What
Roofing Contractors Never Tell You About
The
Labor They Use To Cut Corners And Quote You A Low Price.
No
One Should Allow A Roofing Company Onto Their Roof Without Asking
These 2 Basic Questions:
1) Standard that your workers have signed?
The
roofing industry is one of the most unregulated Industries in the
country. Any “schmuck with a truck” can call themselves a roofing
contractor. I’m sure you've heard all the Horror stories on
dateline and 60 minutes about unscrupulous Contractors taking money
up front and then skipping town. A Majority of contractors hire
outside sub-contractors to work as Laborers and even participate in
the installation of your roofing Materials. Many of these people come
from labor pools. Who are These workers - and where do they come
from? Not even the Contractors know! Do you think they should? These
people have Access to your yard, your home, and in many cases, your
family.
Ask
your contractor to provide you with a written subcontractor Agreement
that holds subcontractors accountable to behavioral Standards and
background checks to help avoid theft of your property or danger to
your family members. Find out if they abide by, and have Signed,
legally enforceable code of ethics standards.
2) Will
You Provide Me With A Lien Waiver Letter?
Are
you aware that you can pay your roofing contractor in full; receive a
written receipt; and still owe for the entire price of the roof?
Unfair – you bet! True? Unfortunately – YES! Unscrupulous
contractors can collect from you in full and fail to pay their
subcontractors. These sub-contractors in turn can attach a lien to
your
home – preventing you from selling it and requiring you to hire
legal counsel to fight the action - all at your expense of course.
And if you happen to be one of the lucky ones that can get a
financial judgment against your contractor, they just close the
business and re-open the next week under another name. You’re stuck
– now you get to pay for the roof AGAIN! It’s no wonder that the
roofing industry has the second worst reputation in the country -
falling just behind auto repair. To avoid this EVER happening to you,
ask your contractor if they will provide you with a supplier lien
waiver letter that frees you from obligations to pay any
subcontractors they hire.
ASK
YOUR CONTRACTOR
To
Provide You With A Standard Bid.
Compare
It Against These Standards.
If
It Doesn't Stack Up, Shouldn't That Tell You Something About
INTEGRITY?

entering your home. We also require them to sign and adhere to a
strict Code Of Ethics And Competency Standard that we carefully
monitor and enforce. Your safety, and that of your family, is our Top
Priority! We also provide a “Lien Waiver” letter freeing you of
ANY financial liability - before we start any project. At Hail Pro Solutions roofing we provide all this and much, much more – for the SAME
PRICE the other guys charge for inferior materials and workmanship.
