SEVEN WAYS TO AVOID ROOFER SCAMS IN ROCKLAND COUNTY, ORANGE OR WESTCHESTER
Below you will find the seven things that tell you that you are dealing with a dishonest, unscrupulous roofer. JRK Construction is dedicated to providing prompt service done right the first time and every time. They are located in Spring Valley in Rockland County and take care of every residential or commercial customer as if they were their neighbors.
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.
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. A Brand New Company with No Track Record
A company new to the business likely lacks significant experience. Quality roofers typically work for years in the trade before starting their own company. Without that background, how can they solve unexpected problems?
6. No Written Agreement or Warranty
Steer clear of any contractor who refuses to provide a written agreement or stand behind their work. A professional always guarantees their work in writing.
7. Poor Communication and Inaccessible Owners
If you cannot easily reach the owner or communicate effectively with the company, consider it a major red flag. Good contractors prioritize clear communication.
