Dallas Christmas Light Installer Maria Perez, President of Dallas Curb Appeal, warns about season scams.
A nicely lighted home exudes holiday cheer.
Happy Holidays Yall! Tis the season to be jolly—that’s if your fortunate enough not to have been taken for a ride—and I don’t mean on a sleigh.
Time and time again I’ve heard stories about an unsuspecting homeowner with visions of sparkling roof lines and glistening trees that ended up with a dark house, an empty wallet and a Bah Humbug holiday. Don’t let this be you or someone you care about.
Know what and who to watch for. That unbelievable price isn’t Karma making it back to you. That great price can be a signal of at best inexperience and at its worse-a con mans great scheme. Get at least 3 estimates and make your choice based on your budget, the actual services offered, quality of materials to be used, number of years in business, and your overall instinct on the salesman expertise and character.
Always avoid contractors that require full payment upfront. Most contractors will request a deposit up front to cover materials and labor –just in case you’re the distrustful one in the relationship. Do not pay in full until the lights are taken down and do not give anyone money without something in writing that states that they agree to provide the service as agreed. In this economy you will find a lot of “Have Ladder will travel” kind of companies. They can be easily overwhelmed and can go out of business quickly, taking your money and lights with them. Avoid companies with unmarked cars, cash only sales and hard sales pitches. Don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions, may I have a copy of your insurance, do you have a contract and or warranty. Lights that don’t work are not as much fun for the holidays.
