The Ulster County District Attorney’s Division of Consumer Affairs cautions homeowners to be wary of businesses who solicit door-to-door; be wary of pressure to have work done immediately; get a written estimate/contract beforehand and make certain the paperwork has the name, address and telephone number of the business; compare estimates before hiring; ask for references and check them; and always note license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions. For additional information, contact the Bureau at 340-3260.
