Cowboy. Builders. 🤠

Two words I hear every time when talking to future renovators about their top worries about starting a project. 

So this weeks’ episode is here to help with that, it promises to arm you with the knowledge to identify those sneaky red flags that could save you from costly and frustrating renovation disasters. 

Inside I’ll cover 7 Red Flags you should have your eyes wide open to before hiring a contractor or builder. Including: 

1. Lack of Proper Licensing and Insurance
2. Lack of Detail On Quote Or Project Spec
3. Reluctant To Provide A Contract
4. Unable To Provide Any References
5. Unusually Low Bid
6. Poor Communication and Unresponsiveness
7. Insists On A Large Upfront Payment

From the importance of detailed quotes to trusting your gut, I cover it all. I’ve heard some sad and very upsetting stories over the years on this topic so this episode has always been in the making – please listen or revisit it before you start any reno project.
