If you have cracks or crevices in your house, whether they’re in the foundation, the walls, or the floor, you’ll need the services of an expert in crack repairs. Here are a few tips to choose one.
Every construction contractor in Quebec must have a license from the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). Make sure the contractor you plan on hiring has a valid license from the RBQ, and that he does cracks or foundation repairs. Sub-categories in which a contractor can work are listed on the RBQ’s website.
In Canada, various associations offer lists of recommended businesses, including contractors in crack repairs. Also, don’t hesitate to seek out and ask for client references, and contact them to ask questions about their experience.
Ask the expert in cracks you want to hire all the necessary questions regarding your particular situation, in order to determine whether or not they’re the right company for the job. Additionally, make sure you learn as much as you can about their insurance and their validity, their financial situation, specialties, deadlines, etc.
Some contractors in Gentilly QC operate outside the lines of legality, and may offer to provide a job that you’ll pay for in cash (with the incentive to save on taxes). Be incredibly weary of these types of offers. Not having a contract or receipt could be problematic in the event of a dispute with the contractor. Therefore, make sure you have a written and detailed contract.
