Beyond technical skill and craftsmanship, consider customer service a hidden asset often ignored. Poor contractor communication is a catalyst for frustration and dissatisfaction. Yet, disappointingly, only 4 out of 10 homeowners are satisfied with their contractors’ customer service levels.
The ability to communicate clearly and create a positive relationship is crucial for overall project success. Contractors failing in this often breed misunderstandings, leaving tasks unnecessarily prolonged or incomplete.
Evaluating a contractor’s dedication to customer service is simpler than it sounds. Ordinarily, this becomes evident from initial contact and responses during the project bid stage. Look for enthusiasm and promptness—they’re often positive indicators.
Improving your focus in this critical area can redefine project outcomes. There’s more to building than blueprints and materials; a revelation you’ll soon uncover could redefine construction norms.
