Roof Repair Scam 1 – Going up, up and way up on the price
The scammer will begin at the very first stage of when you are seeking a recommended roofing contractor. He will most likely give a low quote compared to some of the others and would appear convincing at first glance. This may sound too good to be true and still you’ll probably end up striking a deal with him. But once he starts working, you’ll surely regret that choice. That’s when the additional work presents itself, for example “I noticed more damage up there which you can’t see, which calls for an immediate repair”. The next thing you know the original quote has doubled or tripled.
Tips to avoid this:
Before starting on your roof repairs in stoke on trent, be sure to make it clear to all your potential contractors that you’re not open for additional jobs they might find. State that your budget is limited and is a per project bid. Some roofers will quote you for a day rate, but if you agree to that they could take forever to fix your roof, keep going off “to get materials,” then disappearing for a half day, then sending someone different in the morning – all the while you would have signed to pay them a day rate for the roofing work. Keep in mind that the lowest bid is not always the best, and so get a fixed price. When you call us we will give you as accurate a quote as we can for your roof repair in Stoke or Newcastle.
Roof Repair Scam 2 – Contractor 1, and then 2, and then 3.
Another scam would be having already agreed to the job the project starts. A few days in to it and you notice that your original contractor has brought in some friends and claims that he faced a big problem on the roof which needs these extra workers. Then at the end of the day, you’ll realise the original guy has left the site leaving you puzzled with these new workers who you don’t even know. Once the project is near completion your original roofing contractor will disappear and be uncontactable by office or mobile phone. His new friends dealing with your roof repairs project will now claim that he owes them money and there is more work required than they thought. This is when they press for you to pay them what he owes them then extra for them to complete the job or they walk.
Tips to avoid this:
The perfect solution to avoid this scam would be to ask for all the names of the people who will work on your roof. Dealing with roof repairs in stoke on trent can be costly if you get the wrong guys in for the job. CALL US TO GET A GENUINE CONTRACTOR.
