For Better or Worse

Once you move into your new home, you will begin to dream about improvements that make it even more perfect for your family.  You will have visions of new features, colors, landscaping, and perhaps significant physical modifications.  Most of us, however, are not ready to tackle all of the work ourselves, even with the instruction received from the many wonderful TV shows. 

To bring our ideas to life, we turn to professionals, contractors, in whom we place our faith, and pay a significant amount of money, to change visions to realities.  There are many excellent contractors who have the expertise, and talent, to give us exactly what we want, or more.  However, we need to be careful because there are also individuals who will turn our dreams to nightmares, and empty our bank accounts as a result.

The information provided here is used as a guideline to help you find the right person for the job.  Many excellent contractors have read these pages, and endorse them, because they want to do a quality job at a reasonable rate.  They are true professionals, and worthy of our respect.  However, their reputations are tarnished by those who seek to take advantage of consumers. 

This is your responsibility.  If you make bad choices, it will cost you more money.  You can be sure that no government agency will help resolve the problem, and no attorney can give you back 100% of your investment.  Start out right, and you will have the results you desire.
