ALPHARETTA ROOFERS SAVE HOMEOWNERS HASSLE

Think you’re ready for Alpharetta roofing? It seems like it could be just any weekend project, but as you get older, consider Alpharetta roofers to save yourself the headache.

It’s been a busy year for Alpharetta roofers. This past February, tornadoes ravaged much of metro Atlanta, dropping golf ball sized hail in many neighborhoods. “We have not seen storms like this in a very, very long time,” reported Channel 2 chief meteorologist Glenn Burns. Alpharetta roofing professionals say that hail damage can be a sleeping giant. Even the most severe storm will not necessarily leave noticeable leaks right away. More often than not, shingles lose their granules, which will degrade into a leak 2-3 years later – when insurance companies will no longer pay for Alpharetta roofing repairs. Considering the 12-month window, now is the perfect time to call Alpharetta roofers for a free inspection. A good Alpharetta roofing company will come back when your insurance claim adjustor visits to make sure your claim for roof repair gets approved.

However, you must be careful about who you call to do your Alpharetta roofing. As you may have noticed, Alpharetta neighborhoods are being flooded with out-of-state license plates and fly-by-night opportunists who are looking to capitalize on your hail damage. There are many problems with these “Storm Chasers.” In some cases, liens were put against homeowners because these un-licensed roofers failed to pay for the building materials and skipped town, leaving unsuspecting homeowners with the bills. In other cases, shoddy work was done in a hurry and the homeowners could not even redeem their warranty because the “Alpharetta roofers” had already packed up their local office and went back home to another state – or to another geographic location ravaged by storms! Be sure to check with the Georgia Secretary of State to ensure your Alpharetta roofers are actually a trusted, local company.

To find the best Alpharetta roofers, you should make more than one phone call. You’ll find that the caliber of professionalism, the services and the quotes vary widely. One Alpharetta roofing company may refuse to do the work unless you’ll pay for replacement of rotted fascia and soffits first. Another batch of Alpharetta roofers may take a casual approach, chatting distractedly with you before spouting off some exorbitantly high figure. In the end, you’ll be looking for Alpharetta roofers who come with their tape measures, paperwork and tools to give you a sound estimate.

In some cases, cheaper is not necessarily better. If one Alpharetta roofing bid is significantly lower than the others, they may be dealing with inexperienced Alpharetta roofers, sub-par materials or less comprehensive warranties. Perhaps you may even be expected to dispose of the waste! Maybe they will do such a bad job that the manufacturer refuses to even honor the warranty. It’s simply not worth the risk to save a few bucks. When calling, be sure to ask for a few homeowner references and get an opinion on the job that they did. Pick a nice day and take a drive out into the country to actually see some of the jobs they’ve done. It’s a nice excuse to get out of the house and enjoying the nice weather, anyway.
