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.
