Roofers (a rant).

[drew890]

Also what is up with roofers posting yard signs on a house they are working on? Is this some kind of discount deal or "post this yard sign and we will pay your deductable."

Usually they offer you a monetary amount for any referrals generated by the sign in your yard.
Or that is at least what my contractor has offered.

We've had to replace our roof every 5 years on the nose.
We use the same roofing company every time.
I had an inspector look this last hail storm and he said I should call my roofer. We had used the high-impact shingles last replacement.
The roofer came out and said only damage was to the vent caps and he would replace them if I wanted, but it was cosmetic. We will wait until our 5th year again if we get lucky.
My wife talks to the neighbors and she got referrals for each of them. We all use the same roofer now, so no new business to refer.
