How To Hire A Shutter Company

Ask The Shutter Company If They Measure & Install Free

If other quality shutter companies are offering free design consultations, free measuring, and free installation, why go with anyone else? If they do offer these freebies, it's likely that they also offer their products at wholesale prices rather than run a retail shutter store that sells shutters made in China at 3 x the markup.

No matter what services the shutter company offers, you need to be sure it's all outlined in the contract. Don't hire them unless you get a written contract with all the details you discussed over the phone.

Licensed Shutter Company In Your State

Hiring a licensed shutter company helps you to avoid scams, cheap products, bad installations, and con-artists who take your hard-earned dollar and run. Be sure to check with your state licensing registrar before hiring a shutter company.

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors is the licensing entity for a shutter company located in our state.

Anyone Who Works In Or On Your Home Or Property Should Be Bonded

Many shutter companies like ours will offer you personalized services like a free in-home design consultation, free measuring, and free installation. Anyone, including your shutter company, should be covered by liability insurance (bonded) if they access your property for work.

If they aren't, you could be held responsible if they slip and fall or injure themselves while on your property. Protect yourself and family by making sure your shutter company is fully insured. Ask to see their certificate of insurance to verify what they claim over the phone.

Ask Them Where Their Shutter Products Are Manufactured

Many shutter companies try to sell flimsy knock-offs of American-Made window treatments that actually come from overseas. Ask them whether or not they make their own and if not, where they come from.
