Roofing Companies in Colorado Springs
In the process of selecting from roofing companies Colorado Springs has a large number of roofers to choose from. In selecting a roofer there are many articles and I’d like to approach this topic with a fresh and what may be to you a surprisingly honest perspective. It may be a little unusual for a contractor to speak life into this topic. There’s a lot of information disseminated through the media and internet regarding how to choose a roofing contractor, especially around the “storm season” from April through September. Some of it is factual and some of it is nothing more than fiction. https://youtu.be/4Kjy9IKQuI0
Homeowners are savvy and typically are able to field through marketing efforts that have been created to direct the homeowner to the one and only “best of the best” contractor who, of course, happens to be the contractor writing the article. I’m not going to do that to you.
In this article we will divide fact from fiction. Somewhere in the middle of most advertisements or media campaigns is a measure of truth; albeit, sometimes only a sliver of truth or possibly volumes of truth. Let me get to the shockingly main point that is always overlooked on the news. You may not want to hear this.
The whole truth begins with you. If you select a contractor that covers your deductible, both you and the contractor are actually committing fraud. A false statement in the form of an invoice has to be sent to the insurance company. In order to recover the full depreciation, this document is stating that you paid your deductible. There is no legal way that this can be done per Senate Bill 38.
Ignorance of the law isn’t an acceptable excuse when you participate in fraud. Don’t commit fraud by allowing a contractor to cover (steal from the insurance company) your deductible. If you want to act with integrity than you must pay your deductible. It doesn’t matter that your neighbor used a known fraud and they didn’t get caught. Each year many complaints are filed against roofers committing illegal activity. One form of illegal activity prosecuted is the willing participation of fraud by both the homeowner and the contractor. In our city with many roofing companies Colorado Springs has its share of unethical contractors. Stay away from these guys!
Don’t be surprised if you go this route and the roof system fails. It cost money to get a high quality product. There are no short cuts. The insurance adjusters do not overfund roof replacement claims to pad the deductible amount. Every allocated dollar should go into your roof replacement. Do what’s best for you and only use a contractor that requires you to pay your deductible. That’s a hard and unpopular truth that the media doesn’t mention as prevalently. Avoid being deceived by using a deceiving contractor.
