Storm chasers

The so-called storm chasers are very often. The key to their success is to be at the right place at the right time. They follow the weather conditions and where there is a storm, there are storm chasers. After the severe storm, when they know that people are desperate, they visit the potential clients and offer their services. Of course, people desperate for their roof will accept the offer. Storm chasers play it wisely: they do the job poorly, leave their contact and wait for another storm. Of course, people will call them again.

Overcharging their service

It is possible for the service provider to overcharge their service. This is especially common in the roofing industry since very few people know almost anything about roofing. If you are not informed, you can’t resist paying. That’s why you should always check your price with at least two more contractors.
