Don't Fall Victim

To A Roofing Scam

It's storm season. Here are some tips to avoid being the victim of a roofing scandal.

Shop Around
Get 3-4 estimates and ask for references.

Trust Your Instincts
Be leery of unannounced contractors telling you that you have damage to your home or letting someone you do not know look at your roof.

Get It In Writing
A well-written proposal will be detailed and broken down into line items, which is a good sign of a contractor that is being thorough.

Don't Feel Rushed
The Better Business Bureau has reviews of more than 67,000 roofing contractors, available for free at www.bbb.org
