Watch
those
sharpies
BY
JACK RIDDELL,
M.P.P.
At this time of year,
Many homeowners are
taking a loots -at their -
properties with a view to
-4' carrying out necessary
repairs, making im-
provements and, perhaps
re -stocking their gar-
dens. However, as the
Minister of Consumer
and Commercial
Relations has warned,
consumers should
beware of fly-by-night
operators.
Frank Drea said that
"the Consumer Services
Office receives many
complaints about
driveway pavers, pool
installers, renovators,
roofers and other home
improvement contractors
every spring.
"Most off 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 in-
volve contractors who, did
not complete the work as
agreed in the contract. In
one instance a home
renovator tore a kitchen
apart and then disap-
peared with the payment.
Customers should be
able to avoid such. in-
cidents by following these
guidelines: -
Have a firm idea df
what you want done
before work begins.
Changing your mind half
way through can be very
costly.
' Deal with businesses
which have earned good
reputations in the
community. , Call your
local Better Business
Bureau or Chamber of
Commerce about this.
Make sure - any- con-
struction conforms to
local by-laws. If you are
adding anything per-
manent to your home,
you will have to get a
building permit from City
Hall. This is NOT the
contractor's respon-
sibility.
Get at least, tfiree
written estimates
providing a detailed list
of all work to ,be done,
including clean-up.
Ask the contractor for
the names and addresses
of people for whom he has
recently completed work
and check to see if these
people are satisfied.
Don't pay more than 10
percent 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 em-
ployees. The full amount
should not be paid until
the job has been com-
pleted to. your satisfac-
tion..
Get warranty details in
writing. Remember a
warranty is only good as •
the company backing it.
• Get starting and
completion dates in
writing. You will not be
happy if, for instance,
your new swimming pool
is not completed until
September.
• If a contract is in,
volved, make sure it
clearly specifies all work
to be done.
In addition to these
general points, con-
sumers should follow this
advice when dealing with
contractors 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
contractor giving the
cheapest estimate will
not necessarily do the
best job.
Remember, once you
have signed the contract
it is a legal and binding
document. Make sure the
contract specifies all
