Unfortunately, not all home remodeling and renovation contractors offer the premium service you find with Custom Homes Building and Remodeling. When dealing with a problem contractor, it’s essential to protect yourself and your assets. While it sounds simple, the first step is to fire the contractor. Someone who is not showing up on time or not completing quality work costs you time and money.
If the contractor you have hired is licensed (and we highly recommend only hiring licensed contractors), file a complaint with the licensing board. Detail exactly what has happened before, during, and after hiring and firing the contractor. Contractors must maintain good standing with licensing boards, so if a dispute is reported, he or she must rectify the complaints. You can also force a bad contractor into mediation before filing a claim in small claim’s court if the project is below a specific price point. If mediation does not work and the amount spent does not qualify for small claim’s court, pursue legal action through an attorney.
Finally, one of the most effective strategies to deal with a bad contractor is to post public reviews. Contractors rely heavily on referrals and reviews. A bad review forces the contractor to settle and rectify any disputes to address these reviews that live online and can damage a contractor’s reputation. It’s essential to protect yourself and take action if you’ve been exposed to a bad contractor.
