SEVEN WAYS TO AVOID ROOFER SCAMS IN ROCKLAND COUNTY, ORANGE OR WESTCHESTER

If your roofer tries any of the following scams…avoid them at all costs! You should also report them to the Better Business Bureau and the consumer protection agency for your County. Here are links for the Rockland, Westchester and Orange agencies.

Here are seven ways to avoid roofer scam:

1- Out-of-town “storm chasers” with unmarked trucks – especially if they have out-of-state license plates. Do business with local firms from Rockland, Westchester and Orange Counties with local service.

2- Many fly-by-nights will come in from a hundred miles away and knock on your door and say they just finished a job in town and will give you a price too good to be true. In many cases they will ask for a down payment and often that is the last you will hear from them.

3- Never do business with a firm that is not licensed and insured. Do not use a company that says they do not have insurance because they pass the savings on to you! If one of their workers get injured on your property and they are not insured, the worker can sue you!

4- Avoid a roofer who is not a full-time contractor.

5- It is a very bad idea to use a company that is brand new to the business without significant experience. Any quality roofer who is going out on his own will have a many years of experience in the trade before they start their own company. If they do not have significant roofing experience how will they be able to solve the problems that inevitably arise on every job?

6- Do not use a contractor who will not stand behind their work and will not put their agreement in writing.

7- Avoid companies where you do not have access to the owner and cannot easily communicate effectively.
