Flood rebuilding

Over the past few weeks we have all seen the picture listen to the story of heartbreak and devastation that was all in thanks to the hight water causing flooding throughout muskoka and Halliburton .

As the water starts to recede and the damage is finally being inspected the cost are rising and with many not covered under their insurance it will be up to the home owners to deal with the repairs.
While this will give the local guy a chance to pick up some work it will also open the door for bad choices and fraud , as with all building projects when hiring contractors always ask and check ref,
always get 3 quote and never feel rushed or pushed to commit to a contractor .

now paying for material when they are delivered is common but large deposit is a red flag and make sure that the work is done and been inspected before paying .
remember all work requires a permit .
if your contractor brings in subs then make sure you get a clearance that they have been paid before you pay off the builder for everything.

Now with everything else it is very important that you do not try to do more than you can afford.
work with your contractor not against them set your goals and time line at the start .

remember just as many jobs go south because of bad contractor as do bad home owners
