Resources for Homeowners - Links & Who to Call

For many people, their home is their most valuable financial asset. It is important to be cautious when hiring someone to work on your home. Just because a home improvement company advertises in the phonebook, newspapers, or on television and radio commercials does not mean the contractor has a high quality of workmanship. Nor does it necessarily mean they are licensed contractors.
