Sounds like a scam artist so I reported him on Instagram. Love that lady! "What kind of roofer doesn't have a ladder?" Good damned question!
No he can't.@@MirglipEA
😂😂😂Ryte no ladder no roofer a poser 1800$ for what he didn’t come to her house he crazy
@@Juann-mo4bvYes ABSOLUTELY!!! ESPECIALLY when doing it with No personal knowledge and Definitely if it's traced back to this Video because there's no personal fact based knowledge. But our country is out of hand Litigation with so many wanting money not deserved or Earned. 😭
@@patrickstotler1201 You have the right to report people you think are scam. It is in the policy and rules of all the social media websites.
Why would you report someone that has done nothing to you? Come on now. What a childish thing to do.
LOL. What a nice lady. But, the roofer not having his own stuff to give the neighbor an estimate should have been the first red flag and a clear signal to run far, far away from this clown.
Could have stopped at " Instagram roofer " and called it good .
@@tinman7342exactly 😂 run!
@@tinman7342 something tells me she's not big on Instagram, so probably just saw him as a "roofer".
Are you serious and you literally just set it out of your mouth from what you understoodyou understood that if you signed the paper that you signed and you didn't give him the work that you would owe him the money you signed the paper, and then you didn't let him do the job so that. Means you owe money. And that is actually not a scam, but you should have read it and it says right there if you give the job to someone else that you still owe him the money. That's what he's gonna teach these people on this course. No matter what job you do, you need to have the clause in there that they must let you do the job or still pay you anyway. And that's what he made you signed. You signed it and now you owe him money and you're upset. That's how you don't have to chase people down for your money. That's how you guarantee you're gonna get paid. No matter what you put it right in there that they have to pay you once they sign this paper. That is literally so smart because people I wasn't literally goes of guns to law like really hard or just hard whatever you put into the contract, people have to follow it. You don't think it's stupid if you agree to a right there in the contract, then you have to follow it.
@@DFRKRAs I understand it, the contract is drawn up with improper/illegal wording and would be harder to enforce. Otherwise, I agree that a signed contract is a legally binding document and should be enforced.
I hope more people see this and realize this influencer is just posing as a contractor.
and a loser.
Yeah never hire black people
Influencer? Hilarious
Um,,,, I don't understand,, can u explain. (i need to get work done on my house),,,TY
wouldn't matter All "Followers" are dumb
Sounds like he's not an actual contractor, just a scam artist who is also training others how to pull the same stunt.
You have to be licensed to address an insurance company with scope of work . What bothers me more is people trust clown blacks for construction/home improvement jobs...

@mikeylopez9625 Clown Black's?
I'm a real estate investor & rehabber. The first clown contractor that I encountered was hispanic. I saw right through him.
I encountered 3 more clown contractor after him.
I also attempted to do business with a clown contractor/scammer who was a whyte company who came recommended.
Neither of them got away with any money or materials.
It was a black owned company and contractor who not only completed my rehab, but they did exceptional work, they were prompt, and professional.
The point is, clown contractors come in all races. Messy's have been the worst of them all from my experience.
@mikeylopez9625 what bothers me is that you bring race into this at all
I love the $1 Labor Charge that she included at the end.
Yeah that was a nice touch
so, really, she's doing the roofer a favor by agreeing to call it off
@@YeahYeahBeebisIHer invoice is cute, but she signed an actual contract with an $1,800 cancelation fee. Are hotel and airline cancelation fees a scam?

woah buddy why fuck me? i dont understand why youre yelling at me
“What roofer doesn’t have a ladder!?” lol seems to be a sweet lady

