Home Improvement Contracts under Wisconsin Law: presented by the Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection
You're invited to this free presentation about protecting yourself when contracting for home improvement.
The Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection will present information on home improvement practices and contracts under Wisconsin law. Wisconsin residents sign home improvement contracts every day to make improvements to their homes and property. It is important to understand the consumer protection laws that are in place to protect you before you enter into this type of contract. As part of the presentation, you will learn about tips on hiring a contractor, contractor requirements, and required contract provisions. Home improvement resources will be available to all attendees. As Wisconsin’s lead agency for consumer protection, the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection, provides information and education, mediates complaints, investigates cases, and takes enforcement actions to fight fraudulent and deceptive practices that harm consumers and honest businesses.
Presenter Howard Phillips is by far the most knowledgeable person in the Bureau when it comes to home improvement contracts and its lead investigator. He has been a Regulatory Specialist-Senior with DATCP for seven years, and was a law enforcement agent in Florida specializing in fraud investigations for eighteen years.
