How to Recognize Unprofessional Roofing Service Providers
In the roofing industry, there are many roofing service providers who will promise impeccable work but they won’t be even close to it. You will have to learn to beware of the most common scammers. Here are they:
-
Door-to-door sales; If you see a roofer showing up at your front door without any upfront arrangement, this is a typical red flag for you. Many workers are just going from a house to house offering their “professional” services. They are polite and smiling but don’t fall for their kindness. They are usually targeting neighborhoods with lots of senior citizens offering to repair their roofs. So, if you see that kind of repairmen, you can simply say: “ No, thanks” and close the door.
-
The storm chasers; Another typical fraud is a team of roofers showing up after a rainstorm. They are explaining that after a storm, the roof inspection is a necessity and they can inspect and eventually repair your roofing system. No matter how logical that may sound to you, if you agree with that deal, they can even make some damage to a system that otherwise looks fine.
-
The high-pressure tactics; Some common roofing scams encompass high-pressure sales techniques. For example, you can hear from a repairman offering you to inspect and fix your roof at a low cost only today. Red flag! You should never accept such a deal. They are simply trying to get to your money not paying too much attention to what’s going on your rooftop.
-
The disappearing down payment; Some roofing service providers will try to convince you to pay a big amount of money in advance for materials and other supplies. This kind of fraud happens all the time. You have to be careful and refuse such a deal. From the moment they have your check in their hands, they may disappear never to return on the site.
