Residents of South Carolina are now able to use the home improvement website ESFS to source quotes for metal siding replacement or installation. ESFS is an online service that connects users with renovation and construction contractors in their local area through a free, no-obligation system.
The brief online form collects critical project details such as whether a new or replacement installation is required, the type of siding to be replaced if applicable, the size and scope of the project and the expected budget and timeframe. This information is then relayed to a number of local contractors, who can all submit no-obligation quotes to the user.
Sourcing multiple quotes with one input ensures each company receives identical project details and thus helps make quotes more directly comparable, explained ESFS director Matt Aird. Due to the nature of ESFS, the contractors are aware they are directly competing for this clients project, which can foster more competitive quotes.
Installation of metal siding is not complex, said Mr. Aird. However it does need to be expertly situated to prevent water entry and subsequent deterioration. A metal siding contractor may not only be chosen for skill and price but also the range of products they use, as different companies will work with different brands and colours of siding. Potential clients should take the time to research available manufacturers to find their ideal siding.
