Contractors should be paid “one third”. One third at time of signed contract one third, one third to purchase materials & one third upon completeion of contract.
My sister in law in PA fell for this situation & the contractor barely start the job. Therefore a lot of money lost & brother build himself. Check out contractors info 1st then proceed. Unfortunately some contractors will talk women over. I know from experience.
I cannot stand a fraudster. Glad they caught this guy.
and i…… oop
Looks like a good candidate for Century City Council!
Lesson learned and should be taught over and over again…Never pay before the job is completed, regardless!
