OK I am out doing yard work and the 12th or more roofing salesman comes by and wants to inspect my roof. He says it looks like I had some shingles replaced. I said no. Then he asked how old the roof was. If he can’t tell why is he stopping by? Ridiculous scam artists. It reminds me of the tin men who sold aluminum siding or the asbestos siding sales people. Come on Villagers don’t fall for these con men. There is big money in these bogus roofing jobs and they prey on people’s greed and fear. The insurance companies also have themselves to blame. If they don’t insure homes with older roofs, guess what, people sign up with the con men and pay nothing or 2% of homes value. So for $9000 they get a new roof. If they waited for ten years more it would cost them $25000 (reputable roofer) and they may find their house uninsurable. So the insurance company pushes residents to join the crooks and then these roofing scam artists charge the insurance company $45,000! I told the salesman I was from New England and we replace our roofs at the 20-25 year mark. He left.
