You hit the nail dead on. Unfortunatley, the FEW bad contractors, be they of whatever trades are the cause of consumer protection laws.
Reading some excerpts from the EC Law Book, to a few EC's that needed a 'refresher', you may be surprized how many (or few) do not understand the term "professional mis-conduct", nor the consequences of that charge. "Price gouging" is also addressed, and that was a shock to someone also.
Having the GC's get a license may help, but you still have good old Chapter 7,11,13 and god help the subs.
Fortunatly, the DCA listens to both sides, as does the Board of Examiners regarding Consumer complaints.
For the members of this forum that reside and work in no permit, no lic, no inspection areas, I feel for you guys. Remember Virgil, aka Sparky66WV???
