Attention Homeowners: MUST-READ! 19 Essential Tips for Vetting a Company in Today’s Scam-Filled World

With the recent surge in housing demand, the market has been flooded with new companies across various home improvement sectors, not just siding. Our goal is to help homeowners navigate this crowded industry and choose a reputable, trustworthy company. We understand that certain key factors play a crucial role in making an informed decision, and we are here to provide the guidance needed to ensure you work with a reliable professional.

Beware of False Claims of Affiliation with Alpine

We take great pride in the Alpine brand and the reputation we’ve built through years of delivering quality craftsmanship and honest business practices. However, we have recently become aware that certain companies in our local area are falsely claiming to have worked for or been affiliated with Alpine.

Why This Matters

Misrepresenting an affiliation with Alpine is a serious issue because it misleads customers and damages the trust we work hard to uphold. When companies falsely claim to be connected to us, they may be using our name to:

• Gain credibility they haven’t earned.
• Mislead homeowners into thinking they will receive the same level of quality and service that Alpine provides.
• Avoid scrutiny by piggybacking off our established reputation.

What You Need to Know

Alpine does not partner with or subcontract work to just any company. Our name stands for experience, integrity, and top-tier craftsmanship—values that dishonest businesses do not share. If you encounter a contractor who claims to be affiliated with us, please verify with us directly. If any local company tells you they are related to our company in any way – this is misinformation. 

How to Protect Yourself

• Ask for proof of affiliation. If a company claims to be connected to Alpine, ask for documentation or references. Be vigilant and aware that Ai is a power and scary tool, even photos can be altered or fabricated. 
• Verify with us. Reach out to Alpine directly to confirm any claims. We’re happy to clarify whether a contractor has worked with or for us.
• Be wary of deceptive marketing. Some companies will use misleading language like “partnered with” or “worked alongside” when no real connection exists.

We have put several companies on notice for falsely representing themselves as part of the Alpine brand. If you come across a company making such a claim, please let Alpine know immediately. Your vigilance helps protect homeowners from being misled and ensures that our community continues to receive high-quality, trustworthy service.

Experience Can’t Be Faked or Bought – It’s Earned Through Time and Hard Work!

1. Years of Business Operation: The duration for which a business has been in operation serves as a vital indicator of its reliability and stability. (click here to check contractor licensing) or you see how long they have been in business by looking them up on (Better Business Bureau). Always ask the company when they come on site about how long they have been in business and cross reference their response with the links provided. Some companies will use a combined years experienced method (Joe has 3 years, John has 2 and Phil has 4 – therefore we have 9 years of experience). Others will hire someone with a decade plus of experience and try to take credit for the crew/person they hire – telling customers they have more experience then they really do. Also  
   • Misrepresentation: Both methods involve misrepresenting the actual level of experience possessed by the company or its team members. Whether it’s inflating years of experience through a combined total or taking credit for the experience of hired individuals, the end result is the same: deceiving customers about the true expertise of the company.
   • False Advertising: Presenting inaccurate information about the company’s experience can be considered false advertising. Customers rely on the claimed experience when making decisions about which company to hire for their needs. When a company exaggerates its experience, it undermines the trust of its customers and potentially leads to dissatisfaction or legal repercussions.
   • Lack of Transparency: Transparency is crucial in business relationships. By not accurately representing the true level of experience, businesses fail to provide customers with the information they need to make informed decisions. This lack of transparency erodes trust and integrity in the business.
   • Unfair Competition: Misrepresenting experience levels creates unfair competition within the industry. Companies that genuinely have years of experience may lose business to those who falsely claim more experience than they possess. This distorts the market and puts honest businesses at a disadvantage.

Lack of experience often results in having to redo the job, which can be costly. Recently, we had to redo an entire project for another local company that’s only been in business a few years (we can provide proof). This is a common issue with newer companies—you get what you pay for. When you pay a higher price, you’re investing in experience and a company that has already overcome the hurdles of running a business. We’ve also noticed that this same company has made several mistakes on previous jobs, and we expect the owners will need to redo their work soon. The errors were basic mistakes that we learned to avoid in our early months. An experienced company offers more than just skill—it provides better quality, stronger warranties, and reduces the risk of a failing installation.

