Storm Damage Roof? Watch Out for These Common Scams!
Attention Evansville, Owensboro, and Tri-State homeowners—read this before you sign anything!
After a major storm, your roof might be your biggest concern. Wind, hail, and heavy rain can cause serious damage. Unfortunately, many homeowners fall victim to out-of-town “storm chasers” and shady contractors. Here’s what to watch out for—and how Upright Construction does things differently:
1. High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Some companies may pressure you to sign a contract immediately after a storm, even offering a “free roof.” But signing too early can lock you into a contract with someone you don’t know.
2. “We’ll File Your Claim for You”
Be cautious if a company offers to file your insurance claim for you. In Indiana and Kentucky, contractors can’t negotiate with your insurance unless licensed. At Upright Construction, we guide you through the process without crossing legal lines.
3. Out-of-Town Roofers Who Disappear
Some contractors follow storms, collect payments, and vanish. Upright Construction is a local, family-owned roofing company in Evansville, serving Owensboro and the Tri-State area. We’re here when you need us!
What Should You Do After a Storm?
- Take photos of any roof or gutter damage.
- Call your insurance company to start the claim.
- Schedule a local inspection from a trusted company.
Upright Construction offers storm damage inspections with honest feedback—no pressure, no nonsense.
