BEWARE: Top Contractor Scams

 “Well, he seemed legit” is what many homeowners end up saying after realizing they’re out the $1,500 they handed over “for materials” and stuck with a job barely done.

While most contractors are honest, hardworking professionals, a few bad apples can spoil it for everyone. Here are five ways to identify if a contractor could be scamming you, and how to protect yourself:

Contractor Scams

Scam 1: I’ll Need the Money Up Front

Scam 2: Take My Word For It

Scam 3: I Don’t Need to Pull a Permit

Scam 4: We Ran Into Unforeseen Problems

 Scam 5: I’ve Got Extra Materials I Can Sell You Cheap

 Learn how to protect yourself from these scams here.

Springtime Power Washing

If you want to give your home more curb appeal, one great way to start is by giving the exterior a thorough cleaning. An exterior that sparkles in the sun can make a world of difference. But if you’re about to reach for a pressure washer, stop right there. Not all surfaces can handle the intense spray of a pressure washer; some, like brick, can be damaged by the wrong tools. Here you’ll find out which method is best for your home, along with more know-how you’ll need to get the job done right.

You’ll learn how to prepare to pressure wash – Soap? Which nozzle? – pressure washing safety, and how to pressure wash your house. Learn more here!
