator?
First, questions to ask yourself:
- Aside from the overall cost of the project, what are my most significant concerns?
- How fussy am I about quality workmanship?
- Do I have a way to get prompt answers to my questions and issues?
- Do I feel comfortable that the people I’m working with understand and care about the success of my project?
- Does the caliber of laborer working in my home make a difference to me?
- Am I concerned about our environment?
- To what degree am I willing to compromise these issues for the sake of price?
Once you understand what is important to you, here are…
Questions to ask your prospective fabricators:
- Do you use your own installers or third party contractors?
- How do you stand behind your work?
- How current are your fabrication techniques? Why does that make a difference?
- What measures do you take to assure there are reputable people working in our home?
- Will your quoted price include everything we need, or might we be surprised by extras and add-ons after we commit?
- When it comes to edge polish quality, what measures are taken to assure a quality finish?
- When it comes to seams, what do you do to assure minimum visibility?
- What is your on-time delivery record?
- If I should have a problem, what is your company’s policy for providing a remedy?
- What systems do you have in place to comply with EPA clean water regulations for avoiding discharge of process water into our environment?
- Does your company measure customer satisfaction? If so, how do you rate?
