I do agree people fib all day about references, People to vouch for them etc..
So make sure the most recent job is completed and they are Happy .
Then go back to the end and see what they may say about it..
You don’t have to stop at one or two ..Keep going ..

It was very sad and 100% true. One thing I forgot to mention was that they had to get a mortgage to finance their new (rebuilt) home. They went from retirement to working again *with a mortgage* in the space of about 2 months.

I tried to get them to listen to me, but they thought they were experienced with con men having lived in the northeast (Connecticut and New York City) for most of their lives.

We had just came through a major hurricane and the place was rife with storm chasing contractors. Most did great work and were real heroes to people who needed a roof over their heads. A few were marginal at best and a small minority were con men. It was that small minority that gave everyone else a bad name and made the nightly news.
