“5 Questions to Ask Before
Scheduling an Appointment with any Home Improvement Contractor”

By Don Drake, owner of Drake Siding & Sunrooms, one of the oldest family-owned home improvement businesses in Illinois

As you decide what help you’ll need to complete your project, here are some questions to ask before hiring any contractor or company…

How long have they been in business? As you can imagine, length of time in business is a major consideration. Drake Siding & Sunrooms has been Drake family-owned and operated since 1956, and is one of the oldest siding and sunroom companies in Illinois. As you consider our nearly 50 years of experience and 3 generations in the business, you’ll feel comfort in knowing that we’ll be there standing behind your installation for years to come.
Do they use subcontractors? Many companies use subcontractors (independent workers) so they have very little control over the quality of your project. Drake Siding & Sunrooms uses our own employees to do every phase of the job, from concept to completion—so you can be assured of getting exactly what you want.
Do they carry General Liability and Worker’s Compensation Insurance? If the contractor does not have insurance, you will not be protected if your property is damaged. What’s worse, if a worker is injured, you could end up being sued. Because Drake Siding & Sunrooms is fully insured, you do not have to worry about property damage or being held liable for injuries.
Do they own a showroom and warehouse? Many contractors either work out of their home or rent a showroom. If economy in an area goes down, they can just pack up and move. Drake Siding & Sunrooms has solid roots in this area—We own our showroom and warehouse, so you can come and see our wide variety of products, including visiting with us in our three-season patio room and year-round sunroom.
Do they only provide a written "set in stone" price quote? Unlike many companies, Drake Siding & Sunrooms provides much more than just a scribbled estimate of costs—You receive a complete Free Project Design Consultation. You’ll get a complete written proposal with all design details of the project, with the investment calculated down to the penny. All your questions are answered to help you feel confident in your decisions.

Without a doubt, asking these five questions will make your project go much more smoothly.

Feel free to call us today at 217-345-6257 or 1-800-443-3367 to arrange a free project design consultation before our schedule fills up.

Here’s to your successful project,
