Checklist for Homeowners: Call a Residential Roofer after a Big Storm

Storms often cause roof damage that goes from minor to extensive. This is why, as a homeowner, you should call a residential Centennial roof repair company to perform a thorough inspection, even if you do not suspect any damage.

For this, the first thing on your checkup should be finding a licensed local roofer and keep it’s contact info at hand; when you are in the middle of a little disaster, the thing you need the least is to look for a reliable contractor or to search for a phone number that you have no idea where you have written it.

Another important thing on your checklist, as soon as you know there is a big storm on its way is to make photos or a little move with your roof, where you can see its existent condition. This will prove to be very helpful, together with the damage report that you will get from your roofer, if you must file an insurance claim.

Last but not least, you should also put a red flag on your checklist: stay away from storm chasers! And no, these are not those people chasing tornados for thrills; in the roofing industry, they are known as a category of scams. They travel to areas hit by storms and knock on people’s door to sell them new roofs for much better prices than local companies. However, the installation will be rushed and done poorly, and your storm chasing roofer will not answer their phone anymore.
