Five Things A Roofing Contractor Will Never Say
I've been dealing with roofing contractors and other
contractors for quite some time. There's a couple of things that most
roofing contractors will never seem to admit to. Here's some things that
you won't find roofing contractors ever saying to their clients.
1. It's my fault. The minute that your roofing contractor admits blame,
they're going to have to pay to repair the problem. Even if it is their
fault, they will often direct blame towards something else. Sometimes
the something else, will be their workers or the roofing manufacturer.
2. I'll be over immediately. I think that the word immediately in the
construction business, often refers to a time schedule that meets the
roofing contractor's needs and not the homeowner or client. Whenever a
roofing contractor says that they will be over immediately, you can plan
on a few days at least.
3. The new roof I installed is leaking. This doesn't make any sense, the
roofing contractor had just installed a new roof, how could it be
leaking. Most of the time these roofing contractors will act confused,
when you call them about a roof leak. Especially the ones who didn't do
the work themselves.
4. I'll refund you some of your money. If a roofing contractor bids your
job, and adds a little bit more money, because he expects some
difficulties and these difficulties never occur, why wouldn't your
contractor refund you some of your money. I don't think this is ever
going to happen.
5. My roofing crew isn't qualified. This is the best one yet, some
roofing crews, have one guy that kind of knows what he's doing and he's
leading around two or three others that are trying to figure out, how to
roof the house. This happens every once in a while and it's sad, but
when a large roofing company, gets busier and takes on more work than it
should have, they seem to hire anyone, to fill the void.
I'm just messing around with a roofing contractors, I hope you had fun
reading this article, even though it doesn't apply to every roofing
company and for the most part, most roofing companies that have been
around, for over 20 years, seem to be responsible and provide excellent
service to their customers.