The Problem with Lack of Permitting in Skagit and Whatcom Counties

One of the biggest challenges homeowners face when hiring contractors in Skagit and Whatcom counties is the complete lack of permitting requirements for siding, window, and door installations. Unlike major cities such as Seattle, where these types of projects require permits and inspections, these counties have no oversight in place. This creates a massive loophole that allows unqualified and unlicensed contractors to perform work without proper experience or accountability.

The Dangers of No Permitting & No Inspections
Without required permits, the risks to homeowners increase significantly:

• Unqualified Contractors: Many companies operating in these counties either hire unlicensed workers or are lead generation firms that hold a business license but subcontract all the work to inexperienced or unqualified installers.
• No Oversight = Poor Workmanship: Since no inspections are required, contractors can cut corners without fear of consequences. Improperly installed siding, windows, and doors can lead to structural damage, water infiltration, and costly repairs down the road.
• Deceptive Business Practices: Many of these companies present themselves as large, reputable businesses by investing in sleek websites, branded trucks, and professional marketing. However, these appearances can be deceiving—what you may actually be dealing with is a lead generation company that outsources your project to the lowest bidder.

Why Experience Matters More Than Ever :

Because permitting and inspections serve as a safeguard against poor workmanship, the lack of these protections makes it crucial to verify a contractor’s experience. A company that has been in business for less than 10 years is more likely to be cutting corners and making costly installation mistakes.

How to Protect Yourself:

Check Their Licensing & Track Record: Ensure the company you hire has a verifiable history of successful projects in your area. Always ask for active jobs in the area and see if they have any active jobs. An experienced and successful company will always have an active job in your area – even in a slow season. 
Look Beyond the Marketing: A flashy website and a fleet of branded trucks/cars don’t equal experience—ask for references and proof of work.

Demand Proper Installation Standards: Even if permits aren’t required, insist on industry-standard installation practices and third-party inspections if necessary.

Be Wary of “Too-Good-to-Be-True” Prices: Low bids often indicate a company is cutting costs by hiring unskilled labor or they are undercutting the market because of no overhead (no expenses).
Permits and inspections are game changers when it comes to protecting your home from shoddy workmanship. In areas where they aren’t required, it’s up to homeowners to be extra diligent in choosing a qualified contractor. Don’t fall for illusions—do your homework and hire a company with a proven track record of excellence.

In conclusion, these practices not only violate ethical standards but also harm both customers and the business itself in the long run. It’s essential for businesses to be truthful and transparent about their qualifications and experience to maintain trust and integrity in their relationships with customers.

2.  James Hardie Elite Program: What You Need to Know

At Alpine, we take pride in our longstanding commitment to quality craftsmanship and industry excellence. For over a decade, Alpine was the only company in Whatcom and Skagit counties to qualify for the prestigious James Hardie Elite Program. This achievement was no small feat—contractors were required to complete 36 full re-siding projects within a single year to be eligible. The program’s rigorous standards ensured that only the most experienced, professional contractors were recognized. Each submission demanded detailed documentation, including contracts and invoices, and projects were subject to strict audits to verify authenticity and quality.

However, the landscape has shifted in recent years. The program’s criteria have been significantly relaxed. The original benchmark of 36 full re-siding jobs has been reduced to just 10 projects annually. Moreover, these projects no longer need to be full re-sides; even partial jobs, such as single walls covering as little as 150 square feet, now qualify. Verification processes have also been minimized, opening the door for less experienced contractors—or even those submitting fabricated projects—to gain entry into the program.

While the James Hardie Elite Program once served as a reliable indicator of a contractor’s expertise, we advise homeowners to exercise caution when using this designation as the sole factor in choosing a contractor. At Alpine Exteriors, we continue to uphold the high standards that earned us our place in the program for over a decade, regardless of how the requirements have changed. Our commitment to quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction remains unwavering.

3. The Problem with Vanishing Estimates

We recently discovered a troubling trend among shady contractors: vanishing estimates—quotes that disappear after a customer reviews them. These companies create estimates, but when you go back to reference them, they’re mysteriously deleted. This is not just deceptive—it’s a massive red flag.

Why Do Companies Delete Estimates?

Some businesses claim they remove estimates to “protect their pricing” or prevent customers from sharing them. In reality, the only thing they’re protecting is themselves—from accountability, liability, and transparency.

