Slow the decision down when the scope is large.
Relining, rebuilding, major masonry repair, appliance replacement, or other high-cost work should come with a clear explanation of the observed condition and the proposed correction.
Ask for documentation
Request photos or video when appropriate, the inspection findings, the proposed scope, materials or systems being installed, warranty information, and the name of the professional responsible for the recommendation.
Know when a second opinion makes sense
A second qualified opinion can be reasonable when the diagnosis is unclear, the repair is expensive, the proposed work changes significantly after the visit, or the company will not explain why the work is necessary.
A credential is not a warranty. Verify relevant credentials, then evaluate the evidence and scope of work.
