9. Be sure to get q readable
copy of your contract.
10. Never sign a completion
certificate until you are certain
all the work has been done and
that it is done satisfactorily.
Here's final advice from United
States Attorney Leo S. Rover.
take precautions in advance
by carefully checking any COM
pany you deal with. If you be-
lieve criminal laws have been
violated. get in touch with the
United States Attorneys Once
Most home improvement COM
panies are. of course. perfectly
honest. But so many persons in
this field are INSCRIPTIONS and
dishonest that it's the better
part Of prudence to know exactly
with whom you are dealing be-
fore you sign a contract.
IF you're in doubt, consult
the Better Business Bureau, my
office or others In whom you
have confidence.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-31

2. Don't let anyone "high-
pressure" you or scare you into
signing any papers. Set reliable
advice before signing.
3. Unless you know his repu-
tation, beware Of anyone who
represents to you that your home
will be used for advertising pur-
poses. as model job. or as a
show house, and that for this
you will be given q special. low
price for home improvement
work.
4. Be sure that any guarantee
Is in writing in the contract, and
that it's clear and specific as to
its meaning and as to what viii
be done in the event Of trouble.
5. Be sure that anyone who
says he represents a certain
manufacturer actually is author
lied to do so. II his claim is bona
flde. he won't object to your
checking to find out whether he
is telling the truth.

THE selection Of a contractor
or dealer-and the acceptance OF
materials used and of work per-
formed-are your responsibility.
says FILA. Neither the FILA nor
the lending institution guaran-
tees the materials or workman
ship or inspects the work per-
formed"
Contract Should Be Clear
Z. Be sure the contract con-
tains proper specifications, such
as type and extent Of work:
when it's to be done or COM
Ipleted: areas; extras; descrip-
ton Of materials, such as quail
Iity. grade or name. weight. color,
style. etc.; total cost. finance
charges, etc. Be sure the things
you want are clearly specified.

could be as much as $500 mil
lion a year, officials of the AS
ISOLATION of Better Business
Bureaus estimate.
Your best defense from such
swindlers is to know the pitfalls
and beware of them. This
article will summarize some of
the precautions you can take.
Home improvement swindlers
rely q great deal on your credit
as q source Of obtaining money.
The two most common means
Of obtaining credit for home i'm
provements are:
/. A Federal Housing Admin
istration hom e = improvement
loan. This does not require
mortgaging your home. The Gov
eminent insures the lender
(bank, building and loan asso-
citation, etc. against loss. There
is a provision that the money
will not be paid until the home
owner certifies that the work
contracted for has been COM
pleted.
2. A promissory note. either
unsecured, or secured by q deed
of trust on your house.
Pitfalls to Avoid
Here are some Of the pitfalls
to avoid:
l. Don't let anyone rush you
into signing anything unless you
understand it perfectly. When
you decide to remodel or have
repairs done, know specifically
what you want. Better Business
Bureaus say: There's no better
rule than to call in an architect.
He knows how to estimate costs
and he knows reputable con-
tractors" FILA says: Deal only
with a reputable, established
contractor or dealer. Consult
your lending institution. Better
Business Bureau or Chamber of
Commerce, if in doubt"
2. When you sign a contract,
be sure 1t is properly drawn up
and provides for exactly what
you want done. Otherwise you
may be sorry. You may even
want to talk the whole thing
over with an attorney Better
Business Bureaus advise: Be
fore YOU sign any contract in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-31

volving thousands Of dollars. let
a lawyer look at it. You may save
a few dollars in lawyers fees by
ignoring him. but you may lose
a thousand dollars, too.
To that may be added the eau
ton that you should choose a
lawyer with care. The same
thing applies to choosing an ar
chitect. If you think. That's all
too much trouble" remember
this: If you don't take the
trouble to protect yourself. no
one else may do so either.
3. For any stable job Of work.
it may be advisable to get esti-
mates in writing from reputable
contractors you know. or that
your friends or neighbors know.
This will give you a general idea
about the probable range of cost.
Reputation Prime Factor
Remember. too. that the low
est bid is not the best in every
case. Much depends on the re-
putation of the contractor
Never patronize a contractor
unless you know his reputation. "
Better Business Bureaus suggest.
ASK him for the names Of
others he has worked for in your
area. Then check with these
people to find out how well they
were satisfied"
To this FILA adds: "Shun the
glib talker who offers you a cash
rebate or a bonus. or a commits
sion on the pretext that he plans
to use your house as a model.
Avoid the false lure Of the trial
purchase offer"
4. The cheapest and best way
to pay for home repair, mainte-
nance or remodeling jobs is out
of cash on hand, provided you
have the money and can afford
to spend it.
II you need work done and
don't have the money, try to get
the best possible credit terms.
Homes having an open-end
mortgage allowing loans TO be
made without second-trust. f.
Inancing make credit available at
relatively cheap cost.
Remember. it is costly to en-
.cumber your house with a trust