The Dangers of Vanishing Estimates
No Record, No Proof: If a company can erase an estimate at will, what’s stopping them from altering or even deleting a signed contract? This opens the door to price changes, hidden fees, and disputes.
Lack of Accountability: A reputable business stands by its quotes. Removing estimates suggests they’re afraid of being held to their original pricing or scope of work.
Customer Manipulation: If you can’t reference an estimate later, the company has total control over the conversation. They can claim you “misunderstood” the pricing or that your project was never quoted as you remember.
No Long-Term Transparency: We provide estimates that customers can review years later because we stand by our pricing, workmanship, and commitment to honesty. If a company sends you a link that later leads to nowhere, it’s a clear sign they’re not operating in good faith.
A Company That Deletes an Estimate Can Delete a Contract
If a company can make your estimate disappear, what’s stopping them from altering or even erasing your signed contract? This kind of shady business practice puts homeowners at risk of unexpected charges, incomplete work, and legal headaches.

How to Protect Yourself

Always Request a Downloadable or Printed Copy of your estimate. If a company only provides a disappearing link, insist on a PDF or hard copy.

Read Reviews & Ask Questions about their process for handling estimates and contracts.

Choose a Contractor That Stands by Their Word. A company that deletes estimates is likely to cut corners elsewhere—don’t take the risk.

At the end of the day, a disappearing estimate is a sign of a disappearing commitment to honesty and quality work. Don’t trust a contractor that won’t stand behind their pricing

4. The Illusion of size:  Many smaller companies or lead generation entities go to great lengths to appear like large, established businesses. They often lack a real office or physical location, relying instead on multiple Google business pages to generate calls from various cities. These listings might use virtual addresses, such as post office boxes or storage units. They create impressive websites and saturate the internet to attract clients, and may even have branded work trucks or other vehicles to foster trust and give an impression of size. Typically, these businesses are run by single owners without any staff. These owners may conceal their role, posing as estimators, project managers, or salespeople, when in fact they are the sole operator of the business. This is often due to their young age or lack of experience. Don’t be deceived by these tactics. If something goes wrong, these companies often vanish with your money or fail to fix their mistakes, leaving you with zero accountability.

5. Lower Prices Do NOT Mean Equal Service:  Many of you have heard the phrase “comparing apples to apples,” but it’s rarely applied correctly. Comparing a 20-year-old company with a full staff and multiple locations to a 1-year-old company operating out of a pickup truck is not a fair comparison.

Established companies bring years of experience and advanced problem-solving capabilities that are often absent in newer firms. Their extensive background enables them to identify potential pitfalls in a project that inexperienced companies may overlook. For instance, a homeowner once hired a new construction company to expand a window. Midway through the project, a significant structural issue was discovered, one that an established firm would likely have anticipated and planned for from the start. This oversight led to costly delays and additional expenses that could have been avoided.

Furthermore, established companies typically carry comprehensive insurance, which safeguards both the project and the personnel involved. This protection is crucial, as it ensures that homeowners are not held liable for any incidents or injuries that may occur during the project. We know of a case where another company faced a serious issue: one of their employees fell off a ladder, and because the company did not carry the proper insurance for his protection, the employee ended up suing the homeowner. The lawsuit was successful, as the contractor was neither willing to cover the injury costs nor had workers’ compensation insurance. This situation underscores the importance of working with an established, properly insured company to avoid such liabilities.

Recently, we heard a cautionary tale about a customer who hired a less established company. The project, which was supposed to take a few weeks, stretched to six months. Worse, the company claimed to use Hardie products but didn’t, leading to a lawsuit. The customer discovered that the company’s insurance did not cover defective work or incorrect products. They could only recover a $6,000 bond which was carried by the contractor, which was insignificant compared to their legal expenses. The lesson here is clear: don’t always go for the cheapest bid. It’s often wiser to find a middle ground, ensuring you receive quality service without excessive hidden costs and potential lawsuits.

6. New Companies Badmouthing Veteran Companies:

In today’s evolving construction market, it’s important to be aware of certain tactics used by new or less established companies trying to make a name for themselves. One of the most common strategies they employ is badmouthing established businesses, spreading false or exaggerated claims in an attempt to make themselves appear more credible.

