Call (469) 649-7066When hail comes through Allen, the next thing that comes through is door knockers. Some are local roofers; many are crews that follow storms from state to state. The pitch is familiar: "we're working on your neighbor's roof, we noticed damage on yours, sign here and we'll handle your insurance." Before you sign anything at your front door, know the rules that protect you:
Many storm crews ask homeowners to sign a "contingency agreement" before the adjuster comes, saying the roofer will do the work if insurance approves the claim. It sounds harmless. In practice it can commit you to that roofer at whatever price the claim pays, before you have compared anyone else. Read it, keep a copy, and remember the three-day cancellation window applies if it was signed at your home.
