Roofing Roof Repair Basics: A Beginner’s Guide to Storm Chasers

Roof Repair Basics: A Beginner’s Guide to Storm Chasers

May 15, 2018 by Jesse Curry

One of the biggest problems when looking for roofing contractors to hire is the risk of falling victim to storm chasers. These less-than-reputable people prey on homeowners looking to have their roof fixed for a very low price. Storm chasers not only steal money from their unsuspecting victims, but also put the entire roof service industry in a bad light.

Roof Repair Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Storm Chasers

How Do Storm Chasers Operate

Storm chasers have various ways to find their victims, but most of them do it by keeping an eye out for announcements by the Weather Bureau. They target areas where hailstorms, strong winds or hurricanes are bound to do damage, where they advertise their “incredibly affordable” services to people who want to prepare for bad weather OR have their roof fixed after the damage has been done.

Taking Your Money

Some storm chasers work fast, disappearing as soon as they get the down payment from their victims or the insurance company. Others try to pass themselves off as legitimate roofing companies by doing a bit of work and then moving out of town as soon as they’ve received payment. This is something you can avoid by hiring established local roof repair providers like Roofing by Curry.

Outlandish Claims

Storm chasers are successful because they take advantage of their victims’ need to keep their roof in top condition. They may make outrageous promises like low prices or incredibly fast results. They can even trick clients who don’t need roofing services by claiming that your roof is already badly in need of replacement, even if it’s still in perfect condition.

Avoiding Storm Chasers

The best way to avoid storm chasers is to limit your choices to reputable local roofing contractors like us.
