“Free” Roofs: Do They Really Exist?

You might have seen a flier or advertisement claiming you can get a roof for free. It usually comes from people who suddenly come to your doorstep following a weather event. If someone offers to replace your roof at no cost, it’s best to decline it. Learn why from one of the area’s leading roofing contractors. 

The Truth About “Free” Roofs

Unreliable contractors use free roofs to lure and take advantage of homeowners. They may approach you and offer to pay for your deductible or endorse deductible reimbursement. Some recommend increasing insurance invoices to pay for the deductible. Unfortunately, all of these are against the law. If you participate in these scams, you could face legal consequences. 

Tips to Make the Most of Your Roof Replacement

Obtain Multiple Quotes

Getting quotes from at least three different roofing companies will help you find the right one for your project. When comparing estimates, price isn’t the only factor you should consider. Take note of each contractor’s experience and expertise. Their certifications and the manufacturers they work with also matter. 

Research Before Hiring

Before hiring a contractor for your roof replacement project, be sure to do your research. Look into the background of your prospective roofers. Read reviews from previous customers, check their websites and ask for references. It’s also a good idea to check their status with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). 

Beware of Storm Chasers 

A reliable professional will never pressure you to sign a contract unless you are ready. They won’t ask for large amounts of money or full payment until the project is complete. Beware of storm chasers or out-of-town contractors who go to neighborhoods recently affected by extreme weather. These individuals often use substandard materials. They might do the job poorly or suddenly disappear without completing the installation.
