BEWARE OF STORM CHASERS!
Homeowners are opened to a vulnerable position of being approached by storm chasers, who are known to come in to a community and take advantage of homeowners in a desperate time of need. A roofing storm chaser is a company that moves into your neighborhood right after a major storm. The company seeks out homes to perform roof repairs, often at bargain prices. The company then takes your money, starts the job and either fails to complete the work, or provides poor quality work.
The current trend of storm chasing companies is to buy rights into a local company and act as a local company that can be trusted. This is very misleading and dangerous! In some cases, they will approach a home and tell people they will replace their roof or siding for whatever the insurance company will pay, all without measuring or investigating the damage of the existing materials.
Storm Chasers are known to leave your city as fast as they came after the work is “completed.” (We refer to it as the “taillight warranty” – as soon as the taillights from their trucks disappear – so does your warranty.) Unfortunately you and your home can be left with a poor quality roof to deal with or even be swindled out of deposit payments and undelivered promises. One of the most common hidden problems is the result of an improperly installed roof. There are many manufacturer specifications that must be met before your manufacturer’s shingle warranty is even valid. Installing a roof to these specifications is not as easy as just installing new shingles. And, if your roofing material happens to fail for any reason down the road, any claim filed with the manufacturer will be denied should the roof be installed improperly. So in all likeliness, the warranty you thought accompanied your roof, could be non-existent.
Go ahead and ask your Sales Consultant to show you their driver’s license and check their license plate to verify he is from the area. Many Storm Chasers will purchase the company name of a local company to pass themselves off as “locals”, only to leave the local company owner with problems, non-existent warranties from poor quality workmanship. (Or worse, go out of business – leaving you no one to turn to.
A written workmanship warranty is of decreased value from a company that does not have a local presence and is only in town because of storm-related work. In other words, if the roof fails it might be very difficult to get the company to follow up for repair or workmanship issues.
