The Truth About Storm Chasers
Denver is prone to severe weather, you've probably heard the term "storm chasers." These are roofing contractors who travel from town to town, following major storms offering quick roof replacements to homeowners in need. While it may seem convenient, there are serious risks involved in hiring these out-of-town companies. At Beard Brothers Roofing, we want to ensure homeowners make informed decisions about protecting their homes.
What is a Storm Chasing Roofer?
Storm chasers are roofing companies that move from location to location, targeting areas that have recently experienced severe storms, hail, or high winds. These companies often show up unannounced, knocking on doors and offering “free roof inspections.” They may even pressure homeowners into filing insurance claims or signing contracts on the spot.
While some storm chasers may perform legitimate work, many use subpar materials, rush through installations, and disappear once the job is done—leaving homeowners with little to no recourse if issues arise later.
The Risks of Hiring a Storm Chasing Roofer
Before signing a contract with a storm chaser, consider the following drawbacks:
Lack of Local Presence: Once the job is complete, storm chasers often move on to the next town. If problems arise with your roof, finding them for repairs or warranty claims can be nearly impossible.
Questionable Workmanship: Because storm chasers prioritize speed over quality, they may cut corners, leading to poor installations that can cause leaks and structural issues down the road.
Insurance Scams & High-Pressure Sales Tactics: Some storm chasers encourage homeowners to file exaggerated or fraudulent insurance claims. This can lead to issues with your insurance provider, including claim denials or increased premiums.
No Real Warranty Support: Many storm chasers offer warranties that sound great on paper, but when they leave town, those warranties become worthless.
