This is your guy if you want an unprofessional, terrible communicator, that cannot commit to, nor keep appointments. Do not schedule if you are a small job, his bigger jobs put you on the back burner, for a very long time. Heath Nolan Wilson admitted he drug the job out. He promised to honor the original bid because of that, and never came back except to repair the leak he left in our roof. The repair still has water issues. When pressured to commit to a date he threatened to call the State Inspector and cancel our permit, which we paid for several times. Be sure to read the Yelp Reviews on Rainbow Plumbing as this is where he worked and held a different name? If that is the type of stress, frustration, and waste of time and money you desire, this is your guy!
Some companies may require a 10% deposit, some may not require any. For larger projects, you'll almost always need to give a deposit, and it's good to ask how much the deposit will be before going forward with a project. The Westcliffe contractor will know how much they need for a deposit when they've given you the estimate, so ask early.
Many jobs in Colorado will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Westcliffe Custom Homes permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
Though a standard question, it's important to ask. Most contractors will tell you how long they expect the job to take without you asking. If they don't volunteer that information, be sure to ask. It's also helpful to ask if that's a hard finish date, meaning that it's the definite finish date. If it's a soft finish date, it may be extended for any number of reasons.
These first two questions should only relate to services or good purchased directly from the service provider. Many products carry their own warranties, like roofing shingles or siding. It's useful to know what these warranties cover as well as how long they last. The "warranty agent" question is important, because often warranty agents work with the manufacturer to get you repairs under warranty at a much lower price.
This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
