Storm chasers of dubious character
Hiring one of Charlotte’s best roofing companies requires homeowners to
be able to recognize and avoid storm chasers. This is not in reference to those
interesting and quirky amateur weather enthusiasts of reality TV fame. This is
in reference to unscrupulous operators masquerading as roofing contractors,
with their only goal being to separate you from your money.
They are called storm chasers because this is all that they do; they travel
into a hard-hit area going door to door offering their “services” to homeowners
with damaged properties. They offer a number of enticements such as helping the
customer to avoid paying an insurance deductible, or some other scam. They make
their profit by cutting corners on materials, and performing fast and cheap
repairs that they never intend to follow up.
Knowing when you are approached
by a storm chaser
Research the roofing company to determine how long they have been doing
business. Ask everyone for local references from projects that have been
performed in the past 12 months. If they have no local references from that
time period, it is prudent to dismiss them as a viable candidate for your roof
repair or replacement. Go one step further by enquiring with local building
supply companies to see if they have a good history of doing business with
these contractors.
