Industry Tips

Door To Door Remodeling/Repairs

Con artists who prey upon homeowners, especially senior citizens, show up at your door, call you at home, or send you direct mailings, offering a variety of products and services ranging from household goods to magazines and from tree trimming to roof repair. Some may offer to pave your driveway with leftover materials from a previous job, mow your lawn or remodel your home for a very low price. Oftentimes, these fly-by-night operators will drive vehicles with out-of-state license plates or have a drivers license from another state. They may set up temporary offices and obtain a business license when they move into town.
How do you know if it is a con artist, or a schemer? The BBB offers a few tell-tale signs of a con artist:

·Beware of "too good to be true" offers.
·Will try to pressure you into making a decision that day, even going so far as to send a courier to pick up the money.
·Will not give straight answers to your questions, or fail to answer a question.
·Will not submit any information in writing, or not put their promises in a contract.
·They want you to pay cash or make out a check to an individual, instead of a company.
Before you deal with any one you don't know, or are unsure of, take time to do the following:
·Obtain the name and address of the company that person purports to represent. If the person does not represent a known business, and the circumstances suggest an itinerant contractor or sales representative, ask for and contact, references.
·Get all details and oral promises of the offer in writing and carefully review it. Make sure you understand everything in a contract.
Remember, contract promises and warranties are only as good as the company standing behind them.
·Make sure the salesperson has provided you with the proper "notice of cancellation" forms if you are solicited at your home. This is required by the Federal Trade Commission.
·Verify that any contractor you are considering doing business with is properly licensed, bonded and insured.
·Determine how long the company has been in business and check out the company with BBB and the State Consumer Protection Office.
·If you've checked references and the company's reputation, and you decide to hire the company, make any checks payable to the company and not to an individual. Do not pay in cash.

Remember, any legitimate company that wants your business will be more than willing to allow you time to "check them out". Don't fall prey to high pressure tactics such as "this is the only chance you'll have" or "by tomorrow the extra materials will be gone," or "I'm only in this area today." If you have an expensive repair, or project, be especially cautious of these offers. Investigate before you invest.
