What to Check Before You Sign
Supplier Debt Lawsuits
If a contractor falls behind on lumber bills for your project, lien law can let suppliers pursue you for the balance. Ask for lien waivers as work is paid for.
Stop Work Orders
Unpermitted work in Cincinnati can be red-tagged when an inspector finds it. You may owe double permit fees plus administrative fines to resolve it.
Bankruptcy Risk
A single injury on your property can exceed your homeowner's liability cap. Hiring someone without liability coverage can expose your personal savings to large medical claims.
