Warm weather is when the pests come out -- the kind who try to rip you off on home improvements, that is.
Transient con artists often solicit customers door to door, do shoddy or incomplete work and then skip town with the money when the authorities move in.
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry cautions homeowners to be skeptical of anyone who comes to the door unsolicited or uses high-pressure sales tactics.
Be suspicious of contractors who say they've just finished work on a neighbor's house and have just enough materials to do repair work on yours.
Other red flags: The person requests full payment before completing the work, gives you a post-office box without a street address or phone number or promises to do the work faster and more cheaply than any other company.
To avoid scams, NARI recommends you do the following when hiring a contractor:
-Get the name and address of the company.
-Get all details of the offer in writing, and review it carefully. Be sure that you understand everything in the contract and that any promises made orally are included.
-Find out how long the company has been in business. The Better Business Bureau (www.thebbb.org or 206-431-2222) can be a useful resource.
-Call trade organizations with which the company is affiliated to determine its legitimacy.
- Ask for references, and contact each.
- Check with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries www.lni.wa.gov/tradeslicensing/contractors to make sure a contractor is registered with a bond and insured.

Big Brothers was started in Seattle in 1957, and Big Sisters was started in 1973. In 1999, the two agencies merged. The branch that serves King, Pierce and Jefferson counties is based in Seattle.
Mission: The agency matches and provides support for adult volunteers and children to build one-on-one mentoring relationships.
Programs: The community-based program, one of the best-known Big Brothers Big Sisters programs, brings mentors and children ages 7 to 16 together two to four times a month for activities and outings. A school-based program targets the academic and social skills of children by bringing mentors and children 7 to 16 together for one hour a week on elementary, junior-high and high-school campuses. A separate program serves children 4 to 16 who have incarcerated parents. Big Brothers Big Sisters works with local jails and prisons to find family-friendly activities that include the child, the incarcerated parent and mentors.
Requirements: All volunteers must commit to at least one year as a mentor and must pass an extensive screening process, which requires three references, an in-person interview and a background check.
For more information visit: http://www.bbbs.org/pugetsound or call 877-700-2447. This information was originally printed in the Seattle Times on Sunday July 8th 2007.
