Hold Home Contractors Accountable For Fraud
When you place your home – and your trust – in the hands of a contractor, you expect reliable service. Still, not all projects end up meeting those expectations. In the worst cases, a bad home improvement project could lead to significantly higher expenses and hassle than anticipated.

Common Types Of Home Contractor Fraud
There are many different problems with home contractors that could warrant a claim under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, including:
- Practicing without proper registration, licensure or certifications
- Failing to obtain the correct permits or inspections
- Unnecessarily delaying work
- Collecting payment without full completion of services
- Violating terms of your contract
- Lying about the quality, availability or cost of materials
- Producing work that is incompetent by industry standards, such as installing a faulty roof or leaky plumbing
- Misrepresenting the costs, discounts or payment structure for the work
From unintentional half-truths to calculated lies, a contractor’s dishonesty can cause serious defects for your home or finances. Contractors have a legal responsibility to follow all regulations. Homeowners have a right to hold them accountable when they break the law.
