These fly-by night roofing contractors can generally be identified by their out-of-state plates. Most times these scammers will move into a vacant office located close to the area that has been affected by the storm. They set up a temporary office with a roof full of commissioned-paid telemarketers that merely go through the phone book and call unsuspecting home owners in the affected area. They are paid by how many “leads” they set up as they promise people that they will do a thorough inspection of the home owner’s roof so they the homeowner doesn’t miss out on having the roof done for “free” and by “free” they mean the homeowners insurance company will pay the tab, but the home owner most times must pay a deductible.

Insurance companies are on to these storm chasers and their tactics. Some of these companies have even been known to make divots in the shingles with a hammer to provide “evidence” of hail damage. Insurance companies can tell the difference and will most likely send an adjuster to keep them honest.

Home owners are also warned that these storm chasers sometimes use inexperienced workers who a paid a low wage and they often times cut corners to increase their profits. That’s why it is always best to deal with a locally owned, reputable roofing contractor that has a stake in the community, a company like MJB Roofing.
