Contractor Nightmares
When Remodelling or Renovating, Empower Yourself
The truth is that remodelling projects rarely go the way we want them to – and hardly ever do it on our exact schedule, budget, and manner. If everything always came up ‘roses’, would we have the need for shows like Spike’s ‘Catch A Contractor‘?
As a customer of any kind of a contractor – regardless of electrical, general, or even a handyman – make sure you educate yourself as a consumer on what to look for, the right questions to ask, and how to know when you’ve chosen the right contractor. If you are getting ready to start collecting estimates from contractors, looking to sign a contract with one, or even just trying to get out of your own contractor nightmare, consider taking advantage of any of these vital articles:
