Contractors Exposed!

I was talking to a potential new client on the telephone today and Mrs. Smith asked me if our employees were background check and drug tested. I said that they are and I asked her why that was important to her. Mrs. Smith stated that she was watching a Sunday Night Undercover News Show and learned that some Home Improvement Companies were hiring ex-convicts to do in home repairs.

I reassured her that we do not hire felons and that we do random drug testing on all of our employees. I also told her that we only hire NATE Certified Technicians that have had a minimum of 5 years experience in the Heating and Air Conditioning industry. I am glad that home owners are taking an interest with who and whom is entering there homes. The last thing I what to here is I saw your company on TV for hiring felons and drug addicts! Be careful when hiring contractors and check to see if they are licensed for their trade.
