A Cautionary Tale: Don’t Get Roofed In—Choose a Trusted Professional
The Story: When a Roof Repair Goes Wrong
Recently, we were contacted by a distressed homeowner who had fallen victim to a roofing scam. After paying a rogue contractor upfront, the homeowner was left with a roof in worse condition than before. The so-called “professional” not only botched the job, but also disappeared without any intention of making things right.
As a gesture of goodwill, our team at RM Roof & Exterior Power Washing stepped in and rectified the roof clean at no cost to the homeowner. While we were happy to help, this situation serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with hiring unverified contractors.
Why Choosing a Trusted, VAT-Registered Business Matters
Selecting a reputable, VAT-registered company isn’t just about compliance—it’s about peace of mind. Here’s why:
Accountability: VAT-registered businesses are traceable and operate under strict regulations.
Quality Assurance: Established companies have a reputation to uphold and are more likely to deliver quality workmanship.
Consumer Protection: Registered businesses are more likely to have insurance and offer guarantees on their work.
Transparency: Clear contracts, invoicing, and communication are standard practice.
How to Avoid Roofing Scams
Protect yourself and your home with these simple steps:
Check VAT Registration: Always ask for a VAT number and verify it.
Request References: Speak to previous customers or check online reviews.
Avoid Large Upfront Payments: Reputable contractors rarely demand full payment before work begins.
Get Everything in Writing: Insist on a written contract detailing the scope of work and payment terms.
Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, don’t be afraid to walk away.
