Contractor Problems in Kansas: Complaints and Your Options

Short answerIf a contractor job goes wrong in Kansas, here is what we could confirm on official pages: where to file a complaint, bond or insurance, contract and cancellation rules. Each item links to its source. Keep your contract, payments and photos.

Where to file a complaint

The Attorney General says every roofing contractor must hold a state registration certificate to provide roofing services for a fee in Kansas. Its site has a form to report an unregistered roofer, and consumers with more questions can call (800) 432-2310. Source

Bond or insurance

The Attorney General says a contractor should have personal liability, property damage and worker's compensation insurance for workers and subcontractors. The page does not state amounts or a bond requirement. Source

Contract and cancellation rules

The Attorney General advises getting everything in writing and insisting on a contract that states the work, the quality of materials, warranties, timetables, any subcontractors, the total price and the payment schedule. It says Kansas law guarantees you three days to cancel any purchase of $25 or more made in your home or at a location that is not the seller's permanent place of business or local address, and that the salesperson must verbally tell you of this right at the time of sale.
