When you are searching for a contractor, it is imperative you are aware of potential contractor scams. There are groups of criminals, generally temporarily passing by, that pose as door-to-door repair contractors to rip off owner-builders with painting, roofing and paving scams. Watch out for the following red flags with suspects who come across as friendly and solicit door-to-door; are reluctant to give an up-front price or provide a written contract; demand payments in cash; immediately cash checks and sometimes changing the amount before cashing; drive customized newer vehicles with out-of-state license plates; use toll-free numbers instead of local phone numbers; and offer complimentary inspections and then offer to fix them. Their scamming method usually consists of using left over material from other jobs, use cheaper but less reliable materials, push for new wood shakes under old roofing shakes and charge by the can for painting and then exaggerate the amount they actually use.
