Well today begins my journey into the world of blogging. I am thankful for the coaching and encouragement of Rick Roberge and Pete Caputa for helping me see the possibilities of blogging.

MY MISSION AND PURPOSE
To educate consumers and homeowners on the subject of how to hire a professional contractor so that they do not become the victim of unscrupulous contractors. Through education, homeowners can arm themselves with the information they need to prevent becoming a contractor nightmare story. This education process will force poor quality firms to improve or go out of business.

I hope this venue will become a great forum to teach homeowners that there are sure fire ways to hire the right contractor to do work on their homes.

I also hope this venue will be frequented by contractors who share the same concern as I that contractors need to do a better job in policing the industry against Johnny Hook & Ladder.

In the past 5 years Consumer Protection Groups logged the most common complaints in America and found that Home Improvement is the most complained about industry in the country. Just imagine that contractors have a worse reputation than used car salesman.

This blog will focus on issues concerning what homeowners can do to prevent becoming a contractor nightmare. I look forward to your participation and ideas. In addition, I hope contractors who are concerned about the Stigma of the home improvemnt industry will offer their ideas and comments.

If this endeavor prevents one homeowner/contractor nightmare story it will prove to be well worth the effort. I look forward to hearing from you.
