You have to be really careful when you are choosing a roofing company in Charleston SC. There are plenty of “roofers” that have never even been on a roof and they are making their first attempt at roofing because they need to make some quick money. There are warning signs that you will be able to recognize that will clue you in as to whether you are making the right choice or not.
Red Flags
A credible roofing company in Charleston SC knows the value of their work so their pricing does not come across as “too good to be true”. Pick the “too good to be true” deal and you may find out the hard way if it seems too good to be true it likely is. This can be a huge red flag. Many times after a storm you will see pickups riding around with freshly minted roofing signs on the side going door to door to offer their “expert” help. Unfortunately, many homeowners have found out the hard way that those “too good to be true” deals can be very costly after they have to get a certified roofing professional to fix the damage that the other “roofer” left behind.
Other flags include:
*Paying for an estimate
*An unwillingness to give you options for repairs/replacement
*Working out of the truck
*Exaggerated promises
You should never have to pay for an estimate. Do not be talked into paying for one. If you meet with a roofer that tries too hard to press you to make a decision without giving you options that can be a huge flag. An experienced roofer has many options to meet your needs. Exaggerated promises like I can be done in a day is also a flag!
Take the guess work out of roofing by calling Powell Roofing!
