• Dreamed of your building a new new home
• Been tempted to hire a contractor to create your dream remodel
• Wanted to reward your family with a new family room or addition

As seen on the Sally Jesse Raphael Show, you're about to uncover powerful inside money-saving, quality-securing, frustration-stomping tips and techniques shared with you by the someone took a whopping $26,000 contractor "caused" loss and turned it around to a home remodeling triumph!

Dear Home Remodeler,

What you just read above is true... Don't believe me?  Are you aware of the number of scams that flourish like mosquitos in the home contracting industry? Things they hide from consumers like you include:

• No license. Think of it. If you're a professional, you'd want to be licensed right? Thing is, some states don't even require a license to be a contractor! I could simply pick up a hammer and call myself a contractor. But by the time you're aware of that, I could be long gone with your money as well.

• No insurance. Here's something that should scare the heck out of you. Did you know that if a contractor brings someone to the job, and that someone gets hurt, and the contractor doesn't have workman's comp, you are the one responsible? That means you get sued, not the contractor.

How lovely.

• The REAL cost of a low-bid price. Ahhh, the joy of saving a few bucks! What if your low-ball contractor comes back in the middle of the job and says, ooops, I goofed on the estimation? He's already started your job!!! Do you want to deal with the stress of firing him then and starting your contractor search again?

Most people don't. They just pay and pray. Sometimes over and over and over again!

• Material swaps. A topic near and dear to my heart. After walls have been put up and sheetrocked/spackled over, do you really know the materials that are now hidden are what you asked for?

• Real Stupidity. You won't believe this one. Let's say you want a drop ceiling.
• You know the tracks that are used to hold those ceiling square tiles?
• Where do you think they should be attached? The wooden frame of the wall? (Answer, yes! That would provide the stability you need!) Or just directly to the sheetrock?

That one is rather obvious to catch if you know to look...but what about those "little things" contractors can cover up so easily?

My name is Barbara Ling and helping you avoid contractor heart-ache, headaches, frustration and money-loss is why I created this site.  You are going to benefit from my months of experience and thousands of dollars lost...you are going to gain the knowledge I needed back when I was ripped off to the tune of 26K. I'm going to share with you how-to techniques so effective for achieving your perfect home remodel that you'll be grateful you've found this site FIRST before committing your hard-earned money.   No matter what kind of home improvment you are considering, from merely adding a new room to building a brand new house, this information applies to YOU, your friends, your family....anyone who is considering making an improvement to their home..

In this how-to guide you'll gain insider contractor secrets; you'll save incredible sums of money, time, and aggravation; and you'll discover how to avoid the minefields of shoddy scamlike predators while protecting yourself as much as possible from the potentially disasterous consequences of incompetent subcontractors. 

This year, SmartMoney.com reported that only 26 states even have contractor licensing requirements!  Not only that, but anyone with a hammer can call himself a contractor. Certainly, fly-by-nights who will trash one of your most important possessions, your home, aren't who you want to use!

But have no fear; you'll avoid them with ease once you once you learn how to:

• See the hidden costs buried within lowest bids - You'd be surprised at the hidden "gremlins" and surprises waiting to pop out and bite you...

• Ferret out warning signs that most home owners miss on bills (yet are in plain sight!)... learn how to read bills correctly so you never have to be taken to the cleaners again!

• Uncover all 50 state-specific departments for contracting and the important questions to ask so you get the information you need...

• Determine what that hidden bulge in his pants pocket really is and what he plans on doing with it (does the phrase 'tape recorder' mean anything to you?) ... learn how to turn the tables on unscrupulous and abusive contractors and stop their mob-like blackmail dead in its tracks!

• Barrel through the scam of "discounted materials, available only today!" ... discover why "cheap today" means you'll be paying through the nose tomorrow...

• Understand the techniques contractors are taught to get you to buy, not repair - stop the hardball leeches that only want to prey on your money and not the results you expect!

• Create a daily remodeler diary so you're covered during the project - A simple $1 notebook can be the strongest protection you could ever buy... cheaper than lawsuits and attorneys and much better than spending hours in therapy!

