Dayton requires all home improvement contractors working within the city limits to register with the Department of Building Services. The number to call to see if your contractor is registered with the City of Dayton is 333-3883. Everyday the Better Business Bureau receives calls regarding home improvement work.
Many con artists try to scare homeowners into repairing their homes.
Or they may offer unbelievable low prices because they claim to have leftover materials. It is important to remember experienced contractors know how much material to order for each job. Another con is to start the work then ask for money to buy more materials. Once the con artist has the money, he fails to return. And you are left with no money and an unfinished home improvement job.
