Smart solutions for after the storm

By Crowther Roofing and Cooling.

Choosing a local roofing contractor after a severe weather event offers better protection and peace of mind.

For people residing in areas with severe and frequent storms that can cause extensive damage to roofs, it’s important to do your research on your contractor if you do need repairs. Some contractors travel to different locations throughout the year to assist with repairs in areas hit hard by storms to alleviate the workload of local contractors. Because they’re in the area for a limited time, it can cause confusion and issues later on. That’s why consulting with a reputable, local roofing company to determine if your roof needs repair is always recommended. Crowther Roofing and Cooling’s guide will explain what to look for in a contractor after a storm and what to be wary of.  

What happens to your roof warranty when your contractor leaves town?

Choosing the right roofing contractor is a significant decision for any homeowner, especially in areas prone to severe weather. After a storm, some residents may find themselves quickly approached by roofing contractors offering fast repairs and warranties. These contractors, often known as traveling contractors or storm chasers,” may provide immediate help, but what happens when they leave town and the issues return?

The problem with traveling contractors

Typically following severe weather patterns, traveling contractors offer their services to affected homeowners. While their intentions may not be malicious, their transient nature can lead to several problems:

1. Rushed or poor-quality work

2. Use of substandard materials

3. Lack of proper licensing or insurance

4. Unavailability for follow-up repairs or warranty claims

Why choose local companies?
