Last week, I fielded no fewer than five phone calls from homeowner with the same grim news. They found it nearly impossible to get quotes from contractors to do fairly simple repairs.
Each caller’s stress level was running on high. Fortunately I talked each one through what they needed to do to complete the repairs themselves, saving a cumulative total of about $30,000 by my best estimation.
That’s what I’m trying to do each week: to lower your anxiety, save you money and give you the confidence so you can cut the cord between you and contractors. I only do this when I feel you can do a repair yourself….
