Buying a home from Joseph Cameron Homes has been a nightmare. The customer service has been non-existent. Mr. Cameron is one of the rudest and most unprofessional people we have ever met or worked with. We had multiple code violations that were not corrected in a timely manner. Including fire hazards such as missing smoke alarms, incorrect exhaust fan hookup over the stove, and clogged dryer and exhaust vents. We had sanitation issues from day one, and it took over three months for him to send someone out to resolve the issue which was caused by his workers. We have touch up paint and paint in general that has never been completed, tiling issues, and a lot of false promises for resolution some six months later. This is definitely not what we paid for in a custom home. The build quality is sub-standard and corners are routinely cut so he can save a buck. We do not recommend buying a Joseph Cameron Home. If you are considering doing so then we recommend asking all the neighbors in that area about their experience with him beforehand.
Though a standard question, it's important to ask. Most contractors will tell you how long they expect the job to take without you asking. If they don't volunteer that information, be sure to ask. It's also helpful to ask if that's a hard finish date, meaning that it's the definite finish date. If it's a soft finish date, it may be extended for any number of reasons.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Colleyville Additions and Remodels 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.
Many jobs in Texas will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Colleyville Additions and Remodels permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
