Roofers: How To Avoid Roofing Scams?

Contents

quality roofing legit roofers

Roofing scams tend to appear at people`s door after a storm. They know that homeowners are most worried about their roofs after severe weather phenomena, so these con artists will exploit their anxieties.

It is important to recognize them and stay away from them, because you will get nothing but frustration for your money.

The first warning sign is that these so-called roofers appear without being called. They may pretend being there because they have another project in the neighborhood and offer you surprisingly low rates. Just remember that a reliable roofing company does not come to you unless you contact them first and discuss the initial details. There may be roofing sales teams canvassing neighborhoods, but they will only present you offers, not use persuasive techniques to trick you into any fishy contract.

Do not make any arrangements with people showing up to your door and inviting themselves in, to fix you roof. You take a risk even if you allow them to do a free inspection of your roof, because it is not uncommon for roofing scams to fabricate damage, just to make you believe that your roof needs to be repaired.

Never agree to make any large down payment up front and do not talk with these people unless they can hand you their license, certifications and insurance papers.

Do not be ashamed to say “No, I am not interested”, no matter how friendly and well-intentioned seems the person in front of you.  You can tell if the professional roofing Canton MI experts are legit, they will have a locally owned shop and have a professional website.

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!
