To protect yourself from disreputable contractors in the Greater Wichita Area, a task force recommends hiring only licensed contractors and diligently vetting them by checking references, business relationships, and insurance coverage. Ensure that you have a comprehensive written contract that details the work to be done, costs, and warranties, and never make the final payment until you are completely satisfied with the completed work.

When shopping for a new home, the quality of your builder is as crucial as the features of the home itself; start your home-buying journey by vetting professional builders first. Research builders’ reputations, visit their completed projects, scrutinize the quality of construction, and inquire about post-sale services and warranties to make an informed decision, ensuring your new home is a sound and satisfying investment.
