CONTRACTOR FRAUD ALERT
Navigating the world of home services can feel like traversing a minefield, with deceptive tactics and fraudulent schemes lurking around every corner. It's disheartening to witness homeowners falling victim to these ploys time and again. Here are some of the common traps I encounter in my industry.
Cheap Inspections, Costly Sales Pitches: Beware of offers for inexpensive system inspections, often a front for unscrupulous technicians to upsell unnecessary products or services. These individuals may lack the expertise to accurately assess your system's needs and instead push for costly replacements or repairs you don't actually require.
Diagnoses Leading to Expensive Solutions: It's all too common for repair diagnoses to conveniently point towards pricey system replacements or extensive repairs, complete with inflated prices for parts and labor. Don't be swayed by these tactics; seek multiple opinions and estimates before committing to any major work.
Long-Term Contracts with Little Value: Some contractors may try to lock homeowners into long-term agreements, such as warranties or service contracts, promising peace of mind but delivering little real value. Be wary of signing on the dotted line without fully understanding the terms and benefits.
Manipulated Online Reviews: Even online reviews, once a beacon of trustworthiness, have fallen prey to manipulation. Marketing companies and tech-savvy individuals enable unscrupulous contractors to manipulate or remove negative reviews, skewing their online reputation. Don't solely rely on review platforms; seek recommendations from trusted sources.
