The Reason for Botched Home Improvement Job May be the Contractor’s Estimate
In our Replay today, Kevin grills a builder local to our area on the proper
and improper installation of building products. The Horror Story is about a
homeowner who gave a contractor one-half of the estimated cost of
building a shed. The contractor hasn’t been seen since. The lesson:
beware contractors seeking excessive front money. When a home
improvement project goes bad, it often tracks back to a lack of knowledge
or due diligence in selecting a contractor – and a lack of detail on the
project estimate/agreement. In our Feature today, Kevin and Ron offer a
refresher course on line items that should be in all home improvement
contracts, as well as points that should be specific to specific projects...say
windows and siding. Listening to this feature could save you a lot of money
and aggravation in home improvement projects.
