Contractor Referral Services thrive in Greater Vancouver

There are numerous renovation contractor referral services in the Greater Vancouver area. Because a personal referral or word-of-mouth advertising is the most powerful marketing tool, these services exist to promote renovation contractors and other remodeling service providers. They use terms like licensed, certified, pre-screened and highly qualified, to give consumers the impression of substantial background checks, well documented credentials, inspections, etc. Nothing could be more intentionally mis-leading. Professional contractors usually wouldn't pay a referral service for simply providing job leads. With the extreme shortage of skilled renovation contractors, those that need a referral service to find customers, should be carefully examined.

Anyone who buys a business license can legally call themselves a licensed commercial contractor. Since BC has no construction industry Lemon Laws to protect consumers, your only real protection from unscrupulous renovation contractors (and those who refer them) is knowledge and experience. Renovation contractor referral services charge a fee to their highly qualified renovation contractors just to recommend them to YOU. The contractor either pays a membership fee to join the association, kicks-back a percentage of your total project cost, or they simply pay a flat fee per referral. You will always pay this fee somewhere in your final bill. Good renovation contractors, like gold, are where you find them! Look carefully before you hire the newest member (on the bottom of the referral list) from any renovation contractor referral service. Buyer beware has never been more important.
