During a basement renovation in Louisville, Kentucky, a homeowner was overwhelmed by quotes. Everything sounded fine until they asked one simple question: “What could go wrong with this project?”
One contractor brushed it off. Another gave a detailed answer about possible delays, permit issues, and moisture concerns. The homeowner chose the second trade. The project had minor hiccups, but nothing unexpected because it had been discussed beforehand.
Hiring a trade is not about the lowest price. It is about honesty, foresight, and clear communication. Asking the right questions separates good trades from risky ones
