If I ran an install shop, yes I would.

The best installers I worked with over my 10+ years in retail were NOT MECP certified.

that depends on the shop. only if his references are good. call em up and find out. is this guy from somewhere foriegn or is he a well known installer.

he might have bad habits and you have to retrain him to your way of thinking. if he is a seasoned installer, you might butt heads with him or not. can you take him in an arm wrestle.

id say yes to this question but only if his installion experience is proven or can be traced.

Check around with people he has worked with -- MECP is good, but not essential -- some of the best installers around have NOT done it.

hahaha. That is what I thought.

I agree that Certification would be a GOOD thing...BUT as of today there is very little to no weight behind MECP.

But now a few more question:
Mike, you are not at V's??
Shaugn: I do not think you would pay for the move out [img]smile.gif[/img]
Dereck: where are you working now.

And thanks for the "love" guys [img]smile.gif[/img]
