You have decided that you want to add a retaining wall to
your property. Now you need to decide if
this is a project that you are going to construct or are you going to have a
contractor construct the wall. We all
have heard horror stories of contractors not remodeling a house right, properly
build a road, etc. The same thing can
happen with retaining walls if you don't select a reputable contractor. So how do you go about doing your homework to
ensure that the contractor you select is the right one for the job?
Nowadays a lot of information can be gleaned from the
internet. The question always at the
back of the mind is how reliable is the source?
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a very reputable source, but not all
contractors can be found there. There
are other popular websites where people can post comments regarding their
particular experience with the contractor, but that doesn't paint the picture
of how much the contractor really knows about building walls. So what is another solution?
Allan Block has a comprehensive Contractor Certification Program. This program is designed to give contractors the proper training and
tools to ensure top quality retaining
walls are built. As a leader in the industry, Allan Block Corporation has
developed these tools and training programs to help contractors get the
knowledge and the resources they need.
With the help of our vast network of trained Allan Block
representatives, thousands of professionals have already taken advantage of our
installation training, technical support, and the many tools we have available
to help them plan, design and build with Allan Block products.
This three-stage program blends the details of wall design
and the experience of wall construction to help us define each contractor’s
individual level of ability and service. This on-going certification program
has also helped us provide a better understanding of how and why stackable
structures work so well.
So the next
time you have a project, contact your local Allan Block representative and ask
about the Contractor Certification Program and see who is certified locally or
inquire about how you can be a certified contractor!
