Honest Contractors Are Scary - I've been working in the construction business for a long time and when I tell someone that I am a contractor, they often get a look on their face that tells me I'm not in a good business. Some people are a little more polite than others, but I often run into people who have hired contractors, only to find themselves amidst plenty of problems that they never even thought of or imagined were going to happen.

Keys to Solving Building Contractor Problems - Nobody in the construction business or anyone else wants to have problems, but they happen and the best thing that we can do is be prepared for them. Whether you're building a new home, remodeling an old one or simply using a contractor for simple home repairs, you need to prepare yourself for problems and anything else that could go wrong while a contractor is working on your home.

Why Doesn't My Contractor Show up When They Say They Will? - Well there could be quite a few things going on in your contractor's life, but most of the time, they are simply too busy to handle the work load that has been placed upon them.

Never Hire a Contractor That's Too Busy - A lot of people think that a contractor that's too busy, must be a good contractor. I'm not going to argue with that and I would even agree to that last statement. A busy contractor, is either going to be one of two things. He's either going to be one of the cheapest contractors in the area, or he's going to be one of the best.

My Contractor Wants $2000 As a Down Payment - Don't give it to them. I can't stress this enough and I'm going to say it again, don't give it to them. If you feel comfortable with the contractor, maybe there's something else that you can work out, some other way that you can get the job started, but that's a lot of money to give a contractor, especially if it's someone who you just met.
