A senior citizen homeowner in Brooklyn found herself the target of a regrettable scam. A stranger approached her, claiming to be a local roofer who had spotted damage on her chimney. Despite offering a quick fix for $30, the anonymous man came down and insisted the damage was extensive, demanding $2500 instead. However, the homeowner was certain this was a scam as Brooklyn’s Best Handyman and General Construction had carried out a thorough roof and masonry project on her home just two months ago. Alarmed, she called the authorities and later discovered it was a common scheme. “Chimney repair service” from Brooklyn’s Best Handyman and General Construction, verified and reliable professionals in their field, was called the very next day. We discovered several bricks were indeed missing, presumably broken off by the supposed roofer. Our crew spent a few hours efficiently rebuilding it with bricks. Awareness of this widespread deception is crucial to avoid falling victim to it. For more insight on these fraudulent ploys, refer to this post here. Get an estimate today!
