Wright County Sheriff Joe Hagerty would like to remind local residents to be wary of unscrupulous contractors using pressure tactics and deceit to sell their driveway repair services. Law Enforcement agencies continue to receive reports of contractors collecting money up front without completing repairs, 
starting repairs without permission, or offering free services and reduced cost services due to leftover material only in the end to bill home owners several thousand dollars over the negotiated price.
To help prevent yourself from falling victim to one of these scams the Wright County Sheriff’s Office recommends working with established companies, asking for references, verify references, getting multiple estimates, and to be cautious of companies requesting payment up front.If you believe you have been a victim of a scam or have information on a contractor using these tactics please contact your local law enforcement. In an emergency call 911, the Wright County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number is 763-682-1162.
