💡 Pro Tips
Payment Schedule
Never pay more than 10-15% upfront. Structure payments tied to milestones, with 10% held until final completion.
Get It In Writing
Verbal promises mean nothing. Every detail, change, and agreement should be documented in writing.
Trust Your Gut
If something feels off or a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Don't rush the decision.
Document Everything
Take photos before, during, and after. Keep all emails, texts, and receipts organized.
