There are numerous ways you can find a reputable contractor. Aside from giving out accurate estimates and getting the job done right, a good contractor understands that being ethical is important to establish trust with the client and community. If either party engages in unethical practices, the relationship will quickly turn sour. In turn, this can affect the progress of the entire project.
The best way to avoid these issues is by conducting thorough research and working with highly rated companies in the local area. A company’s written standards can also be an indicator of their ethical commitment. Learn more about the principles by which DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen operates.

Examples of Unethical Behavior
Unethical behavior often starts with a small act that grows into big misdeeds that affect the entire company. If you notice that someone from upper management is engaging in unethical behavior, you might assume that those around them are following suit. Here are some common examples of unethical behavior:
- Hiring illegal immigrants. Some companies employ illegal immigrants. Oftentimes, these workers are held against their will, forced to work long hours and paid below-minimum wage.
- Housing workers in dirty accommodations. All workers deserve to be treated fairly. After all, they’re the feet on the ground that make a project possible. It’s best practice to provide workers with suitable accommodations when working long distance.
