On a garage conversion in Fresno, California, a homeowner asked one simple question before hiring anyone. “What could go wrong with this project?”
One contractor brushed it off and said everything would be easy. Another took time to explain possible delays, inspection issues, and moisture concerns.
The homeowner hired the second trade. The project was not perfect, but there were no surprises. Every issue had already been discussed before work started.
Good trades do not sell perfection. They prepare you for reality. That honesty is often worth more than the lowest quote
