Tips to Avoid Scams

Replacing or repairing a roof is a costly undertaking— one that for many homeowners has been marred by disreputable roofing contractors. However, don’t let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. There are plenty of trustworthy roofing companies in your area.

To avoid roofing scams and to find a reputable roofer, follow these tips, courtesy of the Insurance Institute for Home & Business Safety (IBHS):

1 2 3

Research roofing contractors diligently before hiring one. Consult the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and search for reviews and ratings online. Avoid contractors who have generated complaints, lawsuits, etc. A reputable roofer will also be able to provide previous customer testimonials or recommendations vouching for their work.

Confirm all credentials before hiring a contractor. A reputable roofing professional will be licensed, insured and bonded, and will be able to provide the aforementioned locally-based references. Request to review their license number, federal tax identification number, and certificate of insurance—a qualified professional will provide them. Fact-check this information with the appropriate authorities.

Get detailed estimates (in writing!) from contractors you’re considering hiring—more than one is best. Shop around to find the best value. Don’t feel pressured to hire the first roofing company that gives you an estimate. Also be wary of any “today only” deals or prices when you’re given an estimate, they are pressuring you into making a decision right away. y

18TREB024_Creative Living_40_Digest.indd 5

4 5 6

Do not enter into an agreement with a roofing contractor who solicits business at your doorstep, particularly after a storm. This could be a sign of an imposter. Also, be wary of any deals or prices that sound too good to be true. They usually are.

Exercise caution when dealing with contracts. Be sure to read and re-read all documents, or have a third party review them with you, before signing them. Do not sign a contract with missing information—a fraudster may fill these blanks with inaccurate information.

Do not feel pressured to sign a contract on the spot.

Most importantly, never pay upfront in full for roofing work.

Scammers will make off with the money, never to be seen again.

By following these tips you will find a reputable roofing company that will provide you with a great balance of service and price. Good luck with your roofing project!

Hiring a Contractor?

Do This First Nothing is more exciting than embarking on a home renovation project! Hire the wrong contractor, however, and your dream remodel can quickly turn into a nightmare.

That’s why it’s essential to do your due diligence when hiring a contractor, such as getting multiple estimates before signing a contract.

According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), when you get multiple bids, you can learn a great deal about the proposed project, such as what type of work is needed, the quality of the building materials, how long the job may take and the total cost.

u

u

Get everything in writing.

Make sure all verbal promises end up in the written contract as well as a detailed description of the work, the cost of materials and start and completion dates.

Contracts also should include specifics about the deposit and payment schedule and guarantees for the quality of work and materials.

u

The contract should specify required permits - Renovation work often requires permits from the town or municipality. If you’re contractor suggests going without permits, it might be a sign they have a poor reputation at city hall.

The BBB offers these other tips to help find the best, most ethical contractor to work with and ensure a successful home renovation: u

u

First, check bbb.org BBB’s business profiles can tell you how long the contractor has been in business, as well as provide contact information, verified customer reviews, complaint details and how the business responded.

Be wary of ‘today-only’ sales pitches - This is a sales tactic designed to get you to sign a contract or put down a deposit, without giving you the opportunity to do your research. Watch out for these and other ‘bargains’ that rush you into a deal.

18TREB024_Creative Living_40_Digest.indd 8

u Get references from recent customers - Speak with other property owners who had work done recently, and ask what they did or did not like about a particular contractor. A reputable contractor will be happy to provide u client references.

Compare apples to apples – Choosing a prospective contractor is simpler if you ask for quotes based on the number of hours needed and the same quality of materials.

Avoid putting down a large deposit - A typical payment schedule should follow the “rule of thirds.” The first payment is given when signing the contract and helps pay for materials, the second payment when work begins, and the final payment when the job is finished and you are satisfied with the quality of work. Ask the builder to walk you through the work to explain what has been done.

By sticking to the above steps, you’ll head into your renovation with peace of mind, knowing you’ve done your homework and taken the necessary steps to select the best possible contractor.
