Tough economic times are the domain of shysters and Wimpy Vaughn of the county planning and zoning office says that is especially true in the home remodeling field.’We have had a number of instances lately where local people have been scammed by unlicensed home remodeling contractors. One case involved a contract in excess of $18,000. We caught that one in time. Others have not been so lucky,’ Vaughn said.Any home project which costs more than $2500 or involves structural changes requires a licensed contractor.Those thinking of hiring a contractor can check for licenses online at www.sos.ga.gov/plb/contractors.Those unsure about a prospective contractor can also contact Vaughn for guidance at 770-358-5437.
