4 Lies Shady Roofing Contractors Tell Their Customers

4 Lies Shady Roofing Contractors Tell Their Customers

Being lied to is the worst–even more so when you’re losing money because of it. That’s why homeowners should be wary of roofers that they feel are up to no good. While most roofing companies are dependable and trustworthy, you should still watch out for the shady ones–they’re there and will tell you convincing lies. The premier expert in storm repair damage in the area, MHI Roofing, discusses some of these falsehoods here.

  1. “We saw your roof has damage and we’d like to help”. First off, how can they tell a roof has problems just by looking at it? Unless your roof is showing obvious damage (like exposed areas where the shingles were torn off), a contractor won’t actually know unless they perform a thorough inspection. And if they’re offering to climb up your roofing system so they can check and show you where the damaged area is–just say no.
  1. “We have decades of roofing experience.” A statement like this one is easy enough to confirm. Visit their website to check, and if they don’t have one or any online footprint, that’s a big red flag right there. Proven roofing experts would make a simple fact like business experience visible on their website, and will have proof to back up the claim. MHI Roofing, in fact, has been in business since 1979, and continues to deliver high-quality roofing solutions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia communities.
  1. “We were doing work in the neighborhood and figured you’ll need our help too.” A reliable roofing contractor doesn’t just randomly show up in your neighborhood. They are usually there for a good reason. If they say they are there working on a roofing job, ask them where and for whom (you can confirm this later). But it’s more than likely that you’re talking to a storm chaser, in which case, you can turn down their offer.
  1. “We offer top-of-the-line products for our roof replacement service.” Again, make sure to check. You don’t want a faulty, off-brand roofing system over your home. This won’t be a problem when you turn to MHI Roofing. We are a GAF® Master Elite® roofing contractor, which means access to this top manufacturer’s highest quality shingle roofing systems.
