Home Improvement Scams

Home Improvement scams come in a variety of flavors. On the less serious end, a contractor can very simply breach a contract and not perform to a contract or which he or she agreed. However, a contractor may also never intend to do certain work nor have the ability to do certain work from the outset thereby deceiving the consumer into purchasing a home improvement contract from them. We have also seen cases involving contractors who do not conform to City Building Codes causing substantial damages to the consumer, as well as certain unlicensed home improvement contractors engaging in work and then illegally seeking money from the consumer. Other examples we have experience are the fraudulent inducement of a consumer into a modification of a contract requiring the consumer to pay more for work that should have been done under the original contract, but as alleged by the contractor is necessary to be further compensated.
