Before You Hire a Contractor: Protect Your Money From the First Quote to the Final Payment - Softcover
Synopsis
There's one rule that prevents almost every contractor disaster — and most homeowners learn it only after the money is already gone.
Hiring a contractor feels like a leap of faith. Vague estimates, confusing payment demands, and a written contract that somehow never gets signed until the crew is already tearing out your kitchen. This book replaces that guesswork with a step-by-step system for vetting, contracting, paying, and managing any contractor safely, from a small repair to a full renovation.
Inside, you'll find:
- A 45-minute screening process for verifying license, insurance, and references before you ever discuss price
- Milestone payment schedules for five project sizes, from an $800 emergency repair to a $120,000 remodel
- Word-for-word scripts for the deposit request, the early-payment plea, and the "cash discount" offer
- A sample change order, a sample confirmation email, and an 11-point written contract checklist
- Plain guidance on lien waivers and how to file a state licensing board complaint if things go wrong
- A one-page, 15-step workflow you can photocopy and reuse on every future home project
This book is not a design or decorating guide, and it won't teach you how to swing a hammer. It's a homeowner's operating manual for the business side of hiring — the part almost no one else teaches, and the part that decides whether your project stays on budget.
If you're about to request a bid, sign a contract, or hand over a deposit, read this first.
