Now on to the subject of roof repair, the biggest problem most with home damage will face in the coming days. After Hugo, plenty of fly by night roofing operations showed up in town and did shoddy/ incomplete jobs. No idea how to avoid these jerks especially now with most of the craft being populated by illegal aliens. Here's hoping the insurance companies have their act together on that one. The closest thing for a homeowner to protect oneself is to see if the company has a state contractors license, but even that doesn’t always work.

Another con is to give the lowest bid and then demand more money half way thru, to finish. They tell the owner that it is going to require more work than they anticipated. They figure people will pay it just to get it finished.

Luckily, I’m using the roofer that roofed my house when it was new. But there are many scammers waiting to take your money if they can.
