Aren't All Roofers in Weatherby Lake, Missouri The Same?

Insurance companies will try to make you think you need to go get three or more estimates, like that's in your policy or something. Well, it's not. When you need a roof replacement or roof repair due to storm damage, fire, or other disaster, and you have an insurance claim, you're in a vulnerable position, and you'll never recover for the inconvenience and sometimes heartache you go through. Even hail damage means you need major construction on your house. It might not look like it, but if you've ever been inside a house getting a new roof, it's like the 4th of July all day long. Bang bang bang. Dirt and debris and trash everywhere (which they will pick up, of course, but still...).

To add insult to injury, your insurance company wants you to get multiple estimates for the repairs, implying that contractors are going to try to price gouge you, and rip you off, and you better search for the lowest price - look for the thrift store of roofers, in other words. Common sense tells you that you are going to get what you pay for, but you feel obligated to get the "best price." Sound familiar?

Here's a story, there's a YouTube video about it. It's one example but this happens much more than you might think, just search for worst roofing job ever. This story goes that insurance paid for a new roof, and the homeowners got multiple estimates. One roofer bid $400 less than another who did the video. He was going to do the job right, but they went with the cheaper contractor. He got called back out months later to look at the leaks.

This other contractor didn't remove the old roof, he just put shingles right over the old ones. He didn't replace any vents or flashings, he didn't even bother to tuck the new shingles under the old flashings. They didn't caulk all the exposed nails. Now the whole roof needs to be torn off and replaced, at full price - well, more, because there are now two layers of shingles. But guess what? Insurance won't pay for the redo, because that wasn't caused by a "covered peril."

We see botched install jobs all the time. It seems that everyone with a hammer and a truck can be a roofer, and these roofers like to go around and "fix" people's roofs. Sometimes they don't take the deposit and run. Sometimes they actually show up and do work, and sometimes it would have been better if they'd skipped town.

So how do you avoid having your house on YouTube with the title "worst roofing job ever!"? Here are a few hints. Don't go with the cheapest roofer in Weatherby Lake, MO  you can find. Go with someone who's been doing this for a long time. Go with someone who backs their work with the best warranty in the industry. Cook Roofing Company roofers in Weatherby Lake, Missouri treat our customers like we treat our friends and family, and your house like it was our own.

FAQ

How do I tell if I get a bad roof repair?
If you want to make sure that your roof repair was done correctly, then are a few things to look out for in your new roof:

  • Simply put, check your roof for a consistent appearance
    • A sub-par roof repair will consist of different colored shingles, or the new shingles may be a different material from the old shingles.
  • Nails used improperly on shingles
    • Expert roofing contractors will know how to use proper nailing techniques. If you see that nails are pushed in too deeply (as if too much pressure was used when they were applied), or if the nails are rusted, then your roof was installed poorly.  A good roofer won't use too much pressure when nailing, and they will use rust-resistant nails.
  • Re-used Flashing
    • This is one of the more overt signs that you've used a bad roofing service. Old flashing should only be used once, and any roofer that attempts to re-use old flashing when repair your roof cares more about getting paid than doing a proper repair.
  • Drip Edge Flashing is not included in your roof repair
    • Typically, Edge Flashing has been included in repairs in recent years. It's designed to protect against water damage and pest infestation. If your roof repair is missing this component, you've gotten a less than decent repair.
  • Not addressing possible rotted roof decking
    • Any good roofer will tear away the old material and check to see if the roof decking is rotted underneath. Without this problem being addressed, the new shingle and flashing will have a hard to time staying nailed to the rotted plywood underneath that wasn't replaced.
Will you remove and replace my old roof?
If the damage to your roof is extensive and more than a simple patch-up is required, then a replacement of your roof is most likely the route that will be taken. If you do not have a newer roof, attempting to make simple repairs will cause more damage to the flashing on your roof, and you'll face additional problems within several months. In the case of an old roof, the best thing to do is replace the roof and ensure that you won't have additional leaks for years to come.
What should be in my roofing estimate?

Before you blindly commit to a roof repair, there are a few expenses you should look out for in your estimate. Make sure that your estimate is as specific and has a line item list for you to review that includes items such as the following: (any repairs that your get for your roof that you don't see in the estimate will be factored into the final cost and likely make it higher than the original estimate)

  • Shingle cost
  • The number of nails used per shingle
  • Whether you got Active or Passive Ventilation installed
  • If Ridge Capping was installed
  • If an Underlayment was installed
  • If a Drip Edge was installed
  • If an Ice & Water Shield was installed
  • How many pipe boots were installed, if any
  • How many layers of your old roof will be removed
  • If there was rotten decking was removed
  • What warranties you'll get with your roof replacement
  • How long your estimate is valid (typically 90 days)
  • A Right to Recession (for you to back out of using a contractor)
