Nashville Roofing 101: Protect Yourself From Scammers







This is the time of year where Nashville homeowners need to be especially vigilant about the people they hire to perform their roofing repairs. With so many scammers about, here are some ways you can protect yourself and your home from becoming a victim.


Don’t hire a company or contractor that you don’t know. You don’t have to know them personally, however, if you or no one else you know has heard of them, you need to be extra cautious.

Do a background check on each Nashville roofing contractor or company you are interested in. While a simple online search can yield you information on some contractors, it does not always offer the most comprehensive amount of information you need to make a good hiring decision.

Talk to your friends, colleagues, family, and neighbors. Find out who they used for their roofing services. This is a good way to glean information about potential roofing companies you may not have heard of or considered.

Contact each roof repairs company and get all estimates and project plans in writing. This gives you some protection and leverage to use to shop around for the best price.

Check all credentials, certifications, licenses, and insurances. Reputable companies are fully insured, bonded, and offer a variety of guarantees to ensure that their customers are not inconvenienced if something goes wrong. Of course, Nashville roofing companies that offer these extra measures are also so sure of their work that they rarely need to redo anything, but offer these reassurances because it provides their customers peace of mind.
