Please be aware of the roofing
contractors that come to town when a hailstorm has occurred.
These contractors are known as “storm chasers”.
It is always a sound practice to contract with a
locally owned business in your area.
Here are some steps to follow to ensure you are
contracting with a locally established roofing contractor in
your community:
-
Check the company status with the
Better Business Bureau
-
Check the company status with the
North Texas Roofing Contractors Association
-
Ask for a reference list for homes
and customers in your area
-
Insist on an “on the job” foreman
-
Make sure you receive a written
estimate outling the scope of work
-
Insist on daily job clean up and
inspections
-
Insist on receiving a valid insurance
certificate
-
Never pay cash up front unless it is
a custom order
-
Document the number of years the
company has been in business in your area
-
Ask how long the roofers have been
employed by the roofing contactor
-
The company should be able to supply
lien waivers by their suppliers
-
Make sure the roofing material will
be installed in compliance to the manufacturers’
specifications and guidelines
-
Insist on an after project walk
through and inspection
