Hiring a contractor shouldn’t feel like walking into a trap.
But for many homeowners, it does.
One minute your air conditioner stops working, your roof starts leaking, or your plumbing backs up. The next minute you’re being handed estimates for thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars with no easy way to know what’s real, what’s unnecessary, or what questions you should even be asking.
In Don’t Get Ripped Off: A Homeowner’s Guide to Hiring Contractors, Jack Mercer pulls back the curtain on how home repair and remodeling jobs really work.
Written in plain English with real-world examples, this practical guide helps homeowners avoid common scams, overpriced repairs, vague estimates, pressure tactics, and costly mistakes when dealing with HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, roofers, remodelers, and general contractors.
Inside you’ll learn:
This is not a technical manual filled with contractor jargon. It’s a straightforward homeowner survival guide written for real people trying to protect their homes, their money, and their sanity.
You don’t need to become an expert.
You just need to know enough not to get burned.
