Colorado Roofing Industry Tips

Frailey Roofing is one of the most trusted leaders in the roofing industry.  Don’t hesitate to contact us at 303-993-5145 if you need help.  You must be very cautious of who you hire when in need of roof work. Oftentimes, unethical roofers go door-to-door or advertise roof services when they may not plan to do any work at all, or may do shoddy work. With unscrupulous contracts and high pressure sales tactics, you may be unfairly taken for your money. You won’t see us in your neighborhood unless we’ve been called to assist one of your neighbors.  Our reputation means something to us.  Please note the following tips:

  • Don’t be pushed into signing a contract right away.
  • Know that anything you sign, no matter what you are told, can be considered a binding contract so read very carefully before signing anything.
  • Get everything in writing. Cost, work to be done, time schedule, guarantees, payment schedule and other expectations should be detailed.
    Ask for references and check them out.
  • Never sign a contract with blanks. Unscrupulous contractors may enter unacceptable terms later.
  • Never pay a contractor in full or sign a completion certificate until the work is truly completed. A deposit may be required upon start of your project.
  • Insurance coverage may be rendered void if intentional misrepresentation by a policyholder is discovered.
  • A catastrophe greatly magnifies the opportunity for insurance fraud and abuse. Don’t be tempted to conspire in an insurance claim. Insurance fraud is a felony.
  • Verify applicable licensing and permits with your city and county. Do not secure the permit on your own, and make sure the permit is posted before the work begins.
  • Check out the company with the Colorado Secretary of State. This will tell you if they are registered with the state and when they were incorporated. This ensures that the company has a presence in Colorado.
