What are the
duties of a Trooper?
Pennsylvania State Police Troopers
provide and maintain traffic enforcement and control, crime scene response and investigation,
public order, staff support, and security for the citizens of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Troopers often work independently and are required to recognize immediate
problem areas. Troopers must make responsible decisions and take the appropriate corrective
action without the benefit of close supervision. Troopers often operate in situations that are
stressful and dangerous.

When interviewing a contractor,
follow theses guidelines:
Once you have
selected a contractor
Always get a written and signed
contract for the job, no matter how big or small it is.
If a building permit is necessary, have
the contractor secure it in their name.
If you are dealing with an insurance
claim, check with your insurance company to see if an inspection needs to be done prior to the start of
the project.
Pay for the job with a credit
card or check and get a receipt. Never pay a contractor in cash.
If your contractor has made
mistakes on the job and tells you they need more money, do not give it to them. It is the contracr's
responsibility to fix their own errors.
While the work is being completed:
Secure all valuables in the
house; do not leave them out where they could be damaged or stolen.
If you notice what appears to
be a problem with the job, photograph it before discussing it with your contractor.
If your contractor tells you
the job price has gone way up, only pay what you agreed on in the contract.
After the work is completed:
Almost 80% of people say that a contractor may be
fraudulent if they are hesitant to provide proof of insurance.