• Discover the importance of verifying worker's compensation (if a contractor gets hurt on your property, and he has no insurance, you can be sued) - learn to be a "requirement mercenary" and prevent yourself from being thrashed once during the remodeling and all over again in court!

• Prepare against a mechanic's lien (if a contractor fails to pay his subcontractors, those material providers can try to foreclose on your property) - the nasty little secret of contractors is finally exposed!

• Keep track of materials actually used and materials you're charged for... Your bank account and remodeling budget is important, why should you fund your contractors "rampant" lifestyle?

• Deal with "The Pandora's Box" - Discover how to shove the genie back in the bottle once he pops out and how to keep him there... forever!!!

And those were some of the minor experiences... I could easily rattle off a whole littany of abuses, costs, rip-offs, psychological games and too "weird" to be believed stories that would make your head spin, your brain hurt and make you afraid to ever enter a "home improvement" store again!

If you think what I detailed above is good, you're in for a great surprise because that's not all the goodies in the research.  In a minute I'm going to reveal the benefits of knowing a Whole New World of Home Owner Defense Weapons from almost 100 Power-Packed Pages covering everything from over half a hundred Contractor Scams to Internet resources for quality remodeling work and discounts...from finding reputable professionals to the inside information on just how contractors get licensed where required (shocking information!) and more!

First, make sure to subscribe to my NO-HELL ezine, bursting at the seams with dozens upon dozens of little-known tips and techniques for superb home-improvement ideas.  This is a private ezine and will never be sold or given away for any reason, and of course we make it easy to unsubscribe if you ever want to (but why would you?).

Before we go any further I want to tell you a little about myself and why I can share this information with you. Quite simply, I've been there already and lost almost 26K. I've been taken for thousands of dollars by <...insert ominous music tone here...> The Contractor From Hell. I've had the pleasure of:

• Sinks installed with no drains.
• Doors installed with half a frame.
• Windows installed with no structural reinforcement.
• Paying for high grade materials and receiving Joe's Bargain Basement items.

And those were the minor experiences.

Ooooh, I'm mad...real mad.

No one, not me, not you, not anyone that only wants to make their homes nicer, better, roomier, more liveable should go through what hundred, if not thousands of folks across the country go through year after year in the hands of unscrupulous, abusive contractors... the contractors from hell!

Luckily, there is a solution... it's time to turn the tables and blast the vermin out of the water!

Scores of homeowners are just teetering on the brink of being scammed within an inch of their life concerning their home remodeling. It's happening today, and it can happen to you...honest people who expect the quality they deserve when they turn over their house to contractors' hands. Homeowners who have no idea just how easy it is to get taken for a ride.

Until now....

You'll see every money-draining scam I encountered (and learn about dozens more that I researched). You'll see crucial resources that ensure your remodeling experience is the quality one you deserve. You'll read the vital information I ferreted out that will keep money in your pocket.

In short, you'll save the thousands of dollars I could have if I knew this info then (argh! argh! argh!) when you remodel.

Now, if you've spent more than 3 minutes looking considering investing in home improvement , you've probably already been exposed to predatory come-on's from the scores of fly-by-night conctractors who litter the yellow pages with their advertisements:

"Top Notch Quality At Unheard-Of Prices! We Guarantee We'll Beat Any Quote!"

Sure they will. They'll beat the quote, get your deposit, and then hit you with the price inflations half way through the project.

These vultures aren't stupid.  They prey on your emotions.  After all, when you think of remodeling your home, you're not concentrating upon everything that could go wrong - you're fantasizing about how wonderful it will be to finally enjoy it, completed. Immediately, you're put at an emotional disadvantage!

Case in point:  Have you ever talked to a contractor you dug up in the yellow pages? Did they speak in concrete terms to you (quotes, billing, prices, materials) or did they assure you it would all be taken care of....later? Much later? As in, when you're already in the hole?

You don't have time for all that!  This is your home we're talking about, your dreams, your ideas....it's for your family, your well-being, your life. The last thing you need is to deal with the slime of the contracting industry! Which brings us to our next point...
