Be alert for maintenance frauds
LANCASTER Each year
consumers lose many hard-earned
dollars to home repair frauds and
schemes. Warm weather brings
out the fly-by-night operators, says
Delaware extension family living
agent Mary Alice Morris.
Be wary if a traveling handyman
claims he happens to be in the
neighborhood and offers to give
you a free estimate. He may come
down off your roof with a handful
of shingles and claim that your
roof needs to be repaired.
If you do need roof repairs,
contact a local roofer who has been
recommended by someone you
trust.
Also, don’t be talked into repairs
by a high-pressure salesman who
promises to stop roof leaks by
applying a roof coating.
Be careful of someone who says
he’s working in the area and has
just enough materials to resurface
your driveway. He may even offer
you a bargain price. His materials
and work may be slipshod or
ineffective and may wash away
with the first ram or stay sticky for
weeks.
