Reputation: What to Look for in Window Companies

The Colorado Department of Law acknowledges that scams involving unscrupulous construction contractors are fairly common in the state. One specific scam involves shady contractors going from door to door, offering “free inspections” and special rates to homeowner who agree to pay upfront. What usually happens is that little to no work gets done, even if these purported “contractors” promise to return at a later date.

The scam may sound too obvious, but homeowners whose properties were ravaged by a storm may still fall for it out of desperation. As such, the Office of the Attorney General strongly encourages everyone to steer clear of these “traveling” contractors and instead work with reputable local companies. This is especially relevant for homeowners in Colorado, where not all roofing contractors who come knocking at your door may in fact be licensed to operate within the state.

To get this information, homeowners are advised to access online resources and consult with the local business office. A stream of positive reviews and a host of commendations from previous customers can serve as indications that you have indeed found the right contractor for the job. When in doubt, it is also advisable to contact the local District Attorney for more information about a particular company.
