The Counter To "Contractors Are Unreliable" Trope
Katelyn Lewis • Aug 24, 2023
How can you make sure your contractor is reliable?
Make sure they have the following five attributes:
- Stellar references and reviews: Ask for references and check online reviews to see what other customers have to say about the contractor's reliability.
- Contracts & Timelines:
Contractors who are reliable will explain and provide a detailed contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.
- Clear Communication:
Reliable contractors will communicate clearly and regularly with you, providing updates on progress and addressing any concerns or issues that arise.
- Insurance & License:
They should have and be able to easily provide you with copies of their license and insurance, protecting themselves and you.
- Professionalism: A reliable contractor will be professional in their interactions with you, showing up on time, being respectful, and maintaining a clean and safe work area.

This Midlothian homeowner reached out to Retex in August 2023 for a roof replacement quote. Retex’s Mark Erickson assessed and discussed the roof in question, and helped the homeowner select Owens Corning Duration “Driftwood” shingles to compliment his home’s exteriors.
The homeowner chose Retex to replace his siding with CertainTeed’s Mainstreet vinyl siding in “Pacific Blue,” and had 16 Provia Ecolite windows and a new patio door installed.
Can you replace just pieces of damaged siding?
Quick answer: Yes. But there's a little more to it – read on to find out what your options are.
