Don’t let a scam add to the damage
After a storm, it can be tempting to hire the first person who is available. Taking a few extra steps before agreeing to the work can help protect your home and your money.
Before hiring a contractor:
Compare more than one estimate when possible.
Ask for references and examples of similar work.
Confirm that the contractor carries appropriate insurance and any required licenses.
Make sure the price, materials, timeline, and payment schedule are included in a written agreement.
Avoid paying the full cost before the project is completed.
Be cautious of anyone who appears unexpectedly, pressures you to act quickly, or asks for payment in cash.
Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right, pause before signing a contract or making a payment.
