MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — If you’re looking at repairs after a severe storm, don’t rely on a repair crew that just shows up at your house.
If you’ve got storm damage that still needs fixing, beware of traveling crews. Wisconsin Consumer Protection director Michelle Reinen says it’s not just home repairs that these scammers claim to deliver.
“It’s not just those who chase storms. We’re going to see in the fall those contractors who sweep through with other house maintenance types of work,” Reinen said.
If you do need work done on your property, contact a business that has a presence in your area, and check their reviews first. If you think you’ve been scammed, contact Consumer Protection at 1-800-422-7128.
