There’s a reason why many contractors have a shady reputation… and why we don’t. Shady contractors will keep these 5️⃣ secrets from you:
🪵 Material Swapping 🪵
Shady contractors might tell you they’re installing one thing, and actually install something cheaper — all to save on their own bottom dollar. They just hope you won’t notice.
🔨”His” Team🔨
Many contractors rely on subcontracting teams to make the work happen — so while you’re working with a top-rated pro, he’s paying a lower-rated crew to get it all done.
🚫Permitting Shortcuts🚫
Some contractors will act like a permit is optional to finish the job — but really, all it does is put the both of you in huge danger. In some cases, the government could even demand that the work is un-done, or throw fines at the company itself.
📆Timeline Travels📆
A tale as old as time: you get a 4-week turnaround promise, but 4 weeks have come and gone and there are still guys working on your roof. Some contractors would rather give you a quicker quote to lock you into a contract, then quietly walk it back when the delays show up.
⏳Warranty Tea⌛️
Some contractors might sell you on a renovation with the promise of a shiny warranty to seal the deal — but leave out all of the messy details around how to make sure it lasts.
At THE GREEN PLUG | Home Improvement & Energy Efficiency, we don’t keep secrets. We tell you the truth upfront — because we’d rather be honest & still get you with a system you love, than lie to get the deal closed. 💚👷
