“How do I avoid the ‘Price Pump’ scam and the ‘Bump and Dump’ contractor?”

“In Florida, many contractors use a ‘low-ball’ bait price just to rip your house apart and then ‘price pump’ for extras. Worse is the ‘Bump and Dump’ Slammer method, where they squeeze you for more cash and then abandon the project when the work gets tough. At db Home Improvements, we don’t play those games. We believe the Professional carries the risk, not the Consumer. We include up to three full sheets of plywood in every siding quote to handle typical rot. If the house needs more we can norammy see some sort of sign at the estimate We stay on it until the job is ‘Once and Done’—we never slam the tailgate and walk away.”
