Safety

• Field employees are safety trained and provided with the appropriate equipment by our in-house safety director
• Site foremen hold pre-job safety meetings and work with the crew to ensure their safety on every job
• Employees are drug tested
• At the end of each day, we leave your project clean, organized, and watertight
• We carry workman’s compensation, automobile, and $4 million in liability insurance that, unlike most insurance policies, will cover damages to your project even while exposed for construction

Guarantees

• Lifetime (50 year non-prorated) material warranties and 5 to 25 year workmanship warranties are available
• Straight Line is part of a very exclusive group of contractors who have been certified by the major manufacturers—only 2 percent of the nation’s contractors even qualify!
• Our crews are trained and certified by leading manufacturers
• After projects, a Field Project Manager visits the site to perform a final quality control inspection
• Staff available 24 hours to answer questions and to offer emergency services

Pricing

• The volume of business and relationships we have with suppliers and manufacturers allow us to pass on savings
• Although we may not be the cheapest contractor, we truly feel we offer the best deal
• We charge what it takes to do the job right the first time rather than deal with the problems corner cutting causes
• All crew members are paid hourly, as opposed to piece work, to emphasize safety and quality
• Ask for details about our monthly payment plan and other financing options

We hope you consider these factors when choosing any home improvement contractor and look forward to working with you in the near future.
