The best way to avoid any issues is to thoroughly research
prospective contractors. Narrow your investigation to organizations that have
positive word of mouth along with Better Business Bureau reviews. Be sure
contractors are fully insured, licensed, and have documentation through your
city. Take time to contact references. If you do find yourself in an unsettling
situation with a person you have hired consider using the following tips:
·
Document Everything! Keep logs of conversations
but try to do as much communicating via email as possible thereby having a
written record of all contact.
·
Deal with the Appropriate Individual. If the
contractor is the problem, call the office.
·
File a Complaint with the States Attorney
General. The attorney general will try to mediate the problem between homeowner
and contractor.
