It's a scam. They show up, get you to approve "cheap" work then in the process will do other work without permission or find "code issues" and all of a sudden a $200 job is now being billed as a $5,000-$20,000 job. They'll take the money and disappear, either having done a horrible fast job or not doing the work at all. The paperwork is likely all false names and addresses just enough to pass a light background check for when a neighbor does call the cops. This has been happening a boat load around New England this year.
