Aiming to Create a Society Where Exterior Wall Painting Can Be Safely Commissioned

We endorse April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of the production team behind the website 'Recommended Exterior Wall Painting Contractors,' operated by Winterheart Co., Ltd.

In recent years, troubles caused by unscrupulous renovation companies have become frequent in various regions, and are increasingly being reported as a social problem.

In particular, door-to-door sales tactics targeting the elderly and single-person households are common, and the number of consultations to consumer affairs centers and local governments is reportedly increasing year by year.

Typical methods begin with a sudden visit to the home, with phrases like "I'm working on a nearby construction project" or "We offer free inspections," creating anxiety. They emphasize that roofs, exterior walls, and water pipes are "dangerous as they are" or "subsidies are available now," leading to high-priced contracts for unnecessary or non-urgent work.

There have even been reports of malicious cases where usable housing equipment or roofing materials are intentionally damaged, falsely claiming they are "broken and need replacement," and then charging exorbitant fees under the guise of repairs.

 Furthermore, tactics abusing fire insurance and energy-saving subsidies have been confirmed, where companies solicit customers with promises like "your out-of-pocket expenses will be zero with insurance money," while actually performing work not covered by insurance or presenting unfairly inflated estimates.

The background to this is that the renovation industry has a lower barrier to entry compared to new construction, making it easy even for small businesses to start operations.

On the other hand, it is difficult for consumers to judge technical skill and trustworthiness, creating an environment where they are easily persuaded by "what the professional says." Unscrupulous businesses exploit this information gap to maximize profits from one-time transactions, leading to rampant exaggerated sales pitches and proposals for unnecessary work.

To prevent damage, it is crucial to first "not sign a contract on the spot."

No matter how much anxiety is stirred up, just taking the conversation home and getting estimates from multiple companies to compare them will make it easier to notice overpriced amounts or unnatural work details.

Additionally, checking the company's location, contact information, and track record, and if possible, referring to contractors introduced by local governments or public institutions, or reputations from people who have actually used their services, will increase peace of mind.

If you still feel suspicious, or if you have already signed a contract, it is recommended not to bear the burden alone, and to consult public consultation services such as the Consumer Affairs Center as soon as possible.

In some cases, the cooling-off system can be applied, and consulting with specialized organizations can help prevent the damage from escalating.

Now, with the increase in malicious renovation companies, it is imperative for each consumer to acquire basic knowledge and the ability to make calm judgments.
