Don’t Fall For These Common Roofing Scams

Sadly, over the years the roofing industry has gotten a bad name due to fly-by-night contractors and poor installers, leaving numerous homeowners wary of Kingwood roofer. Luckily, there are some ways to confirm if a company claims to be the best contractor in Texas actually is. This year, do not get taken for a ride by these roofing scams!

The Lowest Bidding

First off, you should be suspicious of any Kingwood roofing contractor that presents you with a “way too good to be true” estimate. Roofing is not an inexpensive home improvement project and like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Roofers that give out low bids will often time start increasing the price of the job after it begins due to unseen problems and increased material expenses. However, higher bids do not necessarily reflect the quality of service and craftsmanship you will receive.

Pro-Tip: Always read customer testimonials about the contractor you are thinking about hiring to work on your roof.

Obscure Damage

Most homeowners have no clue when it comes to roofing and a dishonest Kingwood roofing company will utilize that to their benefit. For instance, they may tell you that your entire roof needs to be replaced when in actuality a minor roof repair could buy you a few more years before a full replacement is necessary. It is always good to get a second opinion if your gut tells you something does not seem right.

Storm Chasers

You may have seen them at your front door after a heavy storm, or perhaps you received a telephone call from a pushy sales rep claiming you can get a free roof or some other exterior upgrade for free. Either way, be very cautious of the storm chasing contractor that goes around from town to town, they may not be there for you when you need them if something goes wrong a year or two after the install even though they claimed to have a workmanship warranty. Always check that the Kingwood roofing | roofing service you hire is insured, licensed, and been in business locally for at least five years.
