Avoiding Residential Roofing Scams – What Can You Do to Protect Yourself?

Contents

Licensed Contractor

 

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.

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!
