Storm Victims Beware of Crooked Contractors
Posted on Mon, Feb 07, 2011
The series of storms this winter has continued to wreak havoc in communities locally and across Massachusetts resulting in collapsing roofs, water damage from ice dams, and vehicles damaged from falling ice and chunks of snow.
With all this destruction, there is plenty of opportunity for crooked contractors to take advantage of homeowners looking to remedy the damage to their property.
Victims of any disaster should watch out for dishonest service providers when it is time to repair or rebuild their home. Check out this video from the Insurance Information Institute on how to protect yourself from unscrupulous contractors.
Before disaster strikes, make sure you understand the steps for filing a homeowners insurance claim. Contact your insurance agent with any questions about this process.
