Contractor Fraud: Protect Yourself

Contractor Fraud: Protect Yourself

Your home is likely the most expensive and valuable property you will own in your lifetime -it’s an investment and a lot of work. There’s always something to repair or improve and it’s often worth it to hire a professional. This is where most people call a contractor to do the work for them - but be cautious when seeking to hire someone for home improvements. Unfortunately there are scammers, and even legitimate contractors that just don’t care.

How to protect yourself:

Choose a contractor who is on time and organized for your estimate appointment - this demonstrates a value for your time.
Their estimate is detailed and makes sense. If you’re confused about what exactly the price represents… proceed with caution. As a consumer you have right to know what you’re paying for.
They have a contractor’s license (you can verify its validity at http://www.cslb.ca.gov/), insurance, and a warranty.
Lastly, common sense. If this person has no signage on their vehicle, no business card, their price is miles below everyone, or they are able to do the work much sooner than any other company - it’s time to ask yourself, “Why?”

Brooks Painting has been serving Yolo, Sacramento, Solano, and Placer counties since 1997, and would be proud to assist you with cabinet, residential and commercial painting projects. To schedule your free estimate call 530-753-5074.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!

They treat their employees in a fair manner resulting in happy workers. Company is well run. I really like the crew that was here, they were very comfortable to have around.

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
