5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Aluminum Contractor

Not all aluminum contractors are equal. Before signing, ask these five questions.

1. Licensed and Insured?

Ask to see documentation. Unlicensed means no permits, no inspections, no recourse if something goes wrong.

2. Does the Quote Include Engineering and Permits?

Some quote the structure only and add engineering/permit fees later. Get clarity on everything included.

3. What Gauge Aluminum?

Heavier gauge = stronger. Budget contractors use minimum-code thickness with no safety margin. For Florida storms, you want above-minimum.

4. Who Does Installation?

In-house crews deliver more consistent quality than subcontracted labor.

5. Local References?
