The Counter To "Contractors Are Dishonest" Trope
Katelyn Lewis • November 29, 2023
How does Retex counter the common trope that contractors are Dishonest?
You may believe all, or most, contractors are dishonest or prone to taking advantage of helpless homeowners who don’t know any better. This can lead to a lack of trust and a reluctance to work with contractors, even if your home needs the work to be done.
So how does Retex counter the common trope that “contractors are dishonest?”
- Clear communication.
- Detailed contracts.
- Licensing and insurance.
- Dozens of references and reviews.
- Repair and replacement warranties.
