Homeowners urged to be wary of roofing scams in Limerick

People are advised to only use reputable or highly recommended service providers

LIMERICK gardaí have been made aware of a roofing scammer, who is offering a very competitive price to fix or replace a roof.

The scammer is placing ads in the newspaper and refers to these as if to prove he is legitimate.

Sergeant Ber Leetch of Henry Street garda station warned: “That is not the case, any person, criminal or otherwise, may advertise a service, this does not mean that they are to be trusted.”

Sergeant Leetch said that if a price seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

She urged people not to accept any work or services from someone who called to their home and only to use reputable service providers and those who have been recommended by someone you know and trust.
