Fact: Everyday many homeowners make bad decisions with their most important investment—their home ... |
Everybody knows homeowners who have had their money stolen by fraudulent fly-by-night contracting companies or end up with shoddy workmanship. But did you know that even with well-established bona fide companies, homeowners often end up dissatisfied, stuck with products that don’t fulfill their needs, wants, and desires?
Why do homeowners often make such bad decisions? How can you avoid falling into the same trap?
Most often it’s not a lack of information… Instead, it’s a lack of accurate information.
As you read every word of this article, you’ll learn how easy it is to get accurate information for free.
Let me ask you ...
What home improvement project are you thinking about
and how do you go about gathering information?
Most people rely on information from many sources…their brother-in-law who’s put his own siding on, the next-door neighbor, advertisements from different companies on TV, radio, and newspaper. Pushy salesmen are another source people often listen to.
Unfortunately, even if the information is truthful, it may not show the whole picture of whether the product will really meet your needs, wants, and expectations in the long run.
A product that may work for your neighbor may not be best for you … Your home, your budget, and your situation are all unique—one of a kind.
I don’t need to tell you the best source for good information is a trusted friend, a mentor, someone who’s been there many times before and knows all the available options and products. He’ll value his relationship with you…
He’ll want what’s best for you and help you make a decision you’ll be happy with for years to come.
Where do you find such a friend?
My grandfather Don F. Drake and father Larry Drake started Security Siding in 1956…Over 48 years later, we’re now on the 3rd and 4th generations of Drakes working in the company.
During all those years, we’ve kept the mindset that we must consider our clients to be like “friends and family.” Taking care of them and looking out for their best interests is the best way to do business.
I discovered long ago that by looking out only for myself, no one’s needs are met, not even my own. What a revelation it was to me when I learned that by being truly interested in helping others first, everyone’s needs are actually met.
By making sure our clients’ needs are met, we make sure that we remain in business, thereby, meeting our needs.
As proof that this philosophy works, consider the fact that much of our business comes from (1) doing new work for our past clients and (2) from them telling their friends about our good work.
When you’re getting an estimate from any home improvement contractor, ask yourself these questions:
- Is the contractor thinking about what’s best for you, or is he thinking about what’s best for himself and his company?
- Is he recommending the product to you only because it has the highest profit margin, which will put the most money in his pocket?
- Is he recommending it to you only because it’s easiest for the company to install, thus increasing profits?
- Or is he recommending it to you because he understands your problems and sincerely feels this product will solve your situation in the best possible manner while fitting your budget?
Our lifetime of experience and expertise benefits you directly…
