By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
At this time of year, many
homeowners are taking a
look at their properties with
a view to carrying out
necessary repairs, making
improvements and, perhaps
re-stocking their gardens.
However, as the Minister of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations has warned, con-
sumers should beware of fly-
by-night operators.
Frank Drea said that the
Consumer Services office
receive many complaints
about driveway pavers, pool
installers, renovators,
roofers and other home im-
provement contractors
every spring. "Most of the
people in this business are,
honest and competent" said
Mr. Drea, "but there are a
few bad apples who do poor
jobs or do not finish what
they start and disappear
before the consumer can do
anything about it."
Many complaints involve
contractors who did not
complete the work as agreed
in the contract. In one in-
stance a home renovator
tore a kitchen apart and then
disappeared with the pay-
ment.
Customers should be able
to avoid such incidents by
following these guidelines:
Have,a firm idea of what
you want done before works
begins. Changing your mind
half way through can be
very costly.
- Deal with businesses which
have earned good
reputations in the communi-
ty. Call your local Better
Business Bureau or
Chamber of Commerce
about this.
- Make sure any construc-
tion conforms to local by-
laws. If you are adding
anything permanent to your
home, you will have to get a
building permit from City
Hall. This is NOT the con-
tractor's responsibility.
- Get at least three written
estimates providing a detail-
ed list of all work to be done,
including clean-up.
- Ask the contractor for the
names and addresses of peo-
ple for whom he has recent-
ly completed work and
check to see if these people
are satisfied,
- Don't pay more than 10%
down as a deposit.
- Under the Mechanics Lien
Act you are required to
withhold 15 percent of the
total amount of the contract
for 37 days after completion
of the job. This protects you
if the contractor fails to pay
the subcontractor or
employees. The full amount
should not be paid until the
job has been completed to
your satisfaction.
Get warranty details in
writing. Remember a
warranty is only good as the
company backing it.
- Get starting and comple-
tion dates in writing. You
will not be happy if, for in-
stance, your new swimming
pool is not completed until
September.
In addition to these
general points, consumers
should follow this advice
when dealing with contrac-
tors in the following fields,
DRIVEWAY PAVERS
Be wary. of contractors
who say they are in the
neighbourhood only for the
day and offer bargain
prices.
- Remember that the con-
tractor giving the cheapest
estimate will not necessari-
ly do the best job.
- Remember, once you have
signed the contract it is a
legal and binding document.
"'Make sure the contract
specifies all work to be done
before you sign.
- When the contractor quotes
the asphalt depth, make
sure he is referring to com-
pacted asphalt, About two
inches of compatted asphalt
is normal,
ROOFERS
- Pay a reputable roofer for
an inspection to determine
whether you need a new roof
or repairs,
- Remember that a long-
term warranty can be
worthless if the company
does not survive as long as
the warranty applies.
- Make sure the estimate in-
cludes all costs which may
include stripping old
shingles, clean-up and
carpentry work.
The Ministry offers ser-
vices to assist consumers. In
addition to handling com-
plaints at the consumer ser-
vice offices, free material
on home repairs, insulation,
consumer protection, mail-
order, phony charities and
many related areas is
available. Contact Con-
sumer Information Centre,
Ministry of Consumer and
Commercial Relations, 55

collect calls are accepted.

It's wonderful to know that

has its perils! Take care in
