Who do you let in your house? Expert Search Tips - AZ Big Media

Summer is one of the most relaxing times of the year, but it can quickly become stressful if the air conditioning fails. To make matters worse, you could hire an "expert" who may be unreliable and may not be trusted. Home improvement scams resulted in an average loss of $ 1,800, according to a study by the Better Business Bureau.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right cleaning company that you can trust:

Do a thorough background check

If you're looking for a reliable cleaning company, check their reviews online on sites like Yelp.com and the Better Business Bureau. You can also check the company's social media pages and the comments on its posts to see if they are trustworthy. Having a Facebook Page allows users to rate and rate it, which can be a great way to find out if others are recommending their services.

Check their website

Check out their website and make sure they look legit. Some important check marks are reliable   Telephone number and address. Check the address through Google Maps to see if the location looks legitimate. You can also search your email to see if you have been flagged as a scammer.

Also, on a desktop or mobile device, you can see whether the website is secure or not. You can easily check the url bar in the top left corner of your screen and if the lock is green then it is safe.    

Find out if it's an LLC

A great way to check a company's legitimacy is to check that it is registered as an LLC. This means that they are a certified company in your state. To verify that a company is registered in Arizona, visit: https://ecorp.azcc.gov/EntitySearch/Index . This website confirms whether the LLC is active and the address at which the company is registered.

When you work with an illegitimate company, you run the risk of criminals stealing your social security number, getting their hands on your bank statements, and potentially getting your address and other personal information. In general, due diligence goes a long way when it comes to hiring a maintenance professional. You can also use trusted applications like SavonServices to connect to trusted service companies that have already passed a background check .
