BefOre you start on any home repairs or renovations,
you should do some careful thinking. Decide
exactly what you want done. Draw up an overall plan.
Anddo a little digging around to find out all
you can about potential contractors for your job.
A few precautions will eliminate some common
problems:
r Don't be talked into having work done just because
the rest of the neighbourhood is doing it or
because the price is presented as bargain basement.
r If the project is a major one, seek professional
advice (i.e. architects or engineers) before the work
is started.
(Ask for estimates from at least three reliable firms.
r When you decide to sign a contract, find out
first who does the actual work.
3 Insist that all details be written into the estimate - the
type and amount of work to be done, total cost, date
of completion and any extras.
3 If a large amount of money is involved, have a lawyer
go over the contract before you sign it. Don't
give more than 10 percent as a downyayment.
3 Never sign a completion certificate until the work
has been done to your satisfaction.
3 Hold back. 15 percent of the final payment for 37
days after the work is completed. That way, if
the contractor or subcontractor does not pay for
materials, you are protected from liability under
