A contractor’s website should help you understand the kind of work they actually do. Look for relevant examples and a clear explanation of the company’s role. A gallery photograph, rating or general claim is a starting point for questions rather than proof that every type of project is covered.
Match the example to your job
Ask whether an example shows the same fence system, gate type or site conditions as your proposal. Confirm who performed the work and whether the image is a real project or a concept. Avoid assuming that a city label establishes an office, service commitment or completed installation at your location.
Ask about responsibilities
Discuss who measures, orders materials, arranges access and completes reinstatement. Confirm any insurance or qualification information directly with the appropriate sources. A written scope and clear company contact are more useful than a badge whose meaning is never explained.
Review the proposal process
Look for a way to record assumptions, changes and exclusions. Ask how the company handles questions after installation and what documentation is supplied. Choose based on the fit between your project and the contractor’s demonstrated process, not an unsupported promise of being the best.
Bring these four points to the conversation
- Relevant work
- Named company
- Written scope
- Aftercare process
Turn the discussion into a written record
Keep a short record of relevant work, named company, written scope and aftercare process. Separate confirmed information from assumptions and list the questions that still need the responsible company or design professional. Send the current version with your drawings or photographs so later decisions can be traced back to the same brief, rather than comparing conversations based on different information.
