Top 3 Roofing Scams and Ways to Avoid them


 
Home Improvement
Roofing scams are not entirely uncommon, and are more frequent when your need is urgent. Of all the components to your home, your roof is probably the most important and the most overlooked, until there is a problem. These problems are slow to be detected but the effects are quickly felt and the worst to handle. Roofing scams take advantage of this vulnerability. The basic motivation is to separate you from your money. All of them play on your fears and lack of insider knowledge to take advantage of your bad situation. The three common scams are discussed below:

Most owners will take the time to check many contractors and get multiple quotes. However, everyone is tempted to check out the lowest quote. The contractor explains that his contractors will get over the top material and will go about fixing things that do not need replacing. However, once you pay him the deposit, the cost will keep increasing citing one or the other replacement.

To avoid this, you need to get referrals from neighbors and friends. Stick to contractors who are recommended and known for their work. Also, don't pay more than 30% of the agreed fee.

Some contractors send you workers and not just any workers; there is a new face everyday until you don't recognize anyone from the team. When you contact him, he says his workers were called for an emergency job and this team belongs to his friend or his relative. Suddenly the new contractor makes changes to the replacement plan as well as to the budget. The situation reaches a point where you either pay or the work stops. Once you pay and speak to your old contractor, he reprimands you for paying without consulting him.

You can avoid such confusion by getting a written contract and proof of insurance about the workers who will be working in your home. This gives you the right to not allow any other worker on your premises.

There will be a sales professional who will come to your door and make you believe that your roof does need repair and that you are lucky you found him. This person will offer you promotional free consultation and then point out problems in your roof. He will also use terminology that makes you want to hire him to solve your problems. He will also charge an outrageous amount but will seem to completely justify it by pointing out several problems and reciting the names of materials and tools along with labor charges.

You can avoid falling prey to this scam; first and foremost, do not finalize any deal on the spur of the moment. Ask the sales professional to give you more information about his company and the projects that they have undertaken. Tell him you will make an appointment with him after getting a few referrals. This will let the scammer know that you are not someone who can be fooled.

Now that you are aware of the major scams, you can be wise and avoid being another victim of these scammers.
