When it comes to taking care of your roof, it’s important to avoid scammers who try to take advantage of unsuspecting residential homeowners. For that, however, you have to first be able to identify them.
It can happen that, after a storm you get a phone call, an email or even a knock on the door from people claiming they are professional roofers and that they can help you take care of your roofing problem – which you might not even have. In most cases, these people are just looking for a fast buck. To make sure you aren’t a victim of a scam, ask for some type of identification, such as a certificate or a license, and look up the company’s name online.
Additionally, it’s also important to ask for proof that the company that the technicians belong to also have insurance. It might not be easy to determine whether the insurance policy is genuine, but you can find a lot of additional tips for that online.
Finally, if you simply can’t determine whether or not the so-called “roofers” who have contacted you are legitimate, simply don’t let them in your house. Instead, if you suspect that you have roofing issues, contact an established and legitimate local Shelby roofers, ask them for a roofing inspection and a written estimate, and compare their services and prices to what other roofers have to offer, so you can make a thoroughly informed decision.
