How to Tell if You’re Working With a Non-Local Roofer


The aftermath of a storm is a busy time for homeowners. You’ll want to put your roof back to its pre-loss condition as soon as possible, which means choosing a roofer who can provide timely and efficient work. But keep in mind that storm chasers also come out of the woodwork at around this time. Avoiding them helps ensure your roof repair or restoration can go on smoothly and safely. Storm chasers are usually non-local, and you’ll be able to tell this by:

How to Tell if You’re Working With a Non-Local Roofer

  • Looking into their phone number. Working with a non-local roofer isn’t recommended because making them accountable for subpar roof repair or replacement becomes difficult. Once the work is done, they’ll be off driving into the sunset with your hard-earned money, never to be seen again. For this reason, you should check whether the phone number provided by your prospective roofer is a local one. If it’s not, consider that a red flag.
  • Checking their license plate. Take a quick look at the truck or vehicle your prospective roofer arrived in. Check whether the license plates are local. If you want to, you can even ask them to let you see their driver’s license. You might not want to accept their offer of a roof repair or replacement if they appear to be non-local.

These are just a few of the things you can do to identify a non-local roofer. Here are some of the other red flags you should be watching out for:

  • The contractor is using high-pressure sales tactics.
  • They’re asking for advanced payment.
  • They claimed to be ‘passing by’ when they saw your damaged roof. Keep in mind that most reliable roofing contractors don’t drive around looking for work after a storm. If you need them to perform a roof inspection or repairs, you’ll have to call them yourself.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

Robert P StoeckleOrange County, NY

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

Larry VillaOrange County, NY

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

Terry A.Orange County, NY

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself…

Meaghan Lyric PerezOrange County, NY

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room!

I needed a new roof, and two windows replaced. Home Pro Exteriors was recommended and so they were my choice. Everything came out beautiful, especially my windows which were skylight windows and in much need of repair.

Virginia P.

Working with Home Pro to replace our roof was so refreshing after dealing with other contractors in the area for our home renovation and various other projects. They were extremely professional, took the time to answer all of our questions, and were able to get us on the schedule very quickly.
