AG Nessel is sharing important reminders as many Michiganders prepare for home improvement projects and the summer months create opportunities for scammers. Among the common issues raised about home remodeling work and window replacement in complaints to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Team are high-pressure sales, confusion over contract terms, poor workmanship, failure to honor warranties, incomplete job performance, overcharging, and threats of lien by the contractor. 

“If someone approaches you with a home improvement deal that seems too good to pass up, or pressures you to act right away, you should be skeptical. Before jumping into a major project, do your homework, get multiple quotes, and never hesitate to say no to an offer that isn’t best for you.” -AG Campbell
