no prob....hope things will be plainsailing for ur reno.

T&C is to protect firms who came out with them. In black & white, they would not be liable to any loss or damages, even if u sue them. 90% of the issues reno firms have with customers are probably payment, which in turn they would use that contract to justify their interests. If you have issues with them, such as workmanship, material, delay etc, you wouldn't gain from the T&C at all. At most, you can go to RADAC or case. For RADAC, you got to pay $500 urself in order to get their surveyor to inspect ur house. For CASE, u got to be a registered member which means pay membership first, oni then u'll be allowed to lodge a report...in my own opinion u can save ur time n effort. In a final effort, u could probably go to the small claims court, but you'll probably won't gain much of it, as black n white is mostly not in ur favor. Jus sharing.....

Sharing my experience with u, I did had the same feeling as u when i went to a ID instead of contractor. Very wrong decision!! There were no supervision at all for the work and quality, workmanship, attitude were real down the drain. U can read more if u do a search on my postings recently... Good luck to u!

I withheld my payment too, but they went SCT to claim..... After consulting with MP legal advisor( which was as good as seeing any roadside fortune-teller), i told myself to save myself from further undue time,stresses,unhappiness....I gived in n compromised on the amt claimed. So I treated my $40K lesson as one of my most dear n hard-earned lesson in my life....n Always read the fine print n Black n White n don't listen to hear-say reputation Remember.....Expensive n Famous NOT==== good service or quality!!
