Comment on Tornado? Don’t Just Take Cover, Get Coverage! by charlesmorrow

This is a tragic but good example that insurance is in the “details”. Especially in homeowners. I purchased my home 12 years ago and I’ve learned that in todays world I’m under insured.

If you’re like me you may think in terms of “I’m insured” but not to the extent of asking yourself do I have the right amount of coverage.

From first-hand knowledge, I can answer your question, Jim. I finished the job myself. Though it took me four times as long, the work got done the way I wanted it done – and I learned a lot…from correcting my mistakes.

Lien Release: If you do not get one and the materials are billed out to your address, you could be obligated to pay for the materials TWICE, once to your contractor, and another time to the supplier.

Most renovations take longer than expected and cost more than originally estimated due to unforseen issues and homeowner change requests once the work has begun.

Do not pay for anything up front. If the contractor does not have the cash flow to handle your job, you might not have the right one.

What happens when they leave the job half done and walk away?

Thanks, Tisha. That could not have been more timely. My last buyer is looking for a contractor to finish the basement of their new home.
