Attorney General Kris Mayes is warning Arizonans to protect themselves from home contracting and home construction scams. Her office recently prosecuted a fraudulent contractor who defrauded victims across Tucson out of $75,000 in unfinished home improvement projects.  
“Home improvement projects can be expensive, and with families struggling with just basic costs of living, I can understand why Arizonans may be tempted by a cheaper offer when faced with home construction needs,” said Attorney General Mayes. “But if you are diligent on the front end, you can save yourself a world of hurt on the backend. Do yourself a favor and go with one of Arizona’s over 60,000 licensed contractors when picking home improvement vendors.”
