10 Things To Know Before Hiring A Contractor
You always hear the nightmare stories of contractors taking advantage of the consumer, but you almost never hear the true story.

Furthermore, most consumers don’t know what a good contract is and end up signing incomplete contracts that are missing a lot of information whether intentional or not. So when this extra work arises, the contractor will charge you for it and the fight begins…
