When choosing a decoration company, be sure to ask three questions clearly and don’t pay directly to sign the contract!
Nowadays, many friends will choose some new house decoration tasks to be held by the decoration company because they are busy with their work and lack of decoration experience.
But don’t think that after finding a decoration company, you can “all the best”.
If the decoration company is not reliable, it may also "destroy" the house we have worked hard to buy. There are also many issues that need our attention to when choosing a decoration company.
Whether you find a decoration company through certain channels or a decoration company introduced by an acquaintance, you must ask these 3 questions clearly before making sure, and never pay to sign the contract directly!
①
Cost issue:
Ask the quotation of the decoration company and the items contained in the quotation
Whether you have money or not, when decorating, the first thing you need to consider is the cost issue. Everyone is more concerned about how much it costs to decorate.
So when communicating with a decoration company, the first thing you need to ask clearly is the issue of the cost.
When we communicate with the decoration company, they will give a basic quotation based on the size of the house and the type of the house in our home, and in combination with our decoration needs.
At this time, you may find that the quotations given by different decoration companies are different, and some quotations may even be more than tens of thousands of yuan.
So is the lower the quotation the more cost-effective it is for the decoration company?
of course not! The quotation given by the decoration company, in addition to the area of the house in our home, has a lot to do with the decoration materials they choose and the items they include, so everyone must compare the quotation in all aspects.
After understanding the basic quotation of the decoration company, we need to ask clearly what items are included in the quotation? What is the corresponding unit price for each project? What brand and type of materials will be used when decorating?
These will not only affect the final cost, but also affect the quality of home decoration.
Some decoration companies may have given very low quotations at the beginning, but they also contain few projects. During subsequent construction, there will be additional charges, resulting in more expenses. Therefore, everyone must ask carefully.
②
Constructor questions:
Construction personnel questions:
Ask clearly the origin of the workers and whether they can accept the owners’ additional supervision
The quality and construction technology of decoration workers will directly affect the home decoration process and the final home decoration quality in our home, so before decoration, everyone also needs to ask the relevant information of decoration workers.
Some big brands of home decoration companies basically have their own workers and a complete set of acceptance standards and service requirements.
They have particularly strict requirements for their workers. If workers cut corners during construction, the company will also have corresponding penalties.
It is precisely because the company has a certain control and binding force for workers, so during the construction process, workers will be more serious and responsible, and can better ensure the quality of home decoration.
But if you are an external worker, the company will have less binding force on workers, and there is a high possibility that there will be problems of cutting corners and inferior products as good ones, which will also lead to the ultimate home improvement quality not being up to standard.
In addition, everyone needs to ask whether the decoration company can accept the owner and find a supervisor.
The supervisors prepared by the decoration company are all internal to the company. There may be behaviors of sheltering during the supervision and final acceptance.
If we were the supervisor we were looking for, we would have no interest in the decoration company and would be more secure.
③
After-sales guarantee issues:
Ask clearly the after-sales guarantee period of some hidden projects and solutions to problems.
Decoration is the same as when we buy household appliances, and everyone needs to pay attention to the after-sales problem.
If the after-sales service is not too late, the problems we encounter after check-in will not be solved. We can only spend money on repairs and will also affect our lives.
In terms of after-sales service, what everyone needs to ask about is the after-sales guarantee period of hidden projects.
Some hidden projects are invisible to us. If there are problems in these places, it will be particularly troublesome to repair and will have a particularly great impact on our lives, so everyone must ask carefully.
In addition, what needs to be asked is what solutions can the decoration company provide after a problem occurs.
If there is a problem with the home decoration and the decoration company shirkes the responsibility for various reasons, it will not be properly handled and resolved.
So these questions need to be asked clearly in advance and must be marked in the contract to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the owner.
Summary:
No matter whether you have decoration experience or not, when choosing a decoration company, you must ask the above questions clearly. Every detail cannot be ignored. These will directly affect our interests and final move-in.
