Be Careful of These Three Roofing Scams

No matter what kind of industry you’re in, there are ill-minded individuals who are looking to take advantage of inexperienced customers or their dire situations. Make sure you’re aware of these situations, and only trust vetted contractors to ensure that your roofing project all goes well. Today, we review three of the most common roofing scams.

Storm Chasers

Storm chasers are dubious roofers who appear, just like their namesake, after a storm has passed an area. They go from place to place to search for homeowners that need their services. They typically operate by going door-to-door and offer their services to unsuspecting homeowners. Storm chasers lure their customers into using their services by offering promos that sound too good to be true. They also ask for a steep upfront payment. Typically, they do shoddy workmanship or nothing at all, and make a run for it once you’ve completed payments. To avoid this, trust local contacts, or ask relatives for a referral for contractors they’ve worked with previously.

Overcharging or Undercharging

It’s a wide-known fact that residential roofing projects require a significant investment to be completed. However, it can be difficult to distinguish whether your roofing breakdown is too expensive or too cheap. To get a better understanding of the actual cost of your roofing job, we advise you to get at least four to five quotes from different contractors and compare them.

Unnecessary Repairs

While it’s a good thing for your contractors to be meticulous about the roofing project, some of them are just out there to milk extra cash out of you by conducting unnecessary repairs. To prevent this, make sure you ask a lot of questions about the project, or consult other specialists to see what kind of repairs are truly necessary for your roof.
