• The Perils of Hiring Workers For Cash

Learn how hiring workers for cash puts you and your home at risk. Not only do you lose some of your legal protections for substandard work or defects and perhaps risk your insurance coverage - you may be undermining the benefits of community building standards that protect us all. The few dollars you may save on the deal may only be a drop in the bucket for how much you could lose if something goes wrong. You are ultimately responsible for what is done in your home if it does not meet the building codes and standards of your community.
