I can't believe with all the agencies out there to protect the consumer and with programs like Mike Holmes' that people still opt for the cash jobs, awarding them to... a guy with a ladder! He has no name, very likely no registered company, no truck lettering (proabably because the name changes frequently), and basically no proof of his existence. If he has no company identity today, he will not have one tomorrow. It is a vanishing act. Please, please, please people, smarten up! With the GM layoffs (2yrs ago now?), I would think that close to a thousand people suddenly became expert roofers. The economy has picked up somewhat but I suspect that there are some of us still out there trying to earn a living as an imposter. Dissatisfaction guaranteed! In my buyer beware blog I mentioned a call I received from someone who has no trace of the company or persons that left behind a rather expensive repair job. The homeowner thought he needed eaves troughs so he paid for that and then he paid some more. And he still may be paying today. I would hope that he addressed the problem before new ones had opportunity to arise (such as rotted fascia boards). I really can't stress enough how easy it is to take the extra step and ask all the relevant questions. Tips to prevent fraud are listed on the BBB website. Remember: every good salesperson offers a warranty but when their phone number changes and they have no registered company, it amounts to nothing. Be smart with your roof. It protects everything inside your home.
