1. Choosing Based on Price Alone

Low bids often hide future increases.

2. Skipping Written Agreements

If it is not documented, expect disputes.

3. Ignoring Insurance

Uninsured work exposes you to liability.

4. Paying Too Much Upfront

Large deposits remove contractor incentive.

5. Hiring Without Comparing

One quote is not a strategy.

Three is.

6. Accepting Vague Timelines

Ambiguity creates delays.

Demand clarity.

7. Searching Instead of Matching

Endless research wastes time and rarely improves outcomes.

Structured platforms simplify hiring dramatically.
