Know the Signs of a Home Improvement Scam

I know how it is.  Sometimes homeowners are concerned about calling a contractor to their home for a problem.  They know they want a tune-up or repair, but they're expecting the contractor to try to talk them into getting more than they need.  It's such a common concern that I want to reassure you that we do things differently here. 

Our techician will come out for a thorough evaluation of the problem you've been experiencing.  We'll presnt a solution that we recommend.  We'll fully explain the reasoning behind this recommendation, and we'll put the estimate and guarantees in writing so you won't have any surprises.  Not only that, you always have the choice to say "no" or "not now".  There's no pressure at all.  And, should you have any additional concerns, we stand behind our work.

We used advance technology to make sure you get the best evaluation and repair.  And we keep your comfort and safety formost in our mind.  So call us whenever you need us.

In the meantime, if you want to get a better sense about the people working in your home, take a look at this video that could help you know what to watch for when approached by a home improvement contractor.
