Roofer Rip-off, Buyer Beware.
Is your roofing contractor legitimate? Or are you going to be ripped off?
That’s the question which was posed on this past Saturdays CBC , The Fifth Estate. What a great show!
We hear the nightmares but are they really true? My answer is absolutely 110%. Horror stories happen every day.
Customers did not receive what they were promised, homes left in a mess, and others being completely ripped off with no where to go.
You as a consumer or a building contractor need to do the right amount of homework ALL the time.
Criteria must haves.
1. Current WSIB , up to date account. Get a hard copy.
2. Fall Protection certified. Get a copy of the card,
3. Contractors liability Insurance, get a hard copy.
4. WHIMIS and First Aid certified.
5. Current references. Get it in writing and phone or go by and see the projects.
6. A written contract that is signed by both parties and clearly understood.
7. Supplier name and number, call to see how your contractor handles their material supplier business relationship.
8. A friend/associate, that has used their services fairly current, is a great help.
These are just a few good points that can help you make a solid decision in choosing the right roofing contractor.
