Episode Details

After the devastating Hawk Fire, Reno homeowners are on high alert as unlicensed contractors flood the area, preying on chaos with slick scams. These out-of-state operators offer quick fixes, sometimes even bringing their own supplies, then demand upfront payments or push homeowners to inflate insurance claims — pure fraud. Legitimate contractors can be held accountable by the Nevada Contractors Board, but unlicensed scammers? They vanish without a trace. Red flags: no Nevada license, using someone else’s credentials, refusing contracts, or asking for cash up front. Always verify licenses via the state board’s website before hiring — and never assume help is harmless just because it arrives at your door.
