How to find the best Penrith tradies
We list down some tips and questions to ask when trying to find the right tradie professionals in Penrith.
1. Check to see if your Penrith tradies are qualified
Regardless of whether you need a pest control specialist, building inspector, builder, electrician, or plumber, the same thing applies – do your research.
Take the time to check out their qualifications, experience and track record..
2. Always ask for references
Word of mouth or referral is often one of the best ways to guarantee you’re hiring the right local business.
This means if you need a builder or any other trade to work on your house then you would want to see their previous work – or hear what their last customers had to say.
You would expect any good Penrith tradie to have many customers in the local area and so you should ask for details and contact them directly.
Be wary of any tradie that is not prepared to share references. The bottom line is do your homework on the business you are planning to engage. The bigger the project is, the more research you should do.
3. Always ask for a quote and contract
Always ask for a quote and a written contract for larger projects.
A good tradie should be amenable to putting everything into writing to establish responsibilities on both ends. This gives you the assurance that the person runs an ethical business.
Stay safe by doing this to all tradies you need to hire no matter how small or large the job, whether it be pest control services, plumbing, electrical work or a full home renovation.
Request a copy of their insurances always! Public liability insurance is an absolute must no matter the size of the job.
