The Hobart Police Department newsletter warns residents to ask for identification when strangers come to their door. On the phone, never give out personal information to strangers; many homeowners are taken advantage of by companies or workers, paying for work that has not been done or poorly done.
To avoid such cases, before you sign a contract or pay out money, call the Hobart Building Department at (219) 942-1722 to make sure the company is licensed with the city.
