Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Home Improvement Company

When embarking on a home improvement project, choosing the right company can make all the difference between a smooth, stress-free experience and a journey fraught with difficulties. To help guide you through this crucial decision-making process, we’ve compiled a list of the top five things you should consider when selecting a home improvement company.

1. Length of Trading

One of the first factors to evaluate is how long the company has been in business. A company with extensive experience will have a solid track record and a wealth of knowledge to handle a variety of projects. Look for a company that has been trading for several years, as their longevity is often a testament to their reliability and quality of work. At Droylsden Glass, we have over 40 years’ industry experience, so we’re certainly a safe bet for your home improvement plans.

2. Accreditations & Award Wins

Accreditations and awards are markers of a company’s commitment to quality and industry standards. Look for companies that hold certifications from recognised industry bodies and have received awards from reputable organisations. These accolades are often hard-earned and indicative of a company’s dedication to excellence and continuous improvement.

Accreditations from organisations such as CERTASS and the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman (FHIO) highlight that the Droylsden Glass team are highly skilled and qualified glazing professionals.

3. Reviews / Testimonials

Customer reviews and testimonials offer invaluable insights into a company’s performance and customer service. Online platforms such as Google Reviews and Trustpilot can provide a range of customer experiences. Have a browse of our case studies and video testimonials of our recent work. This can give you as real idea of the quality of our products and services.

4. Guarantees / Warranties

A reputable home improvement company should offer robust guarantees and warranties on their work and materials. These assurances protect you against defects and poor workmanship, giving you peace of mind. Understand the specifics—what exactly is covered, the duration of the warranty, and any conditions that might void it. A strong guarantee reflects the company’s confidence in their craftsmanship and materials, signalling that they stand by the quality of their work.

At Droylsden Glass, we provide a comprehensive 10-year product guarantee on all installations so you can rest assured that your investment is protected. We have a dedicated customer service team and have covered warranties for over four decades. Have a read of our terms and conditions for more detailed information.

5. Showroom Availability

A showroom can provide a tangible sense of a company’s offerings, quality, and attention to detail. Visiting a showroom allows you to see and feel the materials that will be used in your project and get a clearer understanding of the company’s style and capabilities. Speaking with knowledgeable staff in the showroom can also provide immediate answers to any questions you might have, further building your confidence in your choice.
