(H&G)
The Spring Columbus Dispatch Home & Garden Show kicks off today, Saturday, February 17th, and runs through February 25, 2024. It’s a great opportunity for homeowners to visit the Ohio Expo Center to tour indoor gardens, receive renovation and garden advice, and start to tackle their big home improvement projects! Consumers should look for the Sign of A Better Business and watch for the Accredited Business Seal at booths throughout the show.
Home improvement projects can be difficult, and hiring a reliable contractor is important for any project. Hire the right one, and you can have peace of mind knowing your project is in good hands. Hire the wrong one and you could face a wide range of problems, from unfinished work, financial scams, or being sued if workers aren’t paid. BBB offers a durable printed contractor checklist at the Home & Garden Show Information Booth powered by BBB. Consumers (and media) can link or print it here. Also, BBB of Central Ohio's own Investigations Director, Lee Anne Lanigan, will present on The Art of Hiring a Contractor. You can catch the video on BBB's social channels.
On the chance a consumer connects with a less-than-credible contractor, BBB can help customers and businesses resolve conflicts through dispute resolution services, such as:
- Forwarding complaints to the offending company
- Requesting that the company respond and reach out to customers
- Provide mediation services between company and customers
- Provide arbitration, if needed.
The Spring Home & Garden Show runs February 17th - 25, 2024.
Why choose a BBB-Accredited Business?
When consumers choose to work with a BBB-accredited company, like a home contractor, they choose a business that cares and invests in its reputation. The accreditation process ensures that Accredited Businesses provide the best customer service and offer quality products for all consumers. Each BBB business profile offers important information, including customer reviews and dispute resolution services.
