I ought to have paid attention to Bob in the earlier criticism. Be careful with Landrieu Bros. Simply because it's a classic household title within the New Orleans region, or becaue they have been running a business for 25 years does not mean something.
Sales 101
The very first sibling, Kenny Landrieu, found my home twice to supply quotes on storm destruction. He actually achieved the insurance provider to examine the estimation. I chose to agreement for that first component and maybe do the 2nd centered on how they are doing the very first agreement - they'd been useful in a period of need. NEVERTHELESS, after I allow Kenny understand I had been just performing the very first component, he really SCREAMED at me about the telephone - the 2nd sibling, Greg, actually joked about that. Ethical of the very first encounter - wish that you don't discourage easy.
Getting 101 - BE CAUTIOUS
Kenny Landrieu published a broad contract-based around the comprehensive estimation he'd formerly supplied and also the discussions and contracts we'd created. I closed it and also the last point claims this agreement includes all function and you will find no verbal contracts. With no details, they are able to lower edges all around the location - and remember these discussions you had using the first sibling when he was performing the income work - overlook them. Make certain every small depth, right down to dimensions, brands and versions (i.E. 650 square feet Certainteed Monogram exterior, 18 blankets 1/2" CDX plywood), is inside your agreement. Keep nothing to some pleasant handshake or menis contract - no space for-give and consider!!! Lesson learned - get every small depth written down.
Building 101
Remember, in case your work is significantly less than $75,000, they don't need to be an authorized company.
Next sibling, Greg, arrives to describe function. He then describes towards the building guide from El Salvador who's luckily enough to talk Spanish therefore the Mexican employees comprehend him -simply because they don't realize you.
I'd recommend you need to do study how the job ought to be completed to help you manage it and make certain they are doing it right. There are lots of installation instructions and guidelines on the web to steer you. Our storm destruction from Gustav is all all messed up since they allow "Tony" do the job since he required the cash - but that isn't their exterior guy - they will get "Eric", their skilled exterior guy in the future out and repair it - why-didn't they do the job properly the very first time. Our electric function was completed from the roofing assistant that been at work that evening - he explained he was certified in California...
You've to remain along with anything - actually! I respected the corporation, nevertheless when I continued the top to check on, I'd damaged tiles and exterior which wasnot actually nailed to my home, and of course that top leak! After further examination, the exterior wasn't mounted properly in several locations therefore the producer won't guarantee - they'll declare it's an installation issue. Did I also note they didn't make use of the decided to exterior (spoken) - they employed the design a below that will be finer and more affordable for them. Another lesson from contracting 101.
Customer 101
Be cautious - when you have them angry - they shout at you! I am a 5'3" lady which 6' guy was standing in my own garage shouting at me - and that is the 2nd period! My loved ones claims I ought to not need let him shout at me - everybody claims it's since I had been a lady alone. I'd recommend you've somebody along with you when coping with these folks which means you possess a witness to anything.
You need to be CAUTIOUS and remember - get every depth created for the reason that agreement, view every shift they create.
However, you-can't trust anybody nowadays. I will have images posted shortly.
