In renovations, a bait and switch are very easy to do. There as so many different materials and products that go into a project. If your contractor decides to substitute something with a lower-priced alternative, how are you to know?

And what about when the guy that sells himself as a reputable contractor, and then, once the contract is signed, you never see him again because he was just a salesman and you find yourself dealing with someone else entirely?

These bait and switches happen all the time, unfortunately. There is another, even more, subtle one that I heard from an unhappy homeowner; her contractor quoted an allowance for plumbing fixtures for her project that turned out to be nowhere near enough to buy the level of quality he implied was possible.

All these bait and switches have a common characteristic; They leave you with some kind of expectation during the contract negotiations that the contractor knows won’t be met in the construction.

Mike says it best!

If you see any water stains on your walls or ceiling address them immediately. Water stains mean water is penetrating the interior structure of your home—and there’s enough there that it’s starting to seep through the drywall. Where there is moisture there is a very high chance for mould to grow, and once you’ve got mould, you’ve got a serious problem.

This bathroom looked ok until we got started and found major rot. While the before images don't look all that bad, the amount of water damage was so bad that even the floor joists were compromised. Every time this bathtub was filled, it put even more strain on a very compromised floor. Call us today to have your home inspected. Early detection can save you thousands!

Wrapping up the Landsdowne house this week. Watch Century 21 for the listing. This was a fun and challenging build. Mostly it was a very creative build.

'We’ve always been big fans of the downtown and have felt strongly about it being the core of the city, so it was always our intention to return and this is an opportunity that lends itself perfectly'
