MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTWelcome to the 36th Parade of Homes!It’s an honor to serve as this year’s president and to help share the amazing work our local builders, tradespeople, and suppliers have created. This event is all about celebrating quality craftsmanship, creative design, and the people who make beautiful homes possible.Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “The mother art is architecture.

A big thank-you to our builders, tradespeople, and sponsors for making this event possible.

FOR A HIGHER HOME VALUE, CHOOSE GAS2025 Parade of Homes | hbanwmi.comLack of Licensing and Insurance A reputable contractor should always be licensed and insured. Licensing ensures the contractor meets state and local standards of competency, while insurance protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your property. If a contractor cannot provide proof of both, it’s a major red ag. Always verify that they have the proper credentials before proceeding. Request for Large Upfront Payments While a deposit is standard, be cautious if a contractor demands a large upfront sum before any work begins. This could signal nancial instability or even fraud. Typical upfront payments range from 10% to 30% of the total project cost. Always negotiate payment terms and ensure they are clearly outlined in the contract. No Written Contract A written contract is essential for dening the scope of work, project timeline, and payment schedule. If a contractor is hesitant to provide one, it’s a major red ag. A detailed contract protects both you and the contractor by setting clear expectations and reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings.Choosing the right contractor is crucial to ensuring a smooth home improvement project. Unfortunately, the industry is full of horror stories about subpar work, delays, and scams. To protect yourself, it’s important to recognize the warning signs that may indicate a contractor isn’t trustworthy or competent. Here are key red ags to watch for when hiring a contractor. READ THIS BEFORE YOU HIRE A CONTRACTOR
36 2025 Parade of Homes | hbanwmi.com High-Pressure Sales Tactics Be wary of contractors who pressure you to make quick decisions with tactics like “limited-time discounts” or “sign now to secure a deal.” Reliable contractors understand that home projects are signicant investments, and they will give you the time you need to make an informed decision. Poor Communication Communication is a key factor in any successful project. If a contractor is hard to reach, avoids answering your questions, or doesn’t return calls or emails promptly, consider it a red ag. A trustworthy contractor should be transparent, accessible, and responsive to your concerns. Poor communication often leads to project delays and mistakes. No Portfolio or References A reliable contractor should have a portfolio of past work and be willing to provide references from satised clients. If they can’t provide either, that’s a red ag. Checking references or viewing past projects can give you a clear picture of the contractor’s quality and reliability. A reputable contractor will be happy to oer this information. Unusually Low Estimates While everyone loves a good deal, an estimate that is signicantly lower than others should raise suspicions. The contractor could be cutting corners, using cheap materials, or lacking the experience needed for a high-quality job. It could also indicate hidden costs might emerge once you’re committed. Always get multiple estimates and beware of bids that seem too good to be true. Unprofessional Behavior First impressions matter, and a contractor’s behavior during initial meetings reects their overall professionalism. Tardiness, poor attire, or are signs of potential issues down the road. A professional contractor will present themselves in a manner that reects the quality of work they provide. Avoiding Permits Some contractors may try to convince you to skip the permit process to save time or money. This is a serious red ag. Permits are often legally required to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. Skipping this step can result in nes, safety hazards, or additional costs to correct unpermitted work. A trustworthy contractor will ensure that all necessary permits are obtained and that the project complies with local regulations. Negative Online Reviews Online reviews are an invaluable resource for gauging a contractor’s reputation. While a few negative reviews are normal, a pattern of poor feedback is a strong indication of consistent problems. Pay attention to how the contractor responds to negative reviews—professional contractors will address issues constructively.
