Are you planning a renovation? Stop. Put down the hammer and read this first. We’ve all heard the horror stories: the kitchen remodel that went $40,000 over budget, the contractor who went out for cigarettes and never came back, or the bathroom tile that started cracking three weeks after the check cleared. The truth is, the "Renovation Horror Story" isn't caused by bad luck. It's caused by a bad process. Written by the owner of Hillman Handyman Services LLC, this book pulls back the curtain on the construction industry. It isn't a guide on how to install drywall—it is a survival guide on how to hire the people who do. You will learn: The Red Flags: How to spot a bad contractor during the very first interview. - The "Triangle" Trap: Why "Fast, Cheap, and Good" is a myth, and how to pick the right two. - Contract Essentials: The specific clauses you need to protect your wallet (and your sanity). - General Contractor vs. Project Manager: Which one do you actually need? - The Payment Schedule: Why you should never pay 100% upfront, and when to hold back the final check. Your home is likely your biggest investment. Don't hand the keys to the lowest bidder without a plan. Read How to Find the Good Contractor and take control of your renovation today.
