John Senior's Pet Peeves:

Contractors who ask you to pay for the entire job in advance.
Contractors who solicit your business door-to-door. This sales approach is often accompanied by high pressure sales tactics, intimidation, and threats.
Contractors who don't let you verify their name, address, telephone number, or credentials.
People who claim to be endorsed by the Federal Housing Administration for the Title I home improvement loan program. More information on this type of deceptive advertising is available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's web site.
Contractors who are not willing to offer references or the references provided were not happy with the contractor's work.
Finally, contractor who will accept payment only in cash.
