After big storms, we always see an influx of contractors going door to door within hours.

Some are reputable. Some are just chasing the next neighborhood.

A few things we’d recommend to any homeowner dealing with possible storm damage:

• Don’t feel pressured to sign anything immediately
• Get documentation/photos of damage
• Verify the contractor is actually local
• Read contracts carefully before agreeing to insurance work
• Be cautious of anyone promising a “free roof” automatically

Even if you end up not needing repairs, a legitimate inspection should help you understand what’s actually going on instead of creating more confusion.
