HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR HOME REMODEL OR CONSTRUCTION
Vancouver, WA – (RealEstateRama) — Finding a competent, reliable contractor can seem like a major hurdle to building or remodeling your home. Even with a good contractor, building new or renovating the old can be stressful, expensive and involve unpleasant surprises.

The 4:30 p.m. meeting will be in the sixth-floor hearing room of the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St. It is open to the public.
