Paint can be less
expensive than wall
papering. This could be
a determining factor.
Durable Paint can last
from 2 to 4 years. It is
important to contract a
qualified painter that
preps the walls prior to
painting.
Wall coverings can last
7 to 10 years or more
depending on style,
quality and installation
If you can't decide, the
best decision could be
to do both in either
different rooms or on
separate walls.

Counter Tops can be
confusing. There are
many different styles
and types to choose.
Making sure to contract
a qualified professional
is very important. This
requires a contractor
with the required
knowledge in installing
stone, ceramic or
porcelain tile, plastic
laminates, granite or
marble, solid or
textured colors and
surfaces. It takes these
qualifications to
perform the work with
durability and
acceptable appearance.
You can learn from 'The
Real Tricks Of The
Trade' or Ben's
personal consultation
what to ask and what to
look for in the
contractor who is
qualified to remodel
your kitchen counter
tops and cabinets.
The spring season is the
perfect time of year to
begin your home
improvement projects.
Painting the exterior is
often the first
priority.
If you are going to
paint the house
yourself, you will
definitely need a
qualified consultant and
or educational materials
to prepare you and
provide the knowledge
you will absolutely
require for exterior
painting.
Without contracting a
qualified professional
or obtaining your
information and
necessary knowledge, you
will be spending more
money than you will be
hoping to save. More
importantly, you will be
attempting a project
that could turn out
faulty. Knowing the
facts about paint,
rollers, sprays,
textures, coats, wood,
sidings, durability and
environmental
requirements including
the preparations are
imperative for any
lasting or acceptable
results in exterior
painting.

"BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHO YOU
ALLOW TO WORK ON YOUR HOME!”
This ebook will guide, arm and
protect you against the gross
incompetent and dishonest
contractors that claim to be
qualified and professional.
The ebook was originally written
for his very close friends who
are just like family. The issues
are right to the point, concise
yet simple to follow details and
guidance.
Most importantly, the content in
point, fact and truth will TEACH
you HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE
RED FLAGS
that INCOMPETENT and FRAUDULENT
tradesmen unknowingly reveal.
These type of unscrupulous
contractors don't realize they
are actually SENDING UNTRUTHFUL
SIGNALS.
And believe me when I tell you…”
I have seen and worked with them
all!”
This ebook deals with and
discusses 'One of the biggest
problems facing this and other
industries today' and how to
recognize and protect your home.
All home
improvements building
and repairs should be
performed by a licensed
and competent
professional,
so you have been warned.
This is required if you
will be requesting a
compliance certificate
from the Contractor who
performs the work.
You have also been
advised in every written
'How To Guide' that you
should always discuss
what work is included in
the price and or
estimate that is
provided for you. You
read the book, it tells
you to make sure all
labor, parts and
appliances, equipment
and what will be
provided should be
specifically noted
including any warranties
or other required
information.
You have also been told
or read that only a
licensed contractor may
issue a compliance
certificate. A
compliance certificate
is the means by which a
licensed contractor aka
professional
self-certifies that the
repairs or building
materials and finishing
product complies with
all legislative
requirements.
You have also read or
heard professional
schooled and educated
contractors are highly
skilled and accredited
by Professional
Associations and
Government Regulations.
To be a licensed
contractor, he or she
must have obtained the
required qualifications,
have extensive
experience and hold a
prescribed level of
insurance.
YES.... that's what you
have read, heard and or
been told.
Is it a fact? Is it
true?
The unpleasant truth is,
there are a great many
incompetent and
fraudulent contractors
who are providing
services under false
licenses and illegally
representing their
qualifications.
How then.. are YOU
the consumer in need of
Home Improvements..
going to be protected?
Observably, there are
some improvements and
repairs including
building on your own
property, a
knowledgeable home owner
can complete without a
contractor. However, for
most home owners the
fact is a contractor
will be required to
perform the project.
In doing some research
prior to protect
yourself, you will find
it is much easier than
paying for the
consequences later or
after the job is begun.
Making sure you use
legitimate, established
and reputable
contractors is a
priority to your
repairs, improvements,
additions or new
construction.
When you need a contractor, you should consider these facts:
Always use a Licensed Professional
Verify the License expiry date is current
For contracting work which requires a compliance certificate ensure you receive your compliance certificate (you must use a licensed professional)
Ask about your contractors' and manufacturers' warranty conditions (many manufacturers require a licensed contractor to install their product or equipment. If you do not use a licensed professional your product warranty and insurance may be void)

He

trades. He was at the very early age of 9, when he
first started working in his grandfather's
cabinet shop. By the time he was 18 and slinging a
trowel for his uncle's stone, marble
and masonry company, he was a skilled craftsman.
Then it was off to Viet Nam for a period.
After arriving home from the war, he started his own
construction business in Maryland. His skill and
expertise was required to hire, teach and employ
many men and women in his successful construction
company and residential remodeling industry.
Ben might still be putting all his efforts into the
construction business, but after retiring he and his
wonderful wife and business partner began a life
long dream to also have his own Photography Studio.

Wedding Events business. Together withtheir extraordinary dedication and cosmic
knowledge the business continues to flourish with

Unfortunately,
there are many contractors who are scam
artists as well as swindlers who prey on
innocent homeowners. Sadly, many are
unskilled and incompetent to provide
qualified home repair services.
You can protect yourself against these
scams. In fact, you can become
aware of and distinguish the skilled
professional from the untrained and
unskilled fraudulent 'Pretending'
contractor. You can easily become better
educated and aware of intentional consumer
fraud.. You should compare prices, ask for
past customer references and make efforts to
call those who have a testimonial on work
done by the contractor. Above all research
and learn more about the project you are
undertaking prior to any work starting.
Many people do not put the efforts required
into projects on one of their most valuable
assets.
Our
EDUCATIONAL CORNER helps to remove the
effort and overwhelming process you should
learn more about.
Additionally,
'Tricks Of The Trade' offers great insight,
information and knowledge in protecting your
home.
Is is important you ask
for the Contactors ID and Business
License including their actual Permit
License Number.
If a Contactor or
Tradesman is not able to show some sort
of Identification, they most likely are
not the professional you should contract
for work on your home. You can always
call the State Offices for verification
or surf over the URL on the Internet at:
State Board Of Examiners for the
specific trade.
Always Check To Learn If You Require A
Permit.
