Protecting Yourself from Contractor Fraud
Since Katrina, contractor fraud has been a serious problem in New Orleans. To protect yourself from fraud, take the following precautions:

Be very hesitant about giving money up front.

Create a written contract that states every task that the contractor will complete.

Ask for proof of insurance. The best way to do this is to ask for a certificate of general liability insurance with the homeowner’s name listed as a certificate holder. With this document, the insurance company will contact the homeowner if the contractor cancels his policy.

Check the contractor’s references. You can also go to the Better Business Bureau website to see if any complaints have been filed against them: www.neworleans.bbb.org

Keep all receipts for anything related to the contractor’s work.
