How to Avoid Roofing Scams and Ensure Quality Repairs
When a hailstorm hits, homeowners often face a slew of roofing companies offering quick fixes.
However, not all offers are genuine. At Triple Peaks Roofing & Construction, we prioritize the
integrity of our services and guide you through recognizing potential scams.
Spotting a Scammer
After severe weather, it’s common to see roofing companies canvassing neighborhoods,
promising free roof inspections and repairs covered by insurance. Unfortunately, not all of them
have your best interests in mind. Here’s how to discern a genuine contractor from a scam:
- Professional Inspections: Ensure that the person inspecting your roof is a qualified roofer,
not merely a salesperson. It’s essential to have an experienced professional physically inspect
your roof for hail damage. - Understand Hail Damage: Small hail (like pea-sized) rarely causes significant damage. Be
cautious of contractors who claim they see damage from the ground—true hail damage
assessment requires an on-roof inspection.
Key Red Flags
Several tactics used by fraudulent companies can mislead homeowners. Recognize these red
flags to avoid being taken advantage of:
- Out-of-Town Plates: Be wary of companies with out-of-state license plates. Often, these
businesses lack a genuine local presence and accountability. - Nonexistent Online Presence: In today’s digital world, absence on the internet or social
media can be a sign of an untrustworthy company. Always research a company’s reviews and
credentials. - Forced Contingency Contracts: Never sign any contract under pressure, especially those
promising to handle all insurance claims on your behalf. As the insured, you maintain control
over your insurance claims.
