Default Roof Inspection

" I was approached twice by A### to have my roof "inspected" for damage. I had already done a walk around myself, NO missing shingles, no apparent hail damage (no Hail reported), I told them I was not interested."

Amen to that, Tinker! My wife received a phone call from an alleged roofing company (she didn't get the name) who offered a free inspection of our roof to search for missing shingles. When she told me this I tried calling the company back, but the answer from the recorded message was "The person you are calling is on another line,". No company name is given, no way to leave a message and no way to talk to someone on the other end.

Two guys showed up a few days later. There was no company name on their shirts and nothing on the black pickup truck or white SUV to show what company they represented. I told them thanks, but no thanks and shut the door. The roofing scam from a few years ago still stings, especially on insurance premiums.

As many have suggested, contact your insurance company for guidance. They might have people who can replace a few shingles.
