Hurricane season is a time of heat, heavy rain, strong winds…and roofing scams. Founded in Houston in 1974, we love our city and all of our customers and only want what is best for them. Part of wanting what’s best means we have to warn you about scammers.
Be Wary Of Scammers
Unfortunately, scammers use many different tactics to gain your business, or rather, your money. Here are two of the most common tactics we hear about.
Knocking On Your Door Right After A Storm
It seems reasonable that roofers would send out their team to knock on doors after a storm. They might claim they offer Cypress roof repairs or Cypress roof replacement “at no cost to you”. Although we encourage you to get your roof looked at after a storm, many scammers take advantage of this. It even made headlines back when Harvey took place.
Being Extra Pushy
No one likes pushy salespeople. A pushy roofer is no exception. Exercise caution around roofers that are pressuring you or begging you for a job they likely won’t even execute well. We recommend you choose to ignore them so you can instead search for a more reputable Cypress roofing company, such as Amstill Roofing, which is Houston’s #1 Roofer!
How To Protect Your Home From Cypress Roofing Repair Scams
Whether they offer a roof repair or a Cypress roof replacement, we want to reiterate that it’s best to keep an eye out. Your roof is a crucial component of your home, so if it’s damaged you need a company that will take the job seriously and only ensure top quality. To protect your money from falling into the wrong hands, we recommend looking up roofing companies and checking out their online reviews on Yelp, Google, and/or Facebook.
You may also want to double-check the legitimacy and the quality of a Cypress roofer by finding out if they have any certifications. It can be very hard to become certified as a top roofer in the roofing industry, so we are proud to share our certifications on our website.
