Home and Apartment Maintenance
If you live in one place long enough, you'll probably have to deal with certain professionals: home improvement contractors, architects, designers, interior decorators, gardeners, handymen, painters, etc. As with most services in the United States, you'll find a lot to choose from and a wide variety in quality and price. The consumer has to be careful since anyone can go into the home improvement or painting business with just a few dollars. Try not to pay in advance. Get a written estimate and schedule of the work to be done for the price, but most of all, try to get a recommendation from a satisfied customer. If you have to find a contractor through the Yellow Pages or from an advertisement, ask for references. Next Section: Refrigerator Magnets American Community: Chapter Home
