Steps in Choosing A Framing Company

The selection of framing contractors in Edmonton, Alberta to build the skeleton of your new home is a task which is full of pitfalls for the consumers who are not experts in the industry. It requires a diligent research as well as thorough checking of references and facts. You can start with the list of local companies which can handle custom framing in Alberta and then narrow it down to a few potential choices by doing the following:

You should visit the website of the wood framing contractors and then determine whether the companies seem to be professional and also have good reputations. Ensure you read the customer reviews as well as the "About US" pages so as to find out how long each company has been in business and their qualification and area of expertise. Ensure you determine the area of specialization of the custom wood house framing company as well as how competent the contractor is, if that’s what you want to use for your home.

You can then shortlist around five to ten companies in Edmonton so as to further investigate them. Ensure you check whether each one of the company is listed in the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for your state and check their record as well as feedback so that you can have trust in them. Ensure you confirm legalities such as registration of the business and find out whether the companies are licensed to operate within your state. For instance, there are several resources which can be used to find out whether the company is active and filing taxes.

At this point, you should have around three to five wood framing contractors, by getting rid of those that does not have impressive credentials and those whose BBB report is negative. You can then contact these companies so as to ask each one of them for reference whom you can contact to see their previous custom framing project in Alberta. Ensure you do not accept written testimonials because they can be faked easily; comments which are made on their websites may not be from their clients as well.
