Charleston official warns of unregistered contractors

Posted: Updated:

Unregistered contractors have arrived in Charleston and residents should be cautious, officials said.

Charleston Building Commissioner Tony Harmon is warning residents to not hire contractors who are not registered or from out of state, according to a news release from the city.

The contractors are here "under the guise of helping residents and businesses" affected by the recent storms, the news release states.

Legitimate contractors should be registered with the state and the city, the news release states.

Those with questions may call the Charleston Building Commission at 304-348-6883.
