The main purpose of your roof is to protect your home from weather extremes. However, it does not mean that it can’t develop damage during storms. To determine if you need a roof repair, you must schedule an inspection from a reputable professional.
Always be careful of who you hire after natural disasters because it’s when unreliable roofers are prevalent. Among the things they offer homeowners are “free roofs.” Read on to learn more.
Replacing a roof can involve substantial costs. It could be difficult to resist when someone claims they can do the job for free. If you accept this offer, you could end up committing insurance fraud. Offering “free roofs” is a common tactic scammers use to attract property owners.
Never trust a contractor who offers to pay your insurance deductible. It’s the same for people who recommend tweaking your insurance invoice to cover the deductible. These practices are against the law. Being involved in them can result in legal consequences.
Don’t hesitate to turn down roofers who hand out fliers or brochures offering free roofs. They are likely not from your town, and working with them has plenty of risks. It isn’t uncommon for these people to use substandard materials or do the work poorly. When your new roof develops issues months after installation, there’s a slim chance you could find them to address the damage. Avoid these problems by working with a licensed and insured local roofing company.
Always check credentials, ask for references and read customer feedback before hiring a contractor. It helps to ask your friends and family for roofer recommendations. You also want to select a company that specializes in the kind of roof you have.
