Does this sound familiar?

After a storm, you realize that your roof needs to be patched up in a few places. One afternoon, a man shows up at your door claiming that he has just enough shingles left over from a job in the neighborhood to fix your roof as well. All he needs is a $500 down payment. What should you do?

Most likely, this man will either take your money and disappear, or do such a sloppy job that you will have to spend more money repairing the work that he did do. Never do business with anyone that just shows up on your doorstep without first checking their credentials.

Before you allow someone to do work on your home, carefully evaluate what you want done, get some recommendations and then check them out, make comparisons, get some estimates, and don't be rushed into signing anything too quickly.
