The course, titled “Your Home Improvement Project – Start Now and Do It Right!” will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26, and Wednesday, Nov. 9, at Bonny Eagle Middle School.
Those people planning on remodeling a home or who have projects around a home that require a professional contractor won’t want to miss these informative sessions. Lawrence will explain how to properly plan their projects, locate and screen contractors. He will discuss written contracts and teach homeowners how to monitor their home improvement projects.
“Choosing a contractor is the most important decision in any home project. It does take time and effort, but if done properly it helps ensure that the project will go smoothly,” Lawrence said.

Since the company’s establishment in November of 2002, more than 70 contractors have come on board to handle most home projects. Network contractors are screened for licenses and insurance, references, and also checked with the Better Business Bureau/Office of Consumer Affairs. Home Project Partners’ clients are new homeowners, those who are new to the area and homeowners who don’t know to call for home project needs.
