The Hidden Cost of 'Cheap' Labor

🛑

Stop Work Orders

City inspectors patrol Old North St. Louis daily. Unpermitted work gets red-tagged immediately. You will pay **double permit fees** plus administrative fines to resolve it.

🏥

Bankruptcy Risk

A single injury on your property can exceed your homeowner's liability cap. Uninsured 'handymen' expose your personal savings to massive medical claims.
