Mechanic's Liens
In Lake St. Louis, if an unverified contractor doesn't pay their supplier, **you** are liable. The supplier can place a lien on your home, forcing you to pay for materials twice.
🏗️
Mandatory Tear-Downs
If work is done without inspection in Lake St. Louis, you may be forced to tear down walls or decks to prove compliance. The cost to 'do it twice' is astronomical.
🏚️
Property Damage Caps
If a cheap pro drops a tree on your roof, they can't pay for it. You pay the deductible and higher premiums. Ask for a current General Liability certificate; screened pros provide one on request.
