⚠️ Roof damaged or leaking? ⚠️

Don't let scam artists take advantage of you!

One of the most important things to remember during a hurricane is to be on the lookout for storm damage fraudsters. They can end up taking your money and putting on the cheapest roof they could provide.

Some may go door-to-door, falsely claiming they can get you a new roof for your deductible. Others may misrepresent themselves, claiming to be from a legitimate company when they are not.

Before signing any documents, be sure to verify the contractor's references and look up their place of business. Request a detailed proposal before making any decisions.
