Greenwood, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2015 -- Social media is chocked full of cautionary tales about unscrupulous remodeling contractors. There are cases where the bills are much higher than the estimate, the completed work is shoddy or dangerous or they may not even have finished the project at all. Knowing how to hire an experienced, trustworthy contractor is key to avoiding these issues and protecting this major investment in your home.

With this in mind, Gettum Home Exteriors has published a home remodeling hiring guide, '7 Questions to Ask When Hiring an Exterior Remodeler in the Indianapolis Area', which they are making available to the public.

The FREE exterior remodeling hiring guide for Indianapolis residents can help to take away some of the mystery about how to find the best contractor, according to company owner Jason Gettum. He states they offer behind the scenes advice which can make it much easier for any homeowner to get the help they need.

"We always provide our clients with the best work we can possibly perform. If there is something wrong or they are unhappy with something we have done, we fix it. Not every contractor is worried about their reputation or cares about their clients," states Jason. "Because we cannot be everywhere, we wanted to at least be able to give peace of mind to those who are nervous about making a decision over which contractor to choose."

Gettum is offering the hiring guide to help answer some of the most common questions many homeowners ask. The guide provides information about arranging a consultation, choosing the right design and understanding the estimate process. It helps people to look for warning signs of a shady contractor and gives tips about finding a contractor that is reputable.

"Probably some of the most helpful tips we offer are about understanding warranties and guarantees," explained Gettum. "Too often people see these and think they have nothing to worry about. That everything is covered, and that is not always the case. We also explain how to recognize good quality material and help people to understand why quality matters."

The company is hopeful that their free guide will encourage more homeowners to feel confident about their ability to find the right contractor. They also want to make certain that people in the Indianapolis area feel comfortable about contacting them if they have any questions or need an estimate for a job in their own home.
