Roofing scam
 

Got up this morning a found a Card from APEX ROOFING stuck in my door. My roof is four years old.

Is it stained or three tab? I guess you don’t want the free inspection….

Roof inspection
 

My roof is pristine light grey, no stains, Architectural Shingles. Why do I need an inspection?

Wind damage….

Free inspection means they will try and find something to get you to buy a new roof.

Or worse, I have heard that some unscrupulous roofers will actually create the damage.

I would call the sheriff and see if they are interested in a sting operation to stop these companies, and then play along. They are costing ALL of us a lot of money due to increased home insurance costs.

What I like to do is ask for the free inspection, let them climb up on the roof, then take away the ladder saying "You didn't ask me for permission to put a ladder against my house". Works great. Too far to jump down. The guy is still up there after 2 weeks. :shocked:

Skip

My goodness.. maybe they just want to advertise their work. Just because someone puts. Housecleaning service card in my door doesn't mean I want or need it.

BEWARE - we had APEX
 

[BEWARE - we had APEX,(we called and we chose) and they damaged our house. Now after 4 months of excuses they STILL have not come out to repair. It's really a simple repair, but they just stall and stall. DO NOT use APEX.

How many flyers do you get in the mail. How about the ones for burial.? Are you dead/dying?

Yes, I was wondering exactly how this "scam" was supposed to work.

It would seem to rely on the recipient of the card thinking, "I know my roof is only four years old, but the card is so convincing that I simply must have a new roof".

How many people have had insurance pay for roof replacement please raise your hand. Oh that's right you forgot about that! But my insurance doesn't! They don't believe in fraud! They prosecute! Nothing is free.

They will probably do the damage while inspecting and the try to scam you and your insurance company. Common racket here.

Apex made the rounds in my neighborhood awhile back. They were looking to inspect the roofs and then get you to contact your insurance company to report hail damage.
