Tips for Avoiding Fraud

  • Stay patient, research companies and resist the urge to make quick decisions in the moment;
  • Ask people you trust for the name of a reliable contractor;
  • Avoid fly-by-night companies and use local companies that are established in the community;
  • Obtain written estimates from multiple companies;
  • Be cautious if an individual or business asks for a substantial up-front payment or cash payment;
  • Use your best judgement. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
