Introduction

As the seasons change, so does the weather. Storms roll in, leaving behind a trail of damage—especially to our roofs. It’s during these times that we see an influx of contractors knocking on doors, promising quick fixes and low prices. But how do you know who to trust? In this blog post, I’ll share insights on why you should be cautious, how to choose a reliable contractor, and why Boak & Sons stands out in the industry.

1. Storm Chasers: Proceed with Caution

Storm chasers—those contractors who swoop into an area after a storm—can be tempting. They promise rapid repairs and often work without proper credentials. Here’s why you should think twice:

Lack of Local Knowledge: Storm chasers may not know the unique challenges of our valley. They’re unfamiliar with local building codes, weather patterns, and community needs.

Quality Concerns: Their focus is on quantity, not quality. Cutting corners becomes the norm, leaving homeowners with subpar workmanship.

No Accountability: Once the storm passes, they move on to the next location. If issues arise later, good luck tracking them down.

2. The Loyal Local Option: Boak & Sons

3. Educate Your Peers, Elderly, and Neighbors
