"Joann only needed to do this one thing
to prevent her retaining wall from tumbling down....." - Bert B., ICPI Certified

Find out how educated consumers avoid disasters like this from happening to them.
The ability to choose a quality contractor who can get your retaining wall project done comes down to a simple question, do you provide a LIFETIME WARRANTY ON ALL YOUR INSTALLATIONS?
There are many ways to build a retaining wall, some of them are good and some of them are real bad…. The last thing you want to do is hire a contractor who is going to slam a bunch of rocks together.
If you get yourself involved with a low quality wall that was poorly installed and designed, it could cause BIG problems for you. Worst case, your retaining wall can fall over on you or someone else!
But RELAX…….. There is a way to pre-qualify those who know what they are doing from those who have no desire nor want to be involved with you or your project once it’s completed. Its called a LIFETIME WARRANTY…..
What’s in a LIFETIME WARRANTY anyway?……
A LIFETIME WARRANTY says I am not afraid to be held to the highest standard of quality work. You do not have to be weary of me; I am willing to put my company, name, and finances behind my work to make sure that you get the best job on the market….. Or I will pay out of my own pocket to fix whatever may or could go wrong….
A LIFETIME WARRANTY lets you know that the contractor is married to their work. Contractors who are willing to make a strong statement such as a “LIFETIME WARRANTY” know that if they take shortcuts they will have to pay for it later when you call them up and ask them to revisit the job at NO CHARGE.
A LIFETIME WARRANTY will usually repel any contractor who has no intention of doing quality work or does what we call “sub-standard work.” In fact, a LIFETIME WARRANTY tells you alot about what the contractor thinks about the quality of his work.
A LIFETIME WARRANTY give you the comfort that it will be done right the first time because again the contractor does not want to have to keep coming to your home time and time again to fix a problem.
Imagine you are sitting at the kitchen table discussing the final numbers; you take out your check book and say to the contractor ‘who do I make this out to?’ The contractor looks at you in relief that he has closed another deal and is about to get a deposit for a nice chunk of change and then……
YOU ASK the million dollar question, “Do you offer a lifetime warranty on your installations? He looks surprised, thinking he had another customer in the bag already and he responds “NO, sorry we don't do that.”
Wouldn’t it make you wonder, ‘why not?’
All types of questions should come to your mind. Here are a few, just off the top of my head….
- Do you believe your work will stand the test of time?
- How do I trust that you’re doing quality work?
- How long do you think it will last before I have to shell out more money?
- What if something goes wrong?
In a nutshell, it removes the ‘WHAT IF’ question….
The LIFETIME WARRANTY question is a point-blank question and it should either make you feel comfortable with moving forward or it should let you know right away that this contractor will NOT be building my retaining wall….
