Experience counts and so does having the proper equipment and space to complete an assignment.
Also important is the personality of the professional. Are they easy to work with? Friendly?
Do they have good references? Do they stand behind the quality of everything they do? Are prices clear and is there a clear description of the job description in the quote?
What questions should customers think through before talking to vendors about their needs?
Customers should have an end goal in mind for their project. Since there are many ways to do projects, it is best to call first and discuss your project with your vendors. They will ask numerous questions and should be able to give you specific pricing based on what is discussed and agreed upon.
