Roofing Contractor Red Flags: Watch for These

Roofing

Are you in the process of searching for a roofing contractor? From a repair to a total replacement, there may come a time when you need to locate a contractor who can provide all the assistance you require (in a timely manner).

Unfortunately, there are many “contractors” out there who don’t have the best interest of the client in mind. Instead, all they’re worried about is getting their money and moving to the next job.

Here are three roofing contractor red flags to watch out for:

·      Pushing for money upfront. While there’s nothing wrong with providing a deposit on a big project, any contractor that continually pushes for full payment upfront is one that you should be leery of.

·      No reviews or references. Does the contractor have any positive online reviews? Are they able to provide references from past clients? If the answer to both questions is no, you should begin to wonder about their experience and knowledge.

·      Can’t answer your questions. You hire a roofing contractor for their expertise and professional service. If a person can’t answer your questions upfront, you can’t trust them to do the job.

By watching for these red flags you’ll find it much easer to create a short list of roofing contractors you can actually trust. From there, it’s much easier to make a final decision.

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.

Nancy P.

Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!

Laura M.

Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!

Scott C.

Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.

Ryan H.

I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.

Hassan W.

Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.

Erin M.

Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
