The $20 Billion Mistake: How Bad Contractors Are Costing Americans Big
A Hidden Epidemic in Home Repairs
Each year, millions of Americans try to invest in their homes—only to be met with botched jobs, shady contractors, and thousands in unexpected costs.
Whether it’s an unfinished roof or faulty plumbing, the consequences go far beyond frustration. They impact wallets on a massive national scale.
According to recent surveys, around 10% of U.S. homeowners—roughly 8.3 million households—deal with poor-quality or fraudulent home repairs each year.
On average, each affected homeowner loses about $2,426 on bad work, additional repairs, or damages.
🧮 That adds up to:
~$20.1 billion per year
Or over $55 million every single day
In more extreme cases, losses can exceed $5,000 or more, pushing the national total to nearly $40 billion annually.
Why Does This Happen?
Many homeowners fall victim to:
Suspiciously low quotes that cut corners
Unlicensed contractors who vanish mid-job
No written contracts
High-pressure sales tactics—especially targeting the elderly
In fact, 1 in 3 homeowners say they would hire a “questionable” contractor if it meant saving money in the short term.
