1. How do I select the right Masonry Contractor?
Make sure to interview your prospective Contractor very carefully. Here are a few things to consider.
What is the company’s reputation?
Do you know a friend or neighbor who has used the same company with good results? If not, can the company provide you with dozens of reliable references.
How does the company treat you as a potential customer?
How long has the company been in business, and how long have they been building in your area?
Will the company provide you with a clear written estimate so that you’re not confused about what work will be done?
Will they start and finish the project on time?
Will the company add hidden charges after the construction process has begun?
Is the company financially stable so that there is no risk that you’ll be left with an unfinished project if they go out of business?
Will the company be careful of my surroundings?
Will they keep your property clean and safe throughout the construction process?
CMS Construction Group is also well known within the industry for offering unparalleled customer service. From helping you understand all of your options, to clearly communicating what you can expect during the construction process, we make sure that you are well informed during the project.
2. What about warranties? Is my investment well-protected?
Warranties are very important. At CMS Construction Group, we provide you with the best guarantee in the masonry industry. We are confident in the product we build and we offer a warranty that backs it up. You should always ask for and compare the warranties when requesting estimates from builders. You should also remember that a warranty is only as good as the company that issues it. Dozens of contractors go out of business each year. And if they’re gone, so is your warranty.
3. Why do estimates vary so much when the project seems to be the same?
The price of job is determined by much more than just the scope of work to be done. Unfortunately, many contractors don’t include important factors that affect cost in the actual estimate they give you. This also means that you can get hit with hidden charges after construction has begun. Some important things to consider are:
Quality of Materials
Craftsmanship
Design Expertise
Customer Service
Time Required for Construction
Warranties
CMS Construction Group estimates always include the highest quality materials available, superior craftsmanship, expert design, and unparalleled customer service. You also get the knowledge and expertise of a premiere masonry contractor.
4. What should I expect when the job is started?
An accurate understanding of the building process will help you develop realistic expectations for the completion of your project. Depending on the scope of your project it can range from a week to a few months. But obviously, unforeseen factors such as the weather or permit delays can affect the building process. CMS will communicate any changes in the project schedule to you as soon as possible.
5. Does Masonry require any maintenance?
You should ask questions about the warranty on the type of Masonry products you are considering. Proper cleaning will keep your project new for years to come.
6. Does CMS handle removal of construction debris ?
Yes. CMS Construction Group will remove all garbage during and at the end of the job. We leave each job site nice and tidy.
