EPISODE 52: Jody Costello was eager to start a two-story addition on her 1940s home that would include an owner's suite and upper deck. But she quickly learned hiring the wrong contractor for the job can be a costly mistake.

Costello is now the creator of the website "Contractors From Hell," where she helps homeowners remodel smart. Listen to her story and tips so that you never have to face a home remodeling nightmare, like she once did.
