Roofing Repairs – Extreme Spring Storms Leave Homeowner Victim to Roofing Repair Scams
Cities across the United States have been hit with quite the weather this spring. Heavy storms and downpours have left many American homes struck with significant interior and exterior damage, often leaving the property unsuitable for living. As a home’s exterior is its first line of defense against the elements, the shock, disbelief, and desire for a quick solution to siding and roofing repairs among homeowners is completely understandable. However, homeowners should be cautious before hiring a roofing contractor to preform maintenance on your home–many fake “roofing companies” are on the lookout for distressed homeowners to take advantage of, particularly after extreme storms.

Not only are they trying to make a quick buck off storm victims, but often the home is left in a worse condition than before.
