Review your remodeling contract carefully and adjust it to make sure it protects you in terms of payments, work schedules, and project specifications.

Effort: Low 3 hrs (review contract)
Investment: Low $0

Turn down contractor’s warranty

Agreeing to a warranty may limit your contractor’s liability and cost you money in the end.

Warranties often are loaded with exclusions and time limits that favor the contractor, not you. Frequently, state statues provide better protection, which you forfeit if you accept less from the contractor. Unless a lawyer reviews the contract, strike the warranty clause.
