We can rely on well established and certified contractor having proper license. Certified contractors can offer strong warranties on the products that they install and follow the installation guidelines strictly.

• Check for general size of the company and its overall rating.
• Check whether the contracting company is registered with workplace safety and insurance board or with some similar body.
• A strong and established contractor should be a member of one or more trade associations. Check whether the contractor is a part of any local and national industry associations.
• The contractor, who offers emergency service even after the regular business hours, will be able to address serious problem without wasting time.

An established contractor must have a long list of satisfied customers. Better is to contact few of the lists to get feedback about the contractor.
