The importance of a qualified tradesman.

When you’re designing your dream home you want to ensure you give it the best attention that it deserves. Not only do you want to install the best features and accessories you also want to ensure that you hire a quality and experienced tradesmen.

Building and renovations can be difficult and extremely stressful. To ease the pressure many people hire a tradesman so that the job goes as smoothly as possible. The work of the tradesmen will reflect in the quality of your home, and unfortunately there is an abundance of tradesmen in the building industry that are neither qualified nor experienced. Glaziers can call them self Glaziers without any trade experience or qualifications behind them. Our Boss here at Point Cook glass has been in the industry for over 25 years and his attention to detail and professionalism is a high priority.

Hiring a qualified tradesman will bring you a sense of security and guarantee, for you can be assured that the work will be of the highest quality and standard. Here are three things that you can do to ensure your job gets done professionally and of the highest standard.

Ask questions. It is important that you develop a positive and honest relationship with those undertaking work for you. Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions and do your research so that you are completely clear on what it is that you want to achieve. Make sure they know their stuff.

Check qualifications. If you are uncertain ask where your Glazier completed their apprenticeship. Make sure they have public liability and insurance. Check to see if they offer a warranty and remember – if you need a Australian Standard Certificate for your insurance co. – you want to make sure they’re able to supply you with one when the jobs finished!

Check references. Ask how long the tradesmen or company has been trading and what experience they have. Research past jobs performed and get recent examples of the tradesmen’s work if possible. Socail proof always lets you know how good or bad that company is.

When it comes to installing your glass splashback make sure that you get somebody that comes highly recommended because unfortunately in Victoria anyone can install your splashback. To avoid shoddy work, always check with your glazier that they’re a qualified tradesman fro peace of mind and good workmanship.
