It's that time of year where fraudsters and substandard contractors take the road less traveled with driveway and pavement scams.
For many homeowners the most important road they travel on is their driveway.
If you need paving, concrete replacements or repairs, don't trust anyone to do the job. It's easy to end up with a substandard contractor or even scammers who literally take your money and run, never to return.
Scam survivors report significant dollar losses, driveways crumpling and settling uneven, and in some cases, unfinished.
Homeowners should always check ratings and reviews of companies before signing any papers or handing over money.
Get multiple estimates and ask for references. The cheapest quote is not always the best deal.
