๐ฉ Red Flags When Hiring a Contractor ๐ฉ
When it comes to your home, trust matters. Unfortunately, not every contractor plays by the rules. Here are some major warning signs to look out for ๐
โ Asking for full payment upfront or cash only
Legitimate contractors typically ask for a 30-50% deposit โ not the full amount before work begins.
โ No written contract
Always get the details in writing! Verbal promises donโt protect you.
โ Canโt show proof of insurance or licensing
Protect yourself โ ask to see it! A reputable contractor will gladly provide it.
โ Unusually low bids
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Cheap work often costs more in the long run.
โ Immediate availability
If they can start tomorrow there is probably a reason.
โ Frequent name changes
Some contractors rebrand to escape bad reviews or legal trouble. Check their history.
โ High-pressure sales tactics
No professional should rush you into signing a contract.
โ No references or portfolio
Quality work speaks for itself โ ask to see examples or talk to past clients.
