Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are particularly important in the home improvement trade for several reasons:

1. Building Trust: It is important that you feel able to trust any business that you employ and the person who is coming into your home. The trade sector can sometimes be difficult in this respect. Customer reviews however, can give you a better sense of the business and the people involved with it. Reviews are, mostly, honest accounts from previous customers, giving you greater insight and and more peace of mind about the business you might employ.

2. Digital Word-of-Mouth: While traditional word-of-mouth is still very valuable, online reviews are now essential in this digital era. Doing your research and reading reviews online before making a decision to spend money has become the norm. Detailed and honest customer reviews can answer questions and address concerns before you even need to make contact with the business.

3. Set the business apart: Reviews can be a powerful tool to help you understand a businesses' commitment to customer satisfaction and adherence to quality standards.

4. Response to Reviews: Have a look and see if the business responds to customer reviews. If they do, it shows they values their customers’ opinions and also how they deal with any complaints. Some complaints and negative reviews are to expected, but it is how they are dealt with that is important and can sometimes tell you more about a business.
