A local contractor is facing felony charges after dozens of Chicago-area residents say they lost thousands on unfinished or shoddy home repairs. One elderly veteran paid $15,000 for a basement entryway that was never completed, and he’s not alone—others say they lost anywhere from $2,000 to over $100,000. With 15 complaints filed to the Illinois Attorney General, it’s clear this isn’t an isolated issue. If you’ve ever hired a contractor, how do you protect yourself from scams like this? Let’s talk about what’s worked (or hasn’t) for you and your neighbors. #Business #Chicago #HomeRepair
