After you've read it use it as a learning experience in dealing with any Remodeling Contractor. There are many contractors out there doing the same thing to homeowners and some are hard to recognize. One place to start is the Better Business Bureau. Search the company and see not only how many complaints they have but how long they've been in business under the same name. Contractors are famous for closing up shop when they get too many complaints and opening up under a new name......often in another state.
