Unfortunately, roofing scammers are at it again. Storm victims can be easy targets to con-artists, posing as contractors, post-hail storms.
NBCDFW recently aired a story on this topic, warning consumers to do their due diligence when it comes to contractors. A good rule of thumb is to research your contractor before signing anything. Reputable roofing companies with a long history of great service should be easy to find by name, online. Check online reviews of the company and ask around. Your relatives, friends, and neighbors are great sources of information here. Use a local company. Often when storms it, it is common for contractors from other states to flock to the damage. They complete a bunch of projects and then are gone. However, if something goes wrong with your roof after replacement, it can be hard to remedy with a company not local to the area. Lastly, a contractor should NEVER ask you to pay a large sum of money up front. Do not fall victim to scammers. If you are in need of a honest company you can depend on, we would be honored to serve you. Complete our online form for a free estimate or give us a call, 817-453-8555.
