Hiring a Contractor 101:  Once you’ve picked your contractor, CSLB also advises homeowners: 1) Don’t pay cash, 2) Don’t pay in full up-front and don’t let the payments get ahead of the work, and 3) Make sure you have a written contract and don’t sign it until you fully understand the terms and what’s included or not included. Get more information and tips about hiring a contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or by calling 800 321-CSLB (2752).  Next week:   Keep our contractors working.
