The Counter to "Contractors Cut Corners" Trope
Katelyn Lewis • September 6, 2023
There’s a common fear among homeowners that some contractors cut corners or use low-quality materials to save money. And unfortunately we know some who do.
So how does Retex counter the common trope that “contractors cut corners?”
- Quality materials:
We only recommend and use high-quality materials. We understand that quality materials produce quality results, and we want our work to last and our customers to be satisfied.
- Attention to detail:
We pay attention to every detail of the project, ensuring that everything is done correctly and thoroughly to avoid mistakes and unsatisfactory results.
- Professionalism:
We maintain a professional attitude and work ethic by showing up on time, being respectful, and maintaining a clean and safe work area. Doing so helps to ensure that the work is done properly and not rushed.
- Transparent communication: We communicate clearly and openly with you, dear homeowner, providing updates on progress and any issues that arise.
- Warranties and guarantees: We stand behind our work with repair and replacement warranties for our customers. And we don’t mark a project complete until you’re over the moon about it.
