Specialty Contractors

A specialty contractor usually works directly for the homeowner and may be referred by the manufacturer that has trained the installer on the correct application process. The manufacture’s specification for the installation process is compiled specifically for the contractor’s knowledge of the product. Because of RCM’s format, home owners will be able to include and refer to the manufacture’s Product Specification prior to starting a remodel or new construction project.

The following list, will give you a sample of the type of work a specialty contractor performs:

Certified Contractors

When hiring a specialty contractor perform a quick check to see if the contractor has been certified or has previous experience installing the products. The following is just a sample list of manufactures that have certification programs throughout different regions of the country for their product installation.         

If you ever have a concern with a Specialty or Certified Contractor, it would be advantageous to contact the manufacture’s representative and request an inspection of the installation by a qualified representative prior to signing a contract. Then ask for a letter certifying the inspection to keep in your file for the full length of the warranty period. If they will not work with you in this manner, find another product.
