Roofing contractors to avoid

Roofing contractor in Charlotte, NC
Frauds and mediocrities

Finding a good roofing contractor is very important. To avoid the true frauds, look for a company that has been in business for ten years or more. Less than one tenth of one percent of contractors are able to stay in business for this long, and dishonest ones are the first to go. They usually come back later, so if you do decide to go to a new business, carefully check the background of the owner. Don’t hire “storm chasers” who show up at your front door right after your roof has suffered damage from the weather. Above all, never do business with a roofing contractor who only accepts cash or demands all or most of the payment up front.

To find a contractor who will do a better than mediocre job, try a local, family-owned company — they depend on their reputation. Ask your neighbors, friends and family in the area for recommendations. Get bids from six or seven roofing contractors, and ask for details on the work, materials, cost and terms of payment. If in doubt, go with one of the bids in the middle. Check every contractor for licenses, permits and insurance.
