7 SIGNS YOUR CONTRACTOR MAY BE SHADY
1. They pressure you.
2. They only accept cash. This is a huge red flag.
3. They want it all up front. If they demand full payment up front, be wary: they may never finish the job.
4. They have no references,
5. They suggest a lender.
6. The contractor fails to listen.
7. No right of rescission. A solid contractor will let you know that you have the right to cancel your contract within three days of signing; this "right of rescission" is required by law and allows you to change your mind without penalty.
