Hiring Good Help
Don't feel guilty if you lack the time,
the talent or the tools to tackle a repair project. You might
feel comfortable patching your roof or hanging your own wallpaper
- but you could have serious doubts about installing a bay
window. If you hire a repair person, take precautions to make
sure the job is done professionally, promptly, safely and
economically.

to look for
> How to find
a reputable installer person
What
to look for
- Be wary of anyone who contacts you
and is available immediately.
- Be suspicious of anyone who claims
your installation will cost more than a similar repair on a site-built
house. This is not usually the case. Don't pay for a repair
person's ignorance.
- Obtain bids from at least three contractors.
Bear in mind that the lowest price is not always best. Find
out if the estimates include clean-up. Compare materials
and completion date.
- Make sure all appropriate building
permits are obtained. Otherwise, your insurance may not
cover damages.
- Make sure your contractor is appropriately
licensed and has a completion or performance bond. This
protects your from the contractor who orders materials,
installs them, but never pays the suppliers.
- Find out if your contractor has worker's
compensation coverage and insurance for personal injury
and property damage. Ask to see the contractor's "certificate
of insurance." Find out if this insurance policy is
still in effect by calling the insurance company.
- If you choose a general contractor,
make sure they have experience working on manufactured homes.
They are constructed differently than site-built homes.
Ask how many manufactured homes they've worked on and if
they can provide you with references.
- Contact your own insurance agent
to determine if you will need additional coverage or a short-term
rider to provide liability insurance. This is something
you should seriously consider if you will be hiring a "moonlighter"
who does not have appropriate insurance.
- Ask to see any pertinent warranties
before you sign the contract. Determine what the warranty
covers and how the company backs the warranty.
- Finally, obtain all contract specifics
in writing and get a receipt for your payment.
To
find a reputable contractor person, contact:
- Friends and neighbors who've had
repairs done. Is there someone they can recommend?
- The Better Business Bureau.
- Your park management.
- Manufactured home dealers.They may
work with certain repair firms.
- Trades people in other professions.
- Your insurance agent. He or she may
be able to suggest repair people.
- Your local building inspector's office.
They may not be permitted to recommend a specific person,
but they could steer you away from someone unreliable.
- Home inspection specialist.
- Local remodeler or builder association.
- Employees who work for a manufactured
home manufacturer. They will sometimes do repair work on
the side.
