Thank you to Marvin Windows & Doors, our very first e-publications sponsor last month! We know you want in on the action too... it only costs $150 per month for NARIGC members with a guarantee of at least FOUR emails sent out to more than 400 industry recipients. You pick the month (only one sponsor per month, first come, first reserved), and on each broadcast email that NARIGC sends out that month, your banner ad will appear at the top, as Marvin's DID. It can also be a clickable link to your website. At the end of each month sponsored, you will receive reports on each email sent. If you are interested, please contact Mimi at mimi@narichicago.org, and she will send you the ad specs. | |
NEW "KNOW YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS" BROCHURE
Before engaging in the business of home repair and remodeling, this brochure must be presented to the client. If the contract is more than $1,000, in Illinois a contractor is required to put the contract in writing, provide the customer with a copy of the "Home Repair: Know Your Consumer Rights" pamphlet, and obtain written acknowledgement of their receipt of the brochure.
The Illinois Attorney General's office has updated that pamphlet and requires that this up-to-date version (click link above) be distributed and signed by the homeowner.
If the contractor does not retain a signed copy of the Homeowner Acknowledgement portion of this pamphlet, Illinois court cases have been decided that the contractor may forfeit his or her rights to collecting monies owed!
