“As the warm weather approaches scam artists and phonies will come out of the wood work, these people target our most valuable citizens, looking to steal as much as they can get away with. It’s very easy to fall prey to a smooth talker who just happens to have the perfect and cheaper solution to any problem,” says David Lupberger of ServiceMagic.
Here are some tips for homeowners to protect themselves:
• Scrutinize anyone who might perform home improvement services especially those who knock on the door and just happen to be in the neighborhood.
• Always demand to see proof of their permanent business address, proper identification and appropriate licensing and insurance before letting anyone in the home.
• Work out the details of the amount of the payment, the payment schedule and the scope of work (the details of what work is to be completed) before any money is exchanged and before work begins.
• Get everything in writing. Asking for a written estimate might discourage a con artist. Any reputable home improvement professional will understand they are competing for the business and should be happy to give a written estimate. This is a great way to judge the differences in professionalism and cost.
• Don’t rush. Do research. Using free resources such as, internet screening services like ServiceMagic, neighbors and references, one should be able to collect a great deal of information on potential hires.
