to Anchorage residents after receiving multiple complaints of door-to-door salesmen offering driveway paving and asphalt services for a fraction of the cost.
In an emailed response from APD Friday afternoon, community relations specialist Amanda Brimanis said the department “cannot release any names of businesses unless/until criminal charges are filed.”, said this is not the first time he’s heard of these scams within the state since opening his business 15 years ago — but it’s a common occurrence down in the Lower 48.
Schrage said the scammers don’t necessarily have a financial impact on his business, saying he’s more concerned that it’s creating mistrust between residents and reputable dealers. According to Schrage, door-to-door sales are not a standard practice in the paving industry, and homeowners should always get an official estimate from a company before hiring them to perform any work on their property.
