Session 3 How to Hire a Licensed Contractor
Speakers: Dan George, Santa Barbara Contractors Association President & Rodney Utt, Utt Construction
Location: BC 226
Californians spend more than $39 billion on residential construction each year. Many homeowners have discovered that improving their present residence with an updated kitchen, an additional bathroom, new windows or a new roof can be a prudent investment. Adding a room or updating a kitchen can cost more than a new car, so consumers should take some time and care in planning a costly home improvement project. Unfortunately, most consumers spend less time choosing a contractor than they do choosing a car. The Santa Barbara Contractors Association is an excellent source of information for the consumer. This seminar provides a brief summary of some of the things you as a homeowner can do to avoid costly mistakes and misunderstandings in dealing with your contractor.
