Home Repair and Remodeling Scams to Watch Out For

Posted by Writer - July 23, 2019 - Bathrooms

Remodeling your home can make it a more livable space and increase your property’s value. However, not everyone is a fair operator who will provide quality remodeling and, unfortunately, plenty of homeowners fall prey to scams every year. Even normally savvy consumers may make poor decisions when they’re presented with a lower price on costly projects.

That’s why you want to make sure to do your research on bathroom remodelers in Jackson, MS before making any final decisions. Here’s how to stay ahead of the curve and spot scammers before they take advantage of you:

  • Fake mistakes: One kind of scam artist will go around your home citing everything that’s wrong with it and all the mistakes a previous contractor made. Your first instinct is that you never noticed these “problems” before and that they don’t seem to be causing any issue. That’s because the con artist is fabricating problems with your home and hoping that you don’t pick up on it. For example, copper pipes in homes last up to 50 years, but this scammer may tell you that you have a leak in the copper piping and the entire system needs to be removed and replaced. If you encounter this, it’s best to ask for a second opinion from a licensed contractor before going forward.
  • The model home: Sometimes contractors will solicit business by saying that they’re creating model features to show off to potential customers. They’ll give you what appears to be a very low price on bathroom or kitchen remodeling, allegedly in exchange for showing off the work to others. But the problem is that while these cheap remodels look good, they’re often ready to break down immediately. Poor ventilation systems, bad drainage and other issues pop up after a few months—by which time the contractor who did the work is long gone. Do your research on a site like Yelp and see what other customers are saying before you hire the remodeling contractor.
  • Providing financing: Some contractors will come offering low-interest financing to encourage homeowners to get started on a remodeling project. But the reality is that the contractor is either receiving kickbacks for the referral or skimming cash for themselves. In some cases, the loans are completely different than what the contractor initially tells you. Make sure you do your homework with an attorney or a financial professional before entering into any kind of arrangement.