When you encounter a company or individual who criticizes a reputable business, often claiming things like “I used to work for them, and they treat employees terribly,” or “This company is trying to take us down because we’re growing,” it’s essential to view these statements with skepticism. The truth is, people who resort to these kinds of tactics typically lack strong ethical foundations. They might be trying to manipulate perceptions and create doubt around trusted names to make themselves look more appealing to potential customers or employees.

Moreover, these individuals or companies will often play the victim card, trying to cast themselves as the underdog or the wronged party, hoping to stir up emotions and gain sympathy. They know that by creating conflict and drama, they can manipulate opinions and draw attention to their own business, even if they don’t have the experience or track record to back it up.

It’s a red flag when a company actively works to tear down others rather than build up their own reputation with honest work and integrity. Always be cautious when a competitor or newcomer tries to tarnish the image of a long-standing business. Companies that resort to these dirty tactics likely don’t have the knowledge, skills, or good reputation to succeed based on merit alone.

For us in the industry, maintaining high ethical standards is critical. We should always be vigilant, question the motivations behind negative claims, and remember that reputation and honesty are the true cornerstones of long-term success.

7. Being licensed does NOT mean legitimacy or experience: Having a license doesn’t necessarily equate to expertise or reliability. In Washington state, acquiring a contractor’s license simply involves paying a fee, obtaining a bond, and securing insurance, totaling around $65 for licensing, $300 annually for a bond, and $100 monthly for general liability insurance. Unlike states like California or Hawaii, Washington doesn’t mandate prior experience. In California, for instance, a stringent process demands four years of experience, rigorous exams, credit and background checks before granting a license. In contrast, Washington doesn’t require testing or prior experience, leading to exploitation of this regulatory gap

8.Don’t Be Fooled by Online Appearances – Do Your Research!

Just because a company appears multiple times on a search results page—through ads, Google My Business listings, or dozens of reviews—does not mean they are legitimate or experienced. Before trusting their claims, take a closer look at their oldest review. This is often the best indicator of how long they have actually been in business. If the oldest review is only a year or two old, yet they claim decades of experience, that’s a red flag.

Another key sign of a deceptive company is a website filled with meaningless content, such as useless blogs, run-on sentences, or information that doesn’t quite make sense. This is often a result of black hat SEO tactics, a marketing strategy used to manipulate search rankings by flooding the internet with low-quality pages. Many lead generation companies use these tricks to make their business appear more established than it really is.

Additionally, just because a company holds a state license—such as in Washington—does not mean they are truly qualified to do the work. Would you trust a high school kid to rewire your home just because they have a basic certification? The same logic applies when hiring an inexperienced company that relies on aggressive online marketing rather than real expertise.

Web Presence ≠ Legitimacy

A strong online presence does not automatically make a company trustworthy. In today’s digital world, appearances can be deceiving. Many businesses pay marketing firms to boost their rankings on Google and Bing, making them seem more established than they actually are. Just because a company has glowing reviews, paid advertisements, or claims to have been in business for years doesn’t mean they are ethical or experienced.

Before hiring a contractor, do your research. Verify their history, check for a real office location, and look beyond flashy marketing. In a scam-filled society, due diligence is the best way to protect yourself from inexperienced and unqualified businesses.

9. Receiving Unsolicited Calls: If you find yourself receiving unsolicited calls from companies you haven’t contacted directly, chances are your information was obtained through a lead generation form, and then sold to other entities. It’s advisable to only engage with established and reputable companies boasting 10-30 years of experience.

10. Warranty is Key: A warranty is the key to feeling confident in your choice of contractor. Companies that offer very limited warranties, often just 1-2 years, typically do not want to be held accountable for their work. Some companies might be deceptive, offering long warranties of 10 years or more, despite only being in business for 1-2 years. Always ask how long a company has been in business when discussing a warranty. The warranty is the best indicator of a company’s commitment to their work and their customers.

11. Geographical Presence and Physical Office:

When selecting a contractor for your project, it’s crucial to take steps to validate their legitimacy and ensure you’re dealing with a credible business. One effective way to do this is by scheduling an appointment to meet the contractor in person at their physical office. This offers you a valuable opportunity to confirm their business presence and get a better sense of how they operate.

