Hiring the wrong contractor can cost more than just money. It can rob you of time, trust, and peace of mind. And if you want your next home improvement project to go smoothly, you need to know how to protect yourself from the biggest scams out there.
In this episode, I break down the top 5 scams homeowners need to avoid: door-to-door scams, storm chasers, high-pressure sales tactics, bait-and-switch materials, and shady practices around permits and licensing. I explain how these scams work, what red flags to watch for, and exactly what to say when a contractor tries to pull a fast one.
