The progress Alberta Sound Exteriors has made is truly remarkable when you consider their greatest challenge. “The exterior roofing, siding and framing industry continues to be an unspecified trade. If you’re a good salesman, you can create a false sense of trust,” admits Anderson. “When we are looking for workers, we get a lot people that are unqualified, but because there are no industry guidelines, they come to us with the impression that they are God’s gift to siding! We constantly fight between finding good, qualified installers and having the public realize that not just anyone can do this job. “Right now we are considered ‘unskilled’ labour, and that designation creates a false sense of qualification. Through the lack of government and insurance companies’ due diligence, there is an unfortunate cycle of poor workmanship. Anyone can slap a name on the side of a truck and go into the business. This is where the perception of the ‘bad contractor’ comes from.” Both Morris and Ransom agree that a big priority is only hiring workers who can do the job properly, safely, and fit in with the company’s teamwork culture. “I am quick to let prospective workers know if they are not qualified to our standards. As a result, the installers we do have are very skilled at what they do,” says Morris. “Even when we have lots of projects on the go and are getting hounded to send someone quickly to site, we don’t send just anyone. We always focus on quality first. We strive for 100 per cent customer satisfaction and don’t want to have any unhappy customers in the end. We do what it takes to make and do everything right.”
