2. Leave Honest Online Reviews About Scams.
The best protection against scams is communal protection when you and the people in your community are actively working to keep each other safe. So make sure that you play your part in protecting your friends, family, and neighbors from home renovation scams. Did you find a good home renovation company or independent contractor? They did solid work on your house without any financial mishaps. There was nothing about needing extra funds partway through the project or providing a grossly misleading quote. If that is the case, let people know.
Was everything done on time and of the best quality possible? Share on social media by posting reviews on websites like Twitter. Even better, sites such as Yelp and Google for direct reviews. If the contract has a Facebook business page, make sure you comment. Spare people the pain of losing their shirts in a home renovation scam by letting them know whom to work with.
