1 Terrible Frisco Roofer

 

Bad Frisco Roofing Contractor

We recently completed a project and just reminded us about how being a reliable Frisco roofer is so important. The homeowner had hired a different Frisco roofing company several years ago to replace their roof. They had contacted the previous Frisco roofer to come out and check their roof out as they had noticed several leaks in their upstairs bedrooms. The roofing company that had previously replaced their roof wasn’t returning calls to come out and check the roof out.

The company to previously replace their roof was a friend of theirs but ended up doing a very poor replacement. The homeowner reached out to us to schedule an inspection to see if we could find where the leaks were coming from. We found the leaks coming from flashing that was not installed correctly. We also discovered extensive hail damage from a storm that was probably from the previous year. 

Farmers Insurance

 The homeowner started a claim with Farmers, and we went to work. Farmers ended up having us document all the damage as they weren’t sending people to the field at the time because of COVID. The previous Frisco roofer to do this house did a very poor job and cut lots of corners. 

They didn’t replace any of their soft metal accessories on top of the roof. Even worse than that was they installed the flashing at the front of the house incorrectly which is what was causing the leaks. Farmers ended up covering full replacement of roof but wouldn’t cover the leaks because it was caused by improper installation of the previous Frisco roofing contractor. 

No Permit

I checked permit history on the house and the previous Frisco roofing company didn’t pull permits either. I was not surprised about this at all as it’s very typical for companies that don’t stand behind their work. This is a huge red flag as any legitimate Frisco roofing contractor will pull permits with Frisco when replacing the roof.

City of Frisco requires you to have active insurance when you pull a permit. It protects the homeowner to make sure they are hiring a legitimate contractor. Luckily for the homeowner the damage caused by the leaks was only a few hundred dollars and an easy fix.

Vetting a Frisco Roofer

So, when you are looking for a Frisco roofing company you need to make sure they pull a permit 100% of the time. You can even request to see proof they have active general liability insurance. Check their reviews online and ask for some referrals of theirs.

The homeowner was obviously frustrated at their friend and the previous contractor that ended up ignoring their calls when issues came up. Luckily it was a fairly easy fix and was caught pretty soon.

  Local Frisco Roofing Contractor Anytime a storm hits an area you will get a flood of people that come in from out of state and out of the city. We just had a storm in Frisco, TX in February and within a day or two there were countless roofing companies driving around with out of state plates. Generally, these companies will hire door knockers to canvas neighborhoods and set up appointments.  Lots of local Frisco roofing are good contractors that use door knockers as well, but you want to be sure you hire a local Frisco roofer or another contractor that is in the DFW metroplex. Storm chasers a lot of times they will get a local number and a temporary PO Box in the area to appear like a Frisco roofer.
