When building or purchasing a home that needs a well, there are so
many decisions to be made. Everything from roofing-flooring,
cabinetry-well drilling must be considered. So how do you decide when
there are so many details???? At T. Huemann Well and Pump Inc., we
believe the best consumer is an educated consumer. Here are some
important items to consider when choosing a contractor:
Look for a contractor who takes the time to answer your
questions...
A contractor should be servicing the
customer from the first phone call. Questions often need to be asked AND
answered! Remember you’re purchasing a product and have the right to know
and understand what you’re getting for your money.
Look for a contractor who will talk to a woman about
details....
Hard to believe, but yes it happens in this day
and age too! At Huemann’s, we have found that most often it is the women
who call to clarify details on a contract or question a component they
don’t understand. Any contractor should be more than happy to service all
of their customers.
Look for a contract that you are able to
understand.....
If the contract seems confusing, then it
probably is--and it’s probably meant to be. Many confusing contracts have
hidden costs. Have the contract clarified--what are you getting and what
does it cost!! If it’s still confusing---BEWARE!
Look for a company that guarantees their work....
Any company who doesn’t stand behind their work must not be selling a good
product. If you don’t see a guarantee on the contract, ask the contractor
about it. Whatever verbal arrangements or promises are made, do be sure to
get in writing also.
Do not base your decision solely on
cost....
You’ve heard the old adage, "you get what you pay
for..." A really cheap well/water system may be just that a really cheap
well with hidden costs, no guarantee, and little to no servicing after the
product has been purchased. It pays to shop around and compare pricing as
well as service. A few extra dollars are worth the peace of mind in
knowing good water will be flowing through your new home for years to
come.
