Partnering With Professionals

In today's competitive marketplace, there are many options for the consumer. The consumer can buy products directly from home centers or other warehouse-type outlets. In these cases, consumers may think they are getting a better price. However, consumers need to be aware of some of the hidden costs of purchasing in this way.

  1. The actual product they are purchasing is, in many ways, designed for the retail market and may not have the quality that is in the Professional Products that the Professional Contractor buys from Redlon & Johnson.
  2. The local Contractor that is asked to install a product supplied by a home center will, in many cases, charge a different hourly rate for retail type products because the installation can take longer.
  3. The consumer bears the burden of the warranty for these products. The Contractor will not warranty the product. If for some reason the product fails, the consumer will have to pay to have it taken out and re-installed. In many cases, the consumer will pay considerably more than whatever perceived savings they felt they got from buying the product at the home center or warehouse outlet.

A better alternative to purchasing products from home centers or other outlets is for consumers to "Partner with Professionals." This means that consumers would work with a Licensed Plumbing and Heating Contractor and with Redlon & Johnson.
