Roofers (a rant).

[Grant H.]

Does someone here have a roofing company they would recommend?

One of the "walk-by" inspectors caught me outside and basically wouldn't take no for an answer. I was changing brakes on my truck, so I told him "fine" and he said I have damage.

I figure if I can get someone reputable to take a look, then I'll take it up with INS.

If you know your agent, call them and ask if they have a roofer they trust to give you their opinion of if 1) You have damage, and 2) you have enough to file a claim. Most insurance agents (and some real estate agents) have these roofers that they work with.

If you don't have an agent, you're back to square one. I get asked this question all the time on, and off the board. I generally only remember bad roofers that have pissed me off. The good ones get lost in the mountains of business cards. I have a few roofer friends, but they are so small of outfits, that most probably wouldn't want to work with them.
