(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Cold weather is a hot time for home shows, but before you go – make sure to do your homework.
Home shows can be a great place to get home remodeling ideas and even finding the right business for the right job.
Attending home shows can be very exciting and companies often offer big discounts and specials that you can find out about by going to the show.
At times, the best deal pricewise can lead to a costly mistake if you are dealing with substandard companies. It's good to research a company-looking into it’s track record, ratings, and reviews.
The BBB recommends:
- Getting multiple quotes from different companies.
- Asking for references to similar projects done in your area.
- Resist the urge to impulsively buy and sign any documents or contracts on the spot.
- Always get final pricing, warranties, and timelines in writing.
