This is your guy if you want an unprofessional, terrible communicator, that cannot commit to, nor keep appointments. Do not schedule if you are a small job, his bigger jobs put you on the back burner, for a very long time. Heath Nolan Wilson admitted he drug the job out. He promised to honor the original bid because of that, and never came back except to repair the leak he left in our roof. The repair still has water issues. When pressured to commit to a date he threatened to call the State Inspector and cancel our permit, which we paid for several times. Be sure to read the Yelp Reviews on Rainbow Plumbing as this is where he worked and held a different name? If that is the type of stress, frustration, and waste of time and money you desire, this is your guy!
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Westcliffe Custom Homes companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Custom Homes company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Westcliffe contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
Always ask for references, and always check them. Keep in mind though that the only references you'll get are people who the contractor is certain will give him a good review. You'd also be well advised to check online review sources in Westcliffe as well, which will give you a broader view of customer satisfaction for a given company.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
