Watch out for “storm-chaser” contractor fraud
HomeAdvisor, a website that connects homeowners with prescreened and customer-rated contractors, gives us tips to finding a reliable service person in the aftermath of Sandy.
Avoid “travelers” that go door-to-door soliciting work they never plan to provide.
A reputable contractor will never ask for cash and will never require that the entire job be paid up-front.
Before agreeing to any costly repairs, seek other opinions.
Home Advisor’s four questions to ask a contractor
How long have you been in business?
Can you provide a list of references?
Do you belong to any professional associations?
Are you licensed and registered with the state?
