Have you heard those stories where a contractor wreaks havoc on someone’s home and vanishes with their hard-earned cash before finishing the project? I think we all have, and it’s never pretty.
Let me share a story about a customer who called us after their project went wrong. They decided to hire a local handyman to replace a ceiling fan, hoping to save $100 in the process.
