They take money from small business guys and promise to bring them leads but never deliver any leads and then demand they pay for leads and advertising they never get.. or just take a deposit and forget all about that small business.. and charge a large monthly fee contractors I would proceed with caution with the likes of homeimprovementshopper.com or constructiondeal.com Just beware...

That's a great idea. People don't realize that when they hold the money, they hold the cards! Money will make sure the job is completed. Money will make sure they show up for work. If you agree to pay them every Friday, you'll be amazed at the work that gets done on Thursday. Funny how they always show up and work hard when it's payday! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! #Chris→

In the state of California, it is against the law for a contractor to ask for more than $1,000 on any size residential job. They still ask and people still pay it. Incredible.
