Common Roofing Scams and How to Avoid Them

With many home improvement projects being done this season, a lot of homeowners are at risk of scams. That’s why it’s important to only trust professional and licensed roofing contractors.

In this post, your local roofing company, CQ Construction, discusses common signs of roofing scams.

Common Roofing Scams

  • Unnecessary Repairs – Unreliable roofing companies scam homeowners by overdoing the work. They perform services that aren’t really required. This can be hard to determine and most don’t even know that they have been scammed.

  • Overcharging – A good roofing contractor will give you a reasonable quote for their services. You can avoid a victim of this scam by getting multiple estimates from different contractors.

  • Inadequate Repairs – You may think you saved more money for having a significant repair done at a cheap cost. Well, not until you start to notice signs of water damage inside your house. Scammers don’t address the root cause of the repair. They simply hide the damaged areas of the roof by placing new shingles and then leave the inner surface untreated. For reliable roof repair services, contact CQ Roofing. We guarantee quality services that can make your roofing system last longer.

Don’t Be a Victim

Consult different contractors before hiring one. This will give you an idea of how much your project will cost and the necessary services your roof needs. Being knowledgeable of your roof’s condition will also prevent you from being scammed. Regular inspections and maintenance can tackle roof problems before they get bigger.

Don’t immediately settle on the company that gives you the lowest quote. Ask for references and read reviews. Do your research and determine how long the company has been in the business.
