🚨 Homeowners — watch this BEFORE you ever hire a contractor 😱 Electrician shows up… drills once… and goes straight through the freezer. (Okay, I’ll admit — as a contractor I almost laughed… until I pictured the repair bill 😂❄️) As a contractor myself, I don’t find any humor in this — this is exactly why we need to be careful. Bringing a contractor into our homes is a big step and shouldn’t be taken lightly. The first question we should ask is whether they are insured and with whom. We shouldn’t just gloss over this important part — ask for a list of references and do some due diligence during the selection process. We should have a good understanding of exactly what they’re doing and how they plan on executing it. If they are working blind and alone in this situation, offer assistance — and if you’re uncomfortable participating, suggest they get a helper before work begins. Protect your home. Protect your wallet. Don’t let this happen to you.

Pulled vanity out of my bathroom - contractor who flipped my house too shortcuts (so frustrating) (1) drywall finish coat not installed/wall not painted (2) stained wood floor around the vanity #ugh #contractorfail
