In the Town of Herndon, homeowners, regardless of income levels, have an ally on their side when dealing with contractors. Whether adding a room, updating a kitchen, or even getting rid of pests, Town staff person Cory Laws can help consumers spend less time selecting a contractor and avoid costly mistakes and misunderstandings by reviewing written agreements before execution.

As per The Connection Newspapers, "Laws has been the Housing and Neighborhood Improvement Coordinator for the Town of Herndon since 2019. The position is funded in part by a HUD Community Development Block Grant through Fairfax County, with other costs covered by the Town. When COVID-19 hit in March, the problem Laws faced became what kind of service could he provide when people didn't want him in their homes, and neither did the Town, each wary of possible coronavirus transmission."
According to The Connection Newspapers, "Laws currently reviews contracts from large-scale additions to even the smallest project obtained by the Town of Herndon homeowners. Resident and homeowner Carolyn Wright contacted Laws when she needed a new stoop and railing. "He (Laws) was instrumental in helping me find somebody that could do this, and not a minute too soon...We went over the contract to make sure it was okay… He's had experience in those areas… Cory's going to be my go-to-man," Wright said."
