How to Avoid Roofing Nightmares!
With all the recent storms I've noticed a few roofing
companies I haven't heard of before. In our business they are called
Drive-By-Roofers. They visit
neighborhoods, often after storms, and quickly and carelessly slap a new roof
on your home, not taking into consideration critical factors such as
workmanship and dependable, long-lasting materials, not to mention a concern
for compliance with manufacturer's warranties, which can be void due to shoddy
installation techniques.
Another nightmare to avoid are the companies that say they
will complete your roof in X amount of time but drag on and on for weeks. We call those companies’ The Long Timers! Use
a reputable roofing company who have references that you can call and verify
their work. Get in writing the
approximate amount of time your roof should be completed.
Don't you just hate when a company says that they will leave
your property as they found it, then when they leave your yard looks like a
herd of elephants charged through? We
call those companies’ The Demolition Crews!
Not only are you trying to fix what they broke, repair your yard and
landscaping you are also stepping on roofing nails! Ouch! Again, check those references before
hiring!
My favorite are the Silent Treatment companies! They promise the world, ascend onto your
roof, don't offer any communication and then disappear without explanation. You
have no idea when they are to return to finish the job or if they're going to
finish at all. You call numerous times and leave just as many messages without
any response. You check the weather and
a huge storm is coming your way and your roof is only half done. What do you
do? You call Mr. Roofer so you can avoid
