The Counter to "Contractors Not Knowledgable" Trope
Katelyn Lewis • October 18, 2023
We’ve heard countless horror stories about homeowners who chose contractors that lacked the necessary knowledge or expertise to complete a project correctly, raising concerns about the quality of the work performed.
So how does Retex counter the common trope that “contractors are not knowledgeable?”
- We provide long-term value, delivering better quality for your money invested. When you shop around for the lowest price or quickest fix, you may sacrifice hiring someone who actually knows how to do the job right, leading to more headaches and money spent fixing the issue than if you invest in a higher-quality contractor at the start.
- Our team and crews have 10+ years of experience and expertise, which means we can complete jobs efficiently and with a high level of skill, guaranteeing you a better-quality end result and saving you money in the long run. We understand the industry standards and best practices and have the skills and knowledge required to complete the project successfully.
- We stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends, materials, and technologies, and we participate in manufacturer and industry training programs throughout the year. And we provide each customer a detailed proposal that outlines the scope of work and materials required to complete the work successfully.
- We’re licensed and insured to do the work we do, and we’re committed to following legal requirements and industry standards to do it right. Plus, our 150+ 5-star Google reviews from satisfied customers demonstrates our knowledge and expertise.