"Doesn't mean that it's not valid, it just means that it doesn't comply with the law."
Never heard a more Lawyer sentence in my life.
It could be valid just also illegal 🤷 pffft what clowns.
I guess what's valid is what you can get away with.
The way contracts work if one section is not enforceable - either because it doesn't comply with the law or because a judge strikes it down. That doesn't invalidate the rest of the contract.
This is especially important when you're in an industry where several highly paid people will try to nit-pick every word on the page to try and find technicalities to break contracts.
This is why I really don't like dealing with lawyers.
In Florida, the owner can cancel the contract for any reason at any time. But the contractor is entitled to services rendered prior. So being that he didn't do any work, he isn't entitled to anything
you only have 3 business days,
What about lost business..
If you book a time frame with a person that means others get turned away or refuse service becsue of the wait time..
That should be covered if you sign a contract..
Also lots of office work would be involved and maybe materials..
The important thing is don't sign a contract unless you are sure and make sure the contract protects you like its void if the contacter does not start an end the work in a rough time frame etc..
@@zakofrx there is reasons beyond human control. Maybe you hire me to remodle a kitchen. You agree to pay me 30k. But one week later, you have a car accident. Your whole life is uprooted. You can cancel my contract. If work started, you owe me for what was done. But I can't sue you for the remaining 28k. I hope this helps.
I gave a deposit and he kept saying he's working on a big project and when I called again he said he was working on another big project so I told him I wanted my 4000 deposit back and he said no and was very nasty and said I signed a contract but I couldn't find it because I was remolding my who house it was for a masters bathroom just the shower no doors or fixtures and I had to buy the supplies he called me back a hour later and read me the contact I said to email it me he never did his worker's were wonderful and they even said not so nice things about him I learned my lesson and I have never remolded a house and then he wanted me to send pictures of the bathroom I never did just because I'm a woman doesn't mean he should take advantage of anyone
@@fayezentner2244 I am studying as I said so I'm not 100% on everything. The deposit you might not be entitled to. But you can cancel the contract without worrying about being sued for the remainder of it.
The take away here is, especially in litigious USA, NEVER lend out your ladder, leaf blower and extension cord.
Or simply read a contract before signing it...
Lent out a brand new lawn mower to an Arab neighbor of mine years ago. He gave it to a non-English speaking cousin to mow his lawn, The cousin kept cutting until the bag was so full he had to clear the port into the bag because it was solid with grass. He did so. With the engine ON. Afterwards, he could only count to six on his fingers.
The lawyers came after us later. The only two things which saved us from a lawsuit were that I had lent it to my neighbor, not his cousin, and the mower was brand new with all pertinent safety features attached.
The fingers were reattached, but I doubt he'd ever play the cello again...
Apparently the contract was corrupt, KorupptzZz. It was unenforceable under state law.@@kuruptzZz
@@cdc3A brand new mower will not stay running when the deadman is let go . How would this non English speaking cousin of the Arab remove the grass collector and kneel down to clear the grass without letting go of the handle . Please explain in more detail .
No the takeaway is that if a questionable tradesman gives you a contract to sign, don’t sign it.
LOL. I love her invoice!
Smart lady!
What an FING SCAM ARTIST! They need to look into this company for rampant FRAUD
Let’s take a look into his taxes as well….
Chuck-In-A-Truck Roofing? Good luck with that.
What is the scam? The fee is in the contract. We have some things he MIGHT have done wrong but all the report said was "Instagram roofer wants $1,800 because homeowner gave job to someone else" which is exactly what the cancelation fee covers.
@@Chat562 I’ll tell you how: BTW, I own a roofing company with my Husband. We do both residential and commercial roofing. This is a guy who is “finding” storm damage on homes that have no roof issues. One of their FAVORITE scams is claiming “hail damage”. The insurance companies are too busy to perform their own inspections so they take the estimate from the “Roofer” and cut them a check…a check for a BS “storm damage” reroof job. These Homeowners then get a nice fat hike in insurance premiums because of a claim for BULLS#IT reroof jobs. These are the scam artists that go door to door and say “I’ll get you a free new roof”. They have DESTROYED business here in Florida for LEGIT LICENSED Roofing Contractors who come *** when called*** by a homeowner. It’s an FING SCAM and they have created an insurance nightmare for homeowners.
It sounds like his “roofing company” looks for government contracts or insurance repairs snd then he proceeds to charge the maximum he can squeeze out of these sources while subcontracting the company that actually does the work for less.
Easy money. While charging the most on one end he probably pays as little as possible on the other.!
Find those he has subcontracted with and you will probably hear stories.
I want a million dollars from the company I didn't get the job at because I didn't pass the interview.
That's a different situation. In that case no contract has yet been signed. But if you and the employer *_had_* signed a contract and then they decided to cancel, they would owe you money.
Please, sue them for preparing for the interview, going to the interview and answering their questions in the interview...lol...
@@MilescoNo they wouldn’t
@@Milesco " I want a million dollars from the company I didn't get the job at because I didn't pass the interview."

