Warning Signs of A Bad Contractor

Unfortunately for buyers, the home improvement and paving industries run rampant with “fly-by-night” contractors posing as legitimate businesses and scamming innocent homeowners. After you give these people your hard-earned money, you will never see them again and their phone lines are suddenly disconnected.

Protect yourself from illegitimate businesses looking to con you by looking for these three warning signs.

• Unsolicited visits. Be suspicious of businesses who travel door-to-door in unmarked trucks. These people will often point out “problems” that you didn’t know you had say things like “we just finished a job down the road and have some extra materials, we can give you a great price.” If you get a visit from someone like this, tell them to scram.
  
• High pressure sales tactics. If you are dealing with a paving contractor who tells you that their quoted price is only good for the next 24 hours, they are using a high-pressure sales tactic to get you to hand over your money before you have time to do your research. Never sign the dotted line without knowing exactly who you are doing business with.
  
• Low-ball pricing. If the price they give you seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Asphalt paving requires heavy machinery, expensive equipment, and a team of workers to get the job done right - the price they give you should reflect that.
