The storm chasers
(The following is a
dramatization.)
They
always show up after a storm. That’s why they’re called “storm chasers.” They
are the scum of the roofing contractor world. Don’t let them into your home.
The thief
Tom
arrived at the Pritchett place just after a hailstorm. He made a lower bid than
any other roofing contractor, but asked for thirty percent as a down payment,
plus a fee for making the bid. Mr. Pritchett paid, and never saw Tom again.
The corner-cutter
Across
the street, Harry came to the García residence. He went by the insurance
adjuster’s inspection and didn’t ask for cash up front, so Mrs. García didn’t
feel suspicious. If she’d checked online, she’d have found that Harry’s roofing
contractor company was less than six months old, and had no business license,
liability listing or BBB rating.
Six
months later, the Garcías’ roof began leaking right where Harry had repaired
it, and Harry himself was nowhere to be seen. A more professional roofing
contractor reported that the work had been shoddily done with cheap materials.
And now, with winter coming, it would need to be redone.
