Finding a quality contractor isn’t a fast and easy decision. In most cases, it’s an overwhelming task. Surely, you have questions to ask: How do I begin my search? What qualities am I looking for?

With a 90% customer retention rate, our clients know to expect the best. Before you hire a company for your next project, there are a few things you need to consider.
Good Safety Practices:
When searching for a contractor, your primary focus should be on safety. The last thing you want is a contractor that risks accidents and endangers lives. That’s why we preach safety and quality every single day. Avoid these unnecessary risks by using a safety verification website. These sites review and rate contractors based upon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA) statistics, recordable information, and actual historical data from worksites. How a contractor executes safety at their facility reflects how they’ll act at yours.
Effective Communication:
Being on the same page as your contractor is key for a job well done. Don’t be afraid to ask blunt questions to dig deeper. Contractors should be able to promote their expertise. How have they exceeded expectations in the industry? Are they proactive in meeting your expectations and potential concerns? They should be able to answer these questions quickly and concisely. Asking good questions helps you determine whether they’ll make a good fit or not.
Strive for Innovation:
At Lanracorp, we are believers in continuous improvement. A good contractor does not shy away from trying out new ideas to improve quality, efficiency, and effectiveness when necessary. Through our Innovate 4 Safety program, we look at our current processes and ask ourselves how we can make a safer work environment. Is there a better way to do this? Do we need new equipment? We like to think outside the box on how to improve our safety practices.
A Focused Mindset:
Being focused leads to efficient and successful performance. As mentioned before, quality and safety are our highest values. So, we perform quality and safety audits. When performing these audits, we pay close attention to what’s working and what needs further improvement. Additionally, your contractor should be able to foresee and avoid problems before they arise – not steer away from them.
A Clean Work Background:
When in doubt, focus on the background information. A confident contractor should be proud of their background and be able to prove their expertise. Be sure to ask for proof of work. How is their customer retention rate? How successful were their past projects? Lanracorp ensures our clients are in good hands. For instance, our employees are properly trained, submits to a thorough background check, and drug testing. Our goal is to be the number one ‘all-in-one contractor’ you can trust.
