Let The Investigation Begin – Public Records

Evaluating a home exterior remodeling company’s financial stability isn’t easy for the average homeowner, but here are some steps you can take to get a better sense of their health:

Business Registration:

Check with your state’s licensing board or secretary of state’s office to verify the company is registered and in good standing. This may also reveal how long they’ve been operating – a good sign of stability.

Thanks to our outstanding workmanship and customer service, RGS Exteriors has been registered with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing since 1994 – with zero disciplinary actions.

Better Business Bureau:

The BBB helps customers find trustworthy businesses. We’re proud to have maintained an A+ rating since 2007external link, open in new tab – with zero complaints and many 5-star customer reviews.

Now that you’ve got your detective hat on let’s dig even deeper.

Company Inquiries

Remember, if a contractor is struggling financially, they may be tempted to skimp on quality or leave a job incomplete. But with a little due diligence, you can avoid the stress of subpar workmanship and unfocused customer service.

• Years In Business: A longer track record suggests the company has managed finances well enough to stay afloat. RGS Exteriors & Construction has been a top-rated, family-owed company dating back to the 1950s – with five generations of experience and ongoing training in the latest techniques and materials.
• References: Ask for a list of recent clients and contact them to inquire about their experience with the company’s finances.
• Payment Terms: Inquire about their payment schedule. Large upfront deposits could be a red flag, while a reasonable down payment with progress payments is more typical for stable companies.
• Insurance And Licenses: Up-to-date insurance and licenses show they’re operating legally and can handle potential issues. Ask for proof of liability and worker’s compensation insurance. Reputable companies will readily provide this.
• Past Customer Complaints: Don’t just settle for licenses and permits. Look beyond the surface to see if the contractor has any legal problems. Check online for lawsuits or complaints against them related to money. 

By looking at these factors, you can get a better picture of a company’s financial health.

Still not convinced? Good!

There are even more ways to ensure your peace of mind when choosing an exterior remodeling contractor in Utah.

Researching Reviews And Associations

Reviewing what customers and professional associations have to say about a company’s past work is invaluable when it comes to ensuring the success of your project.

Reviews And Complaints:

Look for online reviews on business review sites and social media to see if past customers have raised concerns about finances or project completion.

Be cautious of overly glowing reviews, but negative feedback about finances can be a warning sign. At RGS Exteriors, we’re thrilled to have earned 5-star reviews and an A+ BBB rating.

Industry Associations:

Check if the company belongs to any professional organizations relevant to exterior remodeling. These types of memberships can’t be bought. They are earned through a long history of excellence – indicating a commitment to industry standards and long-term financial stability.

RGS Exteriors is proud to be included in the Certified Contractors Network (CCN). We are also the only James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor in the state of Utah.

BIG Warning Signs

Not all deals are created equal, especially when it comes to home improvement projects. Here’s why these scenarios can be red flags and what to look for instead:

High-Pressure Sales Tactics:

Look for contractors that make you feel at ease. Be wary if a company pushes for an immediate decision. Stable companies should move at your pace – confident their work and customer service will win you over.

Rest assured that RGS Exteriors will NEVER rush or pressure you into a decision. We believe high-pressure sales tactics destroy projects and are committed to giving you the information and space you need to make the right choice for your home.

Unrealistic Pricing:

Extremely low quotes might seem appealing, but they could be a sign that the company cuts corners or focuses solely on speedy sales to stay afloat financially.

Instead, look for companies that give you realistic quotes with financing options. At RGS Exteriors, we offer several financing options for your exterior home remodeling project:

• 6 Months at zero interest
• 12 Months at zero interest
• 18 Months at zero interest
• 24 Months at zero interest
• Up to 10 years at low interest

A financially stable company should be straightforward and professional. If they hesitate to answer your questions, offer unusually low prices, or use high-pressure sales tactics, consider it a red flag.

Going Forth With Confidence

Your exterior home remodeling project is a big deal, and the type of contractor you choose will impact every aspect of it. When it comes to research, don’t rely solely on one factor. Use a combination of these tips to get a well-rounded picture.

By gathering information and asking questions, you can increase your confidence in choosing a financially secure exterior home remodeling company.
