Door Knockers?

/

Our technicians have been busy meeting with homeowners in Fort Collins and Windsor after last weeks hailstorm and a common story we hear from almost every homeowner is the crazy amount of door knockers they've encountered already. One person told us that she has had 12 different salesmen knock on her door! Some as early as 7:30am and as late as 8:30pm in the past week.

DOOR KNOCKING companies flock from all over the state and country. Be patient, determine your needs, research the right company for you, and don't allow yourself to be pressured.

If you are asked to sign anything by a solicitor knocking on your door, don't sign it right away and don't assume it is just an estimate or permission to get on your roof. The majority of the time it is a roofing contract and probably includes a 20% cancellation fee.

We hear about all kinds of ways homeowners are dealing with the onslaught of door knockers and some of them are brilliant. Check out this clever way sent to us by good friends earlier this year.

July 29th Hail Storm

/

The hail storm on July 29th 2018 was a bad one. We've had reports of large marble to golf ball sized hail. We hope everyone is safe.

Some helpful tips: 

Broken Items: If you have experienced any broken windows or skylights use caution when trying to do any temporary repairs. Give our office a call if they are located in areas you are unable to access easily. Document any other damage you may find over the next couple of days and determine if you have any emergency repairs that need addressed. 

Door Knocking Companies: Just like the June 19th storm, this storm was large enough to attract out-of-town and out-of-state contractors. Download our "No Knocking Sign" and only allow local and trusted contractors on your roof.

Contacting Slaughter Roofing: Our office is still receiving a high volume of calls from the last storm and if we are unable to receive your call -- please leave us a message and we will get right back to you. Our office staff is the best and will be glad to return your call and answer any questions you may have.

Be Patient: Local quality contractors are busy and your insurance company understands this. Many companies give 1-2 years to repair any damages. Don't be pressured into getting your roof done right away.

Thank you to Steve Pratz, Brian Miller, and Mike Montoya for the pictures.
