Walk It Through: The Salesman at the Door

A roof contract signed on the porch, second thoughts the next morning, and claims that were not true.

A roofer knocks, says the roof is failing, and gets a homeowner to sign a contract on the porch.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A home repair sale made at the door. A sale at the seller's place of business, a contractor who has already done the work, and a home improvement fraud prosecution are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
