[quote=Anonymous]Much of the time those are just a scam. However, I would never let some uninsured do work on my home. There are just too many things that could go wrong that to way too expensive. Sit back while I tell you a tale... In my first place (a side by side 2-floor condo), I was planning a minor, cosmetic bathroom upgrade. I don't know how, but the contractor broke a pipe. Since it was a condo, no one was sure how to turn the water off. Water was everywhere, first floor, second floor and went through the walls to my neighbor's place too. Thousands of dollars of water remediation, replaced flooring, walls, etc., I was damn glad I made sure I had a licensed and insured person do the work AND had a contract. My neighbor and the contractor's insurance dealt with their damage and I paid absolutely nothing for brand new hardwood floors since the old ones were destroyed. Helped a lot with resale. It was the best worst thing that ever happened to me.[/quote]
