Scammers may cause more damage than severe weather

While Naperville, Woodridge and the surrounding areas recover from the tornado and high wind damage, local municipalities are warning residents to be aware of potential scams. After a storm of this magnitude, residents may find themselves overwhelmed with unsolicited contacts from companies wanting to provide a free estimate for repairs. You should contact your homeowner’s insurance directly for any storm related damage.

Even if you do end up working with a contractor you should read online reviews including social media and Better Business Bureau and review the contract thoroughly to ensure expectations (including completion time) are clearly in writing.

Check with your municipality for rules and regulations solicitors and peddlers, even from reputable businesses.
