Know Your Roofing Company: Who’s Knocking at Your Door?
Most homeowners are at the mercy of roofing companies who are really sales people that are looking for unsuspecting homeowners. They come out in droves knocking on homeowner’s doors usually after a bad hail storm. These sales people are known as “storm chasers” who flood neighborhoods knocking on doors and leaving pamphlets right after a bad storm looking for business. Finding a trustworthy roofing company is tricky so contacting your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a better resource. Homeowners would be wise to choose a roofing company that has been accredited with the BBB for several years with an A+ rating.
Every year these “storm chasers” and roofing company “pop-ups” will usually sign-up with the BBB. The date they sign-up is an important sign to the homeowner as if the roofing company is local, has a good rating of A+ and if they have been established as a roofing company for several years. If not, these are the ones to avoid! The roofing company that JUST signed up after a storm. Anyone with a rating lower than a A- should be avoided also.
Contractor’s referral sites usually aren’t a good resource for homeowners. Most of these referral sites are a business to make money off of any contractor who is willing to pay money to be listed on the referral site. The more money the roofing company is willing to pay the referral site, the higher up they will be on the list.
Is There Real Damage On Your Roof?
As a homeowner that cannot climb up on the roof or prefers not to, looking at the metal roof vents can have tattle-tell signs. Look for large dents and or collapsed vents, gas exhaust vents that do not look round any longer, or large dents on the inside of gutters.
Be careful to not let just anyone who claims to be a roofing company up on your roof. Except for honest roofing companies like Northwest Roofing, almost all “door knockers” will claim that your roof is totaled. These sales people or storm chasers, will say anything to get a homeowner to let them on the roof. If there is not the damage they are looking for, some people will actually “quarter spin” the roof to add damage and the homeowner will never know any different unless they actually see them do it.
