Are you looking to hire a professional pond contractor to construct your backyard pond? Here are a few questions you need to ask the professional to ensure you get one that best fits your needs.
- Guarantees
It’s prudent to always ask your choice of contractor if they offer any guarantees on their craft. This will help you avoid individuals with poor business practices. Hence, a standard warranty should be at least one year.
- Pond services
This is yet another vital question to ask. Do they offer any pond services? Chances are, if a contractor doesn’t offer any pond service, they won’t take care of any problems once construction is completed.
The best firm will offer some training manual or some sort of training to ensure that you are comfortable enough to take care of your pond once installed as a customer.
- How long will it take?
How many days will it take to complete the project successfully? This is crucial as no one wants to have a prolonged project with strangers around their home for long. A seasoned pond contractor should be in and out of your property in a few days, not months.
- Support service
Be sure to ask about any additional support service after the project is completed. Ask about future cleaning/maintenance services in case pumps of other stock parts require replacement.
Ideally, you want to work with the same pond contractor that handled the installation. Why? Since they did the work, they have an intricate understanding of the pond; hence they are best suited to carrying out maintenance on the project.
