Don't Get Scammed by False Storm Chasing Companies

 

This public service message is courtesy of Dirks Heavy Contractors.  Following the recent weather and hail storm, you need to beware of potential scams by storm chasers offering repair services.

 To protect yourself, keep these things in mind to avoid scams:

Ask for copies of their business license.

Verify insurance coverage.

Get multiple quotes.

Check references.

Make sure to read contracts carefully.
