East Lyme The chief of police is warning residents to be leery of home improvement scams in the wake of multiple cases of shoddy driveway paving work.
Chief Michael Finkelstein said two homeowners in town were approached by someone offering them a deal to pave their driveways with leftover material from another project in the area.
Finkelstein said any residents approached in such a manner should do their due diligence to make sure there s a contract in place, and should inspect the material being used and research the person or company providing the service. Some people will unfortunately prey on doing (the work) immediately, grabbing the money from you and leaving. And that s always a concern, because you don t have the time to look into what they re trying to offer you, he said.