Start by asking if the contractor has a showroom or office where you can meet them face-to-face. A reputable company with a legitimate business will have a physical space where you can interact with their team, view their products or services, and discuss your project in detail. It’s also a good idea to inquire how many people are employed at the company. A company that’s well-established will typically have a staff to handle various aspects of the business, from customer service to project management. If a company is hesitant to answer these basic questions, it’s a sign that they might not be as reliable as they appear.

Location is another critical factor. Verify the geographic location of their office, as having a physical presence in a known location can lend credibility. Some companies try to hide behind virtual addresses or operate from residential properties or post office boxes. This is a common tactic used by lead generation companies or firms that don’t have a true office. They might list a P.O. box or a suite number in their address, which could be a red flag.

To be extra cautious, take the time to verify the office address. A quick search on Google Maps can help you confirm whether the business actually exists at the listed location. If you’re still unsure, consider doing a drive-by of the listed address to check for yourself. Many lead generation companies, for example, use random warehouses or storage units as a false address, hoping to trick customers into thinking they have an actual, professional office.

By taking these extra steps, you’re not just protecting yourself from potential scams or unreliable contractors—you’re ensuring that the business you choose is credible, experienced, and committed to delivering quality work. Your home is your most valuable asset, so it’s essential to work with a contractor that you can trust, and verifying their legitimacy is the first step in the right direction.

12. Online Credibility and Transparency (using Better Business Bureau):

Experience Is Everything – Don’t Be Fooled by Online Appearances

When hiring a contractor, experience is the only thing that truly matters. A company can have a flashy website, paid ads, and hundreds of online reviews, but none of that guarantees they have the skills to do the job right. Only years of hands-on experience provide the expertise needed to avoid costly mistakes and ensure quality workmanship.

Be Cautious with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

While the BBB may seem like a useful tool for checking a company’s reputation, it has serious flaws. Unlike Google or Yelp, where negative reviews are harder to remove, BBB allows complaints to be appealed and even removed through direct communication with a live representative. This means a company with unresolved issues can manipulate their rating by disputing complaints and having them disappear over time.

Additionally, the BBB accreditation sticker can be misleading. Many consumers assume it means a company has been vetted or audited for ethical practices, but the BBB does not conduct audits or verify that accredited businesses operate professionally or honestly. Even if a business is reported for fraudulent activity, there is no department that actively investigates or confirms violations. Accreditation simply means the business paid a fee to be listed as “trusted,” making it more of a marketing tool than a true indicator of credibility.

However, the BBB does provide some useful insights, such as revealing the owner’s name and company history. If a company lacks an A+ rating or accreditation, it often means one of two things:

1. They have only been in business for a few years or less.
2. They have unresolved or recently closed complaints that could indicate poor customer service or subpar workmanship.

Trust Experience, Not Just Reviews or Ratings

A strong web presence, good reviews, and BBB accreditation do not guarantee quality or integrity. What truly matters is experience. A company with a long track record of successful projects has already overcome the challenges that new businesses are just beginning to face. When hiring a contractor, don’t just look at online ratings—verify how long they’ve been in business, ask for proof of past work, and meet them in person.

In the end, experience is the only thing that ensures quality, reliability, and peace of mind.

13. Fabricating Accomplishments or affiliations: It may seem improbable, but there are instances where companies or entities falsely take credit for the work of others. For example, they might subcontract work and then present it as their own achievement. They could also attempt to leverage the reputation of a prominent local company by falsely claiming affiliation or disparaging that brand to gain business. Some may even fabricate stories to undermine competitors. When encountering such claims of association or insider knowledge, it’s prudent to question the integrity of the source and remind them of the unprofessional nature of such behavior.

14. Referrals/Reviews: Unfortunately, we live in a world where people can be very dishonest. So its very important to not just trust reviews but ask for addresses, emails and phone numbers as references to see the company has actually done work. We recommend a minimum of 5-10 verified addressed to insure your project is protected. Some have even gone as far as to fabricating their reviews by asking family members, friends or marketing agencies to create fake reviews for them. Deciphering the difference between a real and fake review can be tricky but we suggest checking other sources such as; Nextdoor, guild quality, networx, yelp, Houzz, Angi, BBB, etc. A real customer will never leave reviews on 3-4 different websites. This is the first redflag that these reviews are not real. One indicator of a fake review is a suspicious username, often identifiable at a glance. It’s essential to be cautious, particularly with new companies, as a significant portion of their reviews—around 80-90%—may be from family or friends aiming to bolster their reputation. 

