The Importance of Choosing the Right Roofing Contractor: A Message from Sam Boak

bad roofing contractor stay away

At Boak & Sons, we take pride in our commitment to excellence. From the very first shingle we lay to every customer interaction, our goal is to provide top-notch service. But did you know that on average, we replace on average three roofs every year that are not even five years old? This surprising statistic highlights a critical issue: previous contractors often fail to install roofs correctly the first time.

No Cutting Corners

Our philosophy is simple: do it right the first time. When it comes to roofing, there are no shortcuts. Boak & Sons never cuts corners. We believe in quality workmanship, attention to detail, and ensuring that every aspect of your roofing project meets the highest standards. Whether it’s a repair, replacement, or new installation, we take the time to get it right.

The Cost of Inexperience

Unfortunately, not all roofing contractors share our commitment. When a roof isn’t fixed correctly initially, it can lead to a cycle of frustration. Homeowners who thought their roofing woes were behind them suddenly find themselves facing the need for another replacement. The financial strain of having to replace a roof “Again” can be overwhelming.

Financing Solutions

We understand that unexpected expenses can be challenging. That’s why Boak & Sons offers financing solutions. Our goal is to ensure that you’re covered without breaking the bank. Don’t let budget constraints prevent you from getting the quality roofing services you deserve.

Speak Up

Have you had a bad experience with a contractor? We encourage you to speak up. Contact the Better Business Bureau and share your experience. By doing so, you can help prevent others from going through the same ordeal. Your feedback matters, and it can make a difference.

Beware of Faulty Contractors

Choosing the right roofing contractor is crucial. Here are some signs to watch out for:

1.Written Estimates: Ensure that the contractor provides detailed, written estimates. Transparency is key.

2. Product Names: Ask about the specific products they’ll be using. Reputable contractors should be able to provide this information.

3. “Same Day Price” Offers: Be wary of contractors who promise immediate pricing. Quality work requires thorough assessment, not rushed decisions.

4. Check Reviews: Investigate online reviews, consult the Better Business Bureau, and reach out to your local home builders association.

5. Avoid Out-of-State Contractors: Stick with local professionals who understand the unique challenges of your area.

6. Repair Services: Confirm that the contractor offers repair services in addition to installations.

7. Warranties: Don’t hesitate to ask about workmanship warranties and manufacturer warranty information.

8. Verify Legal Business Name: Ensure that the contractor operates under a legitimate business name.

At Boak & Sons, we stand by our work and our reputation. We’re here to ensure your roofing experience is seamless and stress-free. Choose wisely, and let us be your trusted roofing partner.
