Taking over a project from another contractor who was fired – or who walked off the job
Canadian Contractor BusinessSooner of later, you will be invited to clean up another contractor's mess. If you decide to do this, you need to make sure you don't make the same mistakes they did. Here's how.
We tip our hat to our renovation trade magazine colleagues south of the border (Remodelling) for this superb article on taking over a job from another contractor who quit or was fired.
For those who didn’t know, Americans use the term “remodelling” the way Canadians use the term “renovating.”
If you follow the steps in this article, you can avoid getting yourself into the same mess as the contractor who was there before you.
