Insurance agents and local contractors in Madison are warning homeowners to be cautious of storm chasers scamming people in need of repairs after storm damage. Storm chasers are fraudulent repairmen who either do little to no work or fail to provide the services they promise. Matt Rostowfske, an independent agent with Greater Insurance Service, educates insurers about these scams to prevent issues. Homeowners are advised to find reputable local contractors and avoid paying for services upfront. Darin Gardner, Owner of The Gardner Company, recommends homeowners to have a local company assess any storm damage and guide them through the process. Following a recent hailstorm in Evansville, homeowners are being urged to be vigilant about contractors approaching them. It is important to verify the legitimacy of the contractor, their location, and their credentials before hiring them. Gardner and Rostowfske stress the importance of doing research and checking the credibility of contractors to avoid falling victim to scams.
