Before entering into any agreement for home improvements, it is critical for consumers to review the complaint history of a contractor. Also, ask family, friends, and co-workers whom they would recommend or avoid. Consider at least three different businesses and also get three references from each business. Try to get one or two references from several years ago, to get a better idea of quality of materials and follow up service provided. If references will allow it, go see the contractor's work in person.
Reputable contractors enhance the beauty and value of a home.
Unscrupulous contractors cost you money or cause extensive damage to your home. Shop and compare before making a commitment. The Bureau of Consumer Protection provides information and tips for dealing with home improvement contractors. All rights reserved.
