Contractor
Check List
 We
are concerned about the growing number of consumer complaints against
home improvement contractors. As a result of many of the "Fly By
Nights" who open up shop during the season and close down and
disappear when the peak is over with, many legitimate contractors are
being left with having to deal with an increase in suspicion by property
owners who have been dealt with unfairly in the past.
We understand the vulnerable
position that the property owner finds themselves in and we want to help
stop the deceit and irresponsibility that has invaded the home
improvement business.
In order to assist you in obtaining
the best possible service with the least chance of running into problems
