With easy access to all the cultural and other amenities offered by a major urban area, but without all the crowding and other potential negative aspects, Naperville, IL, located on the edge of busy Chicago, is consistently ranked among the best small cities in the United States.
Like much of Illinois, Naperville, IL, has its roots firmly established in farming and agriculture, but its proximity to Chicago has enabled it to grow and thrive, finally becoming known as a vital city in its own right, home to many successful, wealthy individuals who enjoy the vibrant ambience of the city but crave the smaller hometown feel of Naperville, IL.
Recently, there was an article in The Sun in which some Naperville residents claimed that the contractor ripped them off (October 19, 2005). What could these homeowners have done to protect themselves from a potentially unscrupulous contractor?
First, the homeowners should have done some investigation about the contractor to determine whether there were prior claims against the contractor in court, the Better Business Bureau or the Illinois Attorney General's office.
