SmartStart Defense Kit
Avoid a $15,000 Mistake Before You Build.
This kit reveals the red flags, legal traps, and missed funding paths that cost homeowners thousands—before they ever swing a hammer.
THE PROBLEM
Most homeowners lose money before the work even starts.
Bad contractors. Vague contracts. Missed permits. Sketchy bids.
All it takes is one:
$5K+ lost to an unlicensed or dishonest contractor
$2.5K penalty for a missed permit
$10K mistake hidden in the fine print of your contract
And most people never even see it coming.
The SmartStart™ Defense Kit shows you what to watch for before it happens.
