****As Woodford County begins to recover from the recent storm, there will be many contractors who will be operating here to remove trees, repair roofs and other storm related damage.
The large majority of these will be honest, licensed and insured businesses with good reputations.
There will also be those intent solely to make money, providing sub-par work, grossly over charging for their work, or simply not doing the work after they have received payment.
We recommend that the following steps be taken when hiring contractors;
1- Insist on the contractor providing you their required occupational license from the city in which you live and from the Woodford County government.
2- Ask for proof of liability insurance and if possible, verify with the insurance is valid with their carrier.
3- Be very diligent in paying for materials up front. Many contractors may require this, so ensure before you make any payment that you have researched your contractor. The Better Business Bureau is a good resource.
4- Do not be pressured into allowing anyone to perform your needed work. If you think that your price quote is unusually high, try to get a second quote. Some contractors will attempt to gouge you.
If you have any knowledge of person who may be engaging in price gouging, please do not hesitate to contact us, the Versailles Police Department or the KY Attorney General Office.
