 Storm Damage Referrals
Minimize
With the recent severe storms in the Platteville area, there has been some major damage to vehicles, homes, businesses and other property.  We would like to remind members of the community that there are a significant number of chamber member businesses that can handle all of your needs for storm damage.
We are attaching a specific list of those chamber members who are ready to serve you with whatever your needs.  Please remember to support these businesses and practice your "ABC's" - Always Buy Chamber.
We have been receiving reports of out-of-area contractors who are in town soliciting work.  Please use due diligence when dealling with them.  We would recommend that you ask to see a driver's license and ask to see a certificate of insurance.  Also, we would suggest that no one "prepay" to have work done by any contractor they are not familiar with.
If you have any questions, please contact the Platteville Area Chamber of Commerce office at 608-348-8888. Thank you!
