Default Carefull when hiring any contractor

http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/mon...once-but-twice

This is a well-known local cabinet maker here in KC.

Times are tough for everyone, and care must be taken by all, and our clients, when hiring or using any contractor.

I am a member, participant, and a believer the local BBB office here in KC.

BBB? Yea right. The contractor in article has an "F". If you pay to be a member in BBB you have a "A+".
My State of Wisconsin has a division of consumer protection. We also have a "theft by contractor law".
Consumer's need to do their homework, check references for "anyone" they higher and have written contract.

Another scam being propagated on the consumer. Have a good read of the following:
