Home improvement scams take many forms, but most involve a contractor who demands upfront payment in a form that is difficult to trace (like cash or a prepaid debit card) and/or says he needs to obtain a building permit before beginning work. They may also falsely claim that they can do inexpensive post-disaster repairs and get reimbursed by your homeowners’ insurance.
