Safety / Security for the Elderly - Tradesmen

Tradesmen - reliable, dependable, certified tradesmen:  The best way to hire professional tradesmen is to ask for referrals from friends or family. There are a lot of scam artists out there who are looking for a chance to take advantage of all of us but the elderly in particular. Asking for referrals is the perfect safeguard; however, you'll still want to interview them with another person present. You'll also want to get the estimate in writing and if possible take the time to get more than one estimate. When the time comes for the repair, also get it in writing to protect yourself from any discrepancies that may arrive.
