Scrutinize the Contractor's Proposal

What happens here

This step focuses on identifying 'The Wiggle' scam, which is characterized by contractors using ambiguous or non-specific language in their proposals. To protect yourself, always insist on a detailed proposal that includes specific sections: your address and contact information, a clear and exhaustive job description, and precise details about what materials will be used (including type and quantity). Crucially, the proposal should also contain a 'Does Not Include' section to eliminate any assumptions about omitted work or materials.

Goal: Identify and avoid 'The Wiggle' scam by ensuring the proposal is highly detailed.