15. Fabrication of Credibility: This practice is particularly intriguing and unfortunately quite prevalent in today’s digital age. Many companies seek to enhance their credibility by creating numerous online profiles across various platforms such as Houzz, Networx, Thumbtack, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and more. They often resort to duplicating their competitor’s content and business strategies, including the software they utilize (such as the Hover 3D Visualization Tool) and the tools for estimating and invoicing. They will even host links all over their websites to reputable companies and have logos of many different vendors that they hold no partnership or relationship with to earn trust and credibility. They will often times steal colors, logos and styles of similar companies and rip off their brand and image to try to piggyback off of their success. 

Moreover, they may acquire credentials, such as BBB ratings, certifications, or preferred statuses, in an attempt to emulate the success of local reputable companies. Additionally, some companies claim to offer financing options, yet they often collaborate with obscure third-party vendors who do not actually provide in-house financing but instead seek referrals from local businesses to bolster their own operations.

16. Real in-house financing VS 3rd party referrals: It’s important to note that legitimate in-house financing typically requires stringent qualifications, including several years of established business operations, solid financial stability, and significant revenue generation (in the millions). Mere claims of offering financing do not necessarily indicate the availability of genuine home improvement financing. Legitimate financing options such as GreenSky, Foundation, and Upgrade typically have robust requirements and direct relationships with reputable contractors, ensuring transparency and reliability in financing arrangements. There are dozens of online 3rd party “financing companies” that work similar to lending tree. You put in a request and they sell your data to multiple companies. The approval rate with 3rd party financing companies is less than 10%

17. Sales tactics & Approach: In contemporary business practices, many enterprises – both real companies and lead generation entities – employ assertive sales techniques. They train their sales representatives to secure a sale in a single interaction, often employing high-pressure tactics. These strategies may involve enticing prospects with special offers such as contractor rates or significant discounts. Initial price quotes are typically inflated, with subsequent reductions, sometimes up to 50-60%, reminiscent of tactics employed in the automotive sales industry. Additionally, representatives may resort to consulting a fictitious supervisor to justify offering purportedly discounted rates due to alleged overstock or similar circumstances. These sales professionals tend to be very young and assertive demeanor but often lack substantive industry experience. Consequently, when confronted with genuine project-related challenges, their ability to provide meaningful assistance is often limited.

18. Local Identity vs. Corporate Impersonality: The distinction between a local business and a faceless corporate entity holds significant importance. Opting for a business with a local presence ensures a personal touch and a vested interest in the community. Make sure the company has a face to their business. Always ask to talk to the owner when you are about to spend thousands of dollars, you will often learn that the sales person is the owner and was not transparent with you about it. If the owner is the one doing estimates that means they likely do not have an office or place of business other than a name on a door. You will get exactly what you pay for! 

19. Blogs/Ai Generated Content: In the construction industry, a website serves as a pivotal tool for informing and engaging potential customers about a company’s services, expertise, and values. It’s a platform where companies showcase their projects, share valuable insights, and build trust with visitors. However, some websites deviate from this purpose and prioritize driving traffic over genuine engagement.

These websites often employ tactics to manipulate search engine algorithms, aiming to artificially boost their rankings. One common tactic is flooding the site with a plethora of articles, often of low quality and little substance. These articles are typically churned out in large volumes and may lack authenticity or relevance to the company’s actual services. Additionally, such websites may feature an abundance of embedded links and AI-generated photos, designed to create an illusion of legitimacy and activity.

However, upon closer inspection, these telltale signs often reveal the true nature of these websites: they are not genuine construction companies but rather lead generation entities. Their primary objective is not to provide valuable information or services but to capture leads and sell them to actual contractors or service providers. They exploit loopholes in search engine algorithms to attract traffic, often at the expense of user experience and authenticity.

For customers navigating the digital landscape, it’s essential to discern between genuine construction companies committed to quality and service and these lead generation entities focused solely on driving traffic for profit. An authentic company’s website will reflect its values, showcase its projects and expertise, and prioritize user experience over manipulative tactics.

We are dedicated to assisting you in navigating through these factors, enabling you to make an informed decision when selecting a company for your home-related needs.
