5 Effective Ways to Avoid Scammers Targeting Roof Hail Damage

Contents

Credible roofing company avoid scammers

There are a lot of scammers targeting people whose roofs have been recently damaged by storms, especially in the case of hail damage. Since hail damage is highly destructive, you can expect a lot of less experienced roofers or scammers going from door to door offering their “skilled” services in exchange for a higher than average fee; after all, it’s an emergency service.

 

Unfortunately, these people are rarely able or willing to actually help you out, and they rely on the fact that most homeowners will be too distressed to actually look them up or ask them questions about their license. Among other things, that’s one of the best ways to avoid scammers:

 

  1. Ask for information about their license and past projects. Chances are they will already back down when you do that.
  2. Double check their claims by looking them up online and possibly even asking the online support service of a reputable roofing company.
  3. Ask them a few advanced questions about your roof that you have already researched online. If they can give you similar answers, you’ll know that they are quite knowledgeable.
  4. Inquire about any information regarding their insurance coverage and ask for a written estimate as well. Most scammers will not be comfortable with such requests.
  5. Simply avoid storm chasing roofers, and stick to a reliable local roofing company like https://www.roofonemichigan.com/ that you can easily track online, finding out everything you need through social media and the Better Business Bureau.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
