Is cheaper better?

When a good contractor gets beat out by someone who can do it cheaper it doesn’t mean they found someone better. It means they found someone that is saving money. Which usually means cutting corners.

Here are corners roofers cut when the say I can do it cheaper.

1. Reuse of roof items like vents and pipe jacks. Many which are cracked which will cause leaking.

2. Leaving the felt on. When you leave the felt you ignore any decking issues. And rotten decking spreads.

3. Lack of transparency. Most of those contractors won’t explain what they’re actually working in and just take your money.

When it comes to your home, do your homework.

Potential Consequences of Not Repairing pulled from
• Future claims may be denied or reduced — If the same damage worsens (e.g., a roof leak from unrepaired hail damage causes more interior issues), insurers may refuse coverage, arguing it could have been prevented.
• Policy non-renewal or cancellation — Insurers may drop you if they learn the damage wasn’t fixed, as it increases their risk.
