Your job should be backed with a written guarantee!  Many contractors will tell you that their job comes with a "Lifetime Guarantee".  But, be careful?  What they really mean is the manufacturer will guarantee the product against manufacturing defects for life.  This is not the same as a written labor warranty!

A labor warranty insures that any defect in workmanship is repaired or replaced by the contractor, at no expense to you!  Many contractors and retailers will not provide you with a written labor warranty. 

Why?

Your guess is as good as mine.  I've always felt that every job should be backed with a written workmanship guarantee.  If they don't feel confident enough to guarantee their work, they should get out of the business.  If a contractor wont' guarantee it, don't buy it.  Our workmanship is guaranteed for five full years!
