So now that you know about some of the more local contractors that serve Erwin, what would the opposite of that be? Those would be one of the bad apples of the roofing industry, storm chasers.
Roofing storm chasers have unfortunately contributed to the negative perception of roofers as untrustworthy. They embody all the unfavorable stereotypes in one package, often displaying pushy behavior, poor communication, inadequate service, and disappearing once they've received payment.
One telltale sign of storm chasers is that they typically operate from out of state or out of town. It is crucial to verify their local presence and ensure they have a track record of work in your area.
So, how does their scam work? Storm chasers capitalize on severe weather events to instill fear in homeowners, urging them to make hasty repairs. They lure customers with lower prices, achieved by cutting corners on materials and employing cheap, inexperienced labor.
In the aftermath of a storm, their salespeople swarm the neighborhood, going door-to-door to discuss the likely damage to homeowners' roofs. They offer on-the-spot inspections and then employ high-pressure scare tactics to secure immediate roofing contracts.
Once the deal is sealed, the crew hastily starts the work, often disregarding local laws and building codes. Unfortunately, once they complete the job and leave, getting in touch with the company becomes a daunting task. Numerous stories circulate about homeowners being ignored by these companies when attempting to address issues like leftover debris or newly sprung leaks. It's frustrating as they often have no online presence on platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau, making it challenging to leave negative reviews or hold them accountable.
