There are two roofing companies working the streets in our village. The number of jobs they are getting is amazing to me.
They offer free inspection! Now what do you think a roofing salesman is going to come back with?
Whether you need a roof or not they will have an offer that gets you thousands of dollars paid by your insurance with little or no out of pocket......and they get the max payment allowed by the insurance company.

The insurance companies are some what to blame for allowing these transactions.
The residents should know better but too many don't.

Roofers are taking advantage of the residents/insurance and legal limits of false representation.
