Home Repair Scam Alert
Beware of home improvement scammers that come day after day,
knocking on your door to repair never-ending problems with your home. One day,
they will offer to trim trees. Progressively, they will point out additional
yet needless problems that need attention, such as repairing roofs or sealing
driveways. These scammers usually request funds upfront for needed materials
and most with your cash in hand do not come back to finish the jobs. Most are
not even qualified to perform such tasks. Most reputable contractors are too
busy to knock door-to-door for your business. However, if you do choose to
engage in such services, make sure the contractor is licensed, insured and
bonded to do the work in your county if license is required. Also, if a permit
is necessary, make sure they pull up the correct permits. If they say they do
not do that, then skip the company and find a contractor that does.
