Contractors

When awarding bids, homeowners and local weatherization agencies need to know that the contractor has the fundamental knowledge required to complete the work and do it well.  Not all contractors who build houses understand current weatherization practices.  As more money is invested in weatherization work, you are ideally positioned to expand your business.  image

Professional Home Inspection Institute (PHII)
offers a Weatherization Contractor certification program that will improve the chances that your bid is selected on local weatherization projects. 
In fact, some local weatherization programs are requiring certification before they will allow contractors to participate in their competitive bid process.  Don't delay- begin your training today with the Weatherization Contractor Package or any of the individual courses listed below!
