Why “Storm Chasers” Aren’t the Answer to Your Roofing Needs

Along with spring flowers and sunshine also come showers and storms, which are often followed by “storm chasers,” a roofing contractor who travels from town to town in the wake of severe weather and damaging storms, offering to complete low-cost repairs for homeowners who have experienced storm damage.

While some storm chasers may be experienced contractors, they often aren’t properly insured and licensed to work in this area. In addition, if problems arise with their work days or weeks later, these out-of-towners aren’t going to be around to pick up the pieces. In the worst-case scenarios, unscrupulous contractors will even make off with a homeowner’s deposit, leaving the work incomplete.

The Benefits of Hiring a Local Contractor

Instead of entrusting your home to an unknown entity, protect your investment and support your community. Hire Callen, an experienced local roofing and remodeling company, to address your roofing needs. Here’s what you can expect when hiring local:

• A well-earned reputation. For contractors who work locally, word-of-mouth referrals make up a good portion of their business, and Callen certainly fits this description. It stands to reason that we’re going to strive to maintain a spotless reputation by providing high-quality workmanship and exceptional client service. With online reviews accessible in an instant as well, it’s in a local contractor’s best interest to provide quality service and care.
• Dependable follow-up. In the event that issues were to come up in the weeks, months, or even years following your roof replacement, who do you think it would be easier to get in contact with to address the problem: a reliable local roofer or an out-of-town contractor who could be several states away by that time? By working with a local company, you’ll be able to have peace of mind knowing that we’re just a phone call away and can address any problems with your roof installation job in a timely manner.
• Insurance assistance. At Callen, we know how frustrating it can be dealing with insurance companies. That’s why we try to help our clients by working with their insurance company, ensuring that any damage is correctly documented and recorded. We’ll also make sure you have the necessary paperwork to be able to file your claim.
