Quick reference
Two things worth knowing right now
How to spot a roofing scam
- Anyone who knocks on your door after a storm and wants a signature the same day
- Anyone offering to cover, waive or absorb your deductible, that is insurance fraud in Idaho, and your name is on the claim
- Anyone asking you to sign an Assignment of Benefits, which hands your claim rights to them
- Any company that cannot give you a local physical address you can verify
- Large deposits demanded before any material arrives on site
- Verbal-only warranties, or a warranty term that is never written down
- Pressure to decide today because "the crew is in the neighborhood"
When it is worth having your roof looked at
A few situations are worth a professional set of eyes:
- After any significant wind or hail event
- Before winter, particularly in McCall and Donnelly
- If a stain appears on a ceiling or an upper wall
- Once the roof is around fifteen years old
- Before buying or selling a home
- If a previous repair has not held
Please do not get on the roof yourself. Most roof damage is difficult to assess safely without the right equipment, and the inspection is free.
Still not sure what your roof needs?
The fastest way to a real answer is a free inspection with photos.
