I've had some growing pains myself, but now only deal with a contractor that can provide a line-item estimate before starting, can front the materials and labor and requires no payment from me until the work is complete to my satisfaction.  

This is not a commentary on anyone's intelligence, but on experienceSecond - stumbling blocks and stepping stones look a lot alike...the problem is that most people learn which is which by stepping on one.

We do block many ads for deceptive advertising, however I have not heard anything about this one.

(Sigh) I still feel the pain of it.After that dramatic experience (Baptism by Fire) as a newbie, I proceeded to rent to Section 8 for the next dozen or so years without much incident.I have many more (at least a dozen or so) but this is enough to make me take some Rolaids. 

There are brand new town homes that back up to the property (and more new ones being built a block away) that rent for $1300+ per month.
