A lot of the problem is what I view as fraud. Roofers going door to door telling homeowners that they can get them a new roof free, the homeowner assigns their insurance benefits to the roofer who then collude with lawyers to sue insurers for the cost of the new roof claiming it was damaged by wind or a hurricane when in fact it was really just an old roof that needed to be replaced because of old age and normal wear and tear.
I've seen the roofers going door to door here, after a hailstorm.
After the 2nd time, I went on the roof with a guy to see, because:
- I didn't want him damaging the roof
- I wanted to know if it was really damaged or not
After I could see the actual hail damage, I told him I'd call my insurance agent. He kept offering to "call for me" but I refused , as I've seen poorly roofed houses.
After the insurance agent came, inspected and approved the claim, I went with a local long established roofer, so I'd get it done properly and have someone to call if it leaked 3 yrs later.
