- 52How to handle a bad contractor who won't fix poor workPaying before inspecting leaves homeowners with little leverage when contractors deliver subpar or unauthorized work. Without a clear path to recourse or refunds for shoddy repairs, people are left feeling cheated and stuck with expensive, unsightly results.
- 13How to tell if roof flashing is installed wrongPoorly installed roof flashing relies heavily on caulk rather than proper metal integration, leaving homeowners with leaks and visually unacceptable work. Without clear industry standards to reference, it becomes difficult to dispute substandard craftsmanship and demand corrections from a roofing contractor.
