Check them all. People seldom follow up - but they'd save themselves some grief if they did. *Check with the Toronto Home Builders' Associa- tion's Renovations and Redevelopment Council. They can provide you with a phamplet on renovation and a list of their members. *Be suspicious. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Even the clothes the person is wear- ing and the vehicle he's driving can give you clues. If something doesn't smell right, don't proceed. Go with your instincts and find someone else.
