Things a Homeowner Won't Tell a Contractor - Common Courtesy - I've
been a contractor in the state of California for over 20 years and there
are some things that a homeowner won't tell a contractor. These are a
few things that a contractor might want to hear, but a reluctant
homeowner, might have second thoughts telling their contractors how they
really feel.
How to Deal with a Contractor That Constantly Lies to You - One of
the biggest problems with any relationship in business is dishonesty. I
have dealt with my fair share of dishonest people, including my ex-wife.
There is nothing worse than someone lying to you or trying to convince
you that something else is true.
Problems with Hiring Contractors Who Don't Speak Your Language - I
don't know how to say this any other way. If you don't speak the same
language as your contractor, you're going to have problems and these
problems aren't going to be small problems either. If your contractor
doesn't speak the same language as you, you should hire them.
How
to Hire The Cheapest Remodeling Contractor in Your Community - The
best way to find a cheap contractor is to call as many of them as you
can and ask them to come over to your house to give you an estimate. If
you're only interested in hiring the cheapest contractor, I would like
to give you a few pointers on how you can find them.
You
Should Always Listen to Your Water Damage Contractor - If you're a
contractor or a homeowner who has hired contractors, there's a good
chance that you will be able to relate to the things that you're about
to hear. Every once in a while, people make mistakes, but making them
right is the difference between good contractors and bad ones.
My Deck
Collapsed Because I Hired the Wrong Contractor - If you're looking
for a little bit of advice, you've came to the right place. If you're
looking for some answers to some difficult questions about hiring the
wrong contractor, you’re in the right place. Let's get started and don't
ever let this happen to you again.
Read This It Could Change Your Opinion about General Contractors - I
would like to start out by saying, that I have been a General Building
Contractor for quite some time now. I'm not the type of General Building
Contractor who does large projects and works in an office most of the
time.
You're Tired
of Your Contractor and Now It's Time to Take Him to Court - If
you're having problems with your contractor and you're not getting
anywhere, it's probably time to take them to court. I don't advise this,
simply because it is a timely process that could take months and
sometimes years.
Difficult Home Remodeling Contractors Creates Problems for Homeowner
- You've got your three bids and you've examined the contracts. Now it's
time to make the decision about which one to hire. You hire the
contractor that you truly believe you can work well with and you know
that they gave you a reasonable price.
Don't Fall
in Love with the First Contractor - Always Get Three Estimates - If
I was to guess, I would imagine that more than 75% of everyone that I
work for, never even gets another bid or estimate. Since I am not the
kind of person who wants to take advantage of my customers, I don't
really find anything wrong with this.
Never
Give Your Contractor Their Final Payment until You're Happy with the
Project - It doesn't seem to happen as often as it used to, but
every once in a while I would get a call from a homeowner, about a job
that wasn't completed and they had given the contractor all of their
money.
