Here is a list of questions to ask a prospective contractor including the answers that you should expect.
Ask the following questions:
1. Do you have general liability insurance? Can I see a copy or verify that it is indeed active? It is very important that your roofer have this insurance as a protection for you, the homeowner.
2. How many roofs have you done in the area? Do you have references? May I call them? Take the time to call these references and ask them about their roofing experience.
3. Do you have any complaints filed at the Better Business Bureau? Regardless of their answer, you can verify this information by visiting the Better Business Bureau. Click here to find out more.
4. When will I be expected to pay for the job? The contractor should reply, “An initial payment will be due, when we have the materials or have placed the order for the materials (some materials like slate, tile, etc. are special order with no return policy).” The contractor should not expect final payment until all the work is completed.
5. Can you help me with my insurance claim? Part of a roofing company’s job should be to help homeowners with their insurance claims. That is why CLC Roofing has licensed insurance adjusters who can help the homeowner navigate the insurance claim process.
In addition, it is important to know your rights when purchasing a roof. Insurance companies often encourage homeowners to get multiple bids merely as a delay tactic while they schedule an adjuster to come evaluate the roofs. However, it isn’t necessary for you to go this route. Waiting around on multiple contractors can be a waste of your time. It is important to know that if you have a trusted roofing company that has answered all of your questions, the insurance company is required to pay the appropriate market value for a quality roofing job in your area.
Furthermore, many homeowners become nervous about raised premiums or a canceled insurance policy from filing a roof claim. Insurance premiums are not raised or lowered based on bad weather in your area. Insurance companies can’t raise premiums based on acts of God/Mother Nature nor can they cancel policies. Homeowners should understand that insurance premiums are regulated by the State Board of Insurance in Austin, TX not by your specific insurance company based on claims.
CLC Roofing knows that replacing a roof can lead to a lot of questions which is why we are committed to giving you the knowledge necessary for a successful roof replacement. Please call our office at 800-810-2521 with any questions or to schedule your free roof assessment today.

Many homeowners are overwhelmed by the idea of a new roof for one reason-the cost! Yes, replacing a roof can be an expensive endeavor even with insurance covering the majority of the costs. Some disreputable roofers prey on homeowners promising them a “free” roof in exchange for advertising and promise to waive their insurance deductible. Sadly, this practice is not only illegal but puts the homeowners at risk for insurance fraud which is a felony!
So what should you be aware of before hiring a roofing contractor? First, know your deductible. This is the amount of money out of pocket that you will be required to pay for your new roof. The amount varies depending on your policy. If the deductible is something that you can’t pay outright, a reputable roofing company might give you financing options, but regardless of how it is paid, your insurance company will see this deductible. A less reputable company will find some way to “waive” this deductible but that puts you at risk for fraud since the insurance company expects you to be responsible for paying your deductible!
Things that you should watch out for when your roofer claims that you don’t need to pay a deductible.
1. Look at your invoice. Does it state clearly that the deductible was “waived” or “discounted?” It is illegal for the roofer to not disclose this information because the amount of the deductible determines how much the insurance company will pay for the roof.
2. Is your roofer offering an advertising agreement in exchange for your business and claiming that you won’t need to pay a deductible? The roofer is committing insurance fraud if he claims that he collected your deductible when in fact he has not. What is worse? By allowing this roofer to do this, you are committing insurance fraud as well, a felony!
3. If your roofer is willing to cut corners to make a profit at the expense of the insurance company, they are likely to cut corners on your roof as well to maximize the profit. Is that a risk that you are willing to take?
When looking for a roofing contractor with integrity and a long standing relationship with the Better Business Bureau as well as many happy customers, look no further than CLC Roofing. Our tradition of providing our customers with quality roofs and working hand in hand with insurance companies provides you with a piece of mind that you can trust.

Storms rolled through North Texas in the past few days, and strong winds and hail where reported throughout the metroplex. Below is a map of the hardest hit areas. Prosper in particular bore the brunt of the storm
As you can see, the damage was extensive in many areas. What does a roof look like after a hail storm? Below are some pictures from one of CLC’s many corporate clients.
The blue circles highlight holes in the roof that can become bigger problems later if left untreated. Damaged shingles can result in leaks but more importantly a weakening of the roof itself. When your roof has been compromised, your energy bills can increase as well as the underlying structure of the roof making for more extensive costly repairs to your home later. Reason one why it is so important to have a trusted roofing company like CLC Roofing inspect your roof after a big storm.
Indentations in the metal portion of the roof might seem like only a cosmetic issue; however these indentations give an indication to the extent of hail and size of the hail that fell during the storm. They are pieces of the puzzle in determining your roof’s ability to withstand a large storm and how much storm damage occureed.
CLC Roofing can provide valuable guidance when it comes to roof and home maintenance. Our team of licensed insurance adjustors can walk you through the process of roof assesment to handling the red tape of insurance claims. Storm season is upon us in North Texas.
