Hailstones can fall at speeds of 100 mph or faster—and your home’s roof will likely catch the brunt of a hailstorm. But even though your next-door neighbor’s roof may have to be replaced, yours won’t necessarily have experienced the same level of damage. That’s because a storm’s hailstones differ in size, shape and density, so damage can vary drastically between neighboring homes.
After a storm, check your siding—if it’s dented, your roof may be, too. And if you need to hire a roofer, be on the lookout for scammers. Every year, the Better Business Bureau fields hundreds of complaints about roofing contractors. Here are some signs that a roofer may be unscrupulous:
Be wary of so-called “storm chasers”—companies and contractors that troll the streets of an affected area looking to prey on homeowners. Don’t get pressured into allowing anyone onto your roof.
Get a business card, ask to contact recent customers, and verify that the roofer has all the required licensing. Check out the roofer at the Better Business Bureau website.
House hunting should be exciting—but it could leave you vulnerable to scammers.
Get tipsA roofer with good intentions usually asks for partial payment when the contract is signed, and final payment when you are satisfied with the completed job.
Don’t give out your policy number before you contact your insurer.
If you notice or suspect damage and have home insurance through AAA, call AAA to schedule an inspection. Your agent can provide the names and contact information of local, qualified professionals to do the repairs. Ultimately, the choice of roof contractor is entirely up to the policyholder.