@@UserUser-ww2nj Could also be interpreted as a sarcastic comment in order to make a point.
How many elderly folks has fallen to his scam?? Someone needs to take a look... Please!!
This country needs to do a much better job protecting our elderly. It's a national disgrace how the government lets the worst con artists grifters run rampant ripping off elderly and even worse does absolutely nothing about the countless overseas scammers across the entire planet constantly going after America's elderly, that everyone knows is going on. Yet the government lets these overseas scammers literally drain America's elderly bank accounts completely dry!
This guy is a shady contractor and should be banned from doing business in the State of Georgia. I have been in the construction field for over 30 years and have never heard anything like this.
Several roofers I had out had similar verbiage they wanted signed that day.
@@SellingthesuburbsofAtlanta People have to be vigilant. Never sign anything without understanding the meaning/consequences of every sentence. Always ask the contractor for the list of jobs he has completed in the last 6 months/ year with their phone numbers. Look at BBB complaints. Time spent in research beforehand will save you money and headaches later.
He would only start a new company with different name and start all over again.
It's Atlanta, he'll be the DA next.
They're in Canada. they're called Crackheads. Residential const. is full of them, but they target vulnerable: women who don't work, seniors, extremely overloaded and busy, you know, good targets that will buy a good instant one time appeal and a little pressure.
I was a roofer for 31 years. 20 years in business for myself. This guy needs to go to jail.
I would never do any business with Preston Lathan after watching this video.
I'm not a criminal lawyer, but I have seen people get convicted & sentenced to prison for extortion.
Hopefully, the women featured in this news report can file a police report to stop him from bothering her.
Please explain how a cancelation fee is extortion. Do you call the police on Delta when you cancel your flight and have to pay the change fee?
@@Chat562
Signing a roofing job without actually being able to perform the work at all is a textbook case of an act in bad faith, which renders the contract misleading (and thus null and void).
Law assuming the guy is supposed to know that, doubling down on wanting money you're not entitled to becomes a crime at some point. Extortion is after all the use of threats and or violence to get money you're not legally entitled to. Disputes cover a lot, but not blatant extortion.
@@nvelsen1975 Where do you get the idea that he couldn't perform the work at all? For all we know in this factless report is that he was going to start on Tuesday but she decided on Sunday to get someone to start on Monday.
@@Chat562
Hey it wasn't cool of you to trick her into signing that bro.
Anyway, we know because you didn't have any tools of your own, not even a ladder.
@@nvelsen1975 Who said he didn't have tools? Just because was asked for an estimate when he didn't have tools with him and found a way to get it done?
This man has set himself up for failure. Word of mouth is the best advertisement still today.
This is true even with movies. You could put all the money in marketing but word of mouth is god.
Now he can do a tutorial on how to lose yourself business by being featured on the news as a shady construction business.
What roofer doesn't have a ladder? 😆
As a not roofer, just a guy. I have 34 ladders..
Can i have onr so my other ladder isnt lonely
@@joseimo5907 we have an unfinished job but the contractor left his 20 foot alum.ladder: you can have it, we chained it up. but we're in Canada: we have these types up here; we call them "Crackheads".
The guy is a scam artist. No legitimate contractor would do that.
I'm wondering when he's going to take this to court.. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a contractors license. In my state, as well as GA, a contractor that isn't licensed can't sue you in court. So send all the scarry letters you want, then try to do something about them.
Yet you did not look, you just opened your mouth making assumptions. I'm sure a lot of people want to beat your 🍑
Yeah that doesn't scare me , I'd rather knock a homeowner out cold and take the loss
I wonder if that applies to NH,, lol,,, My wood house needs paint BAD!,, i mean bad.....it is 1)call a licensed, etc etc, person and pay $20,000. 2-Look for a local guy to do it. This guy gave me a $10, k quote,,,,, ?? like does the guy have Ins. if he falls off the ladder in the yard.... prob not. Nobody ever gave a blank if anyone was insured all the 30 yrs been here,, you fall off a ladder,,, its a accident,, no one Sued anybody. I will pay a licensed insured guy to do the roof,,, i found out that has to be done right,,, and im 65, i want like 30 yr kindof roof..... the painting,,, (i can't do it myself,,,),,,, not the high parts anyway,,,, should be alot easier to just get a dude to pain ur house,, it's TINY,, but 2 stories,,,,,, //

Stop signing sh*t without fully reading the contract and if you’re STILL not sure then ask someone that you know will understand and help you!! Stop thinking you don’t ’need help’ with anything 💯🤷🏽♀️😐
I had a lady LEGAL ADVOCATE that would give unlogoed non licensed contractors cheques for the FULL AMOUNT as she "needed it, and wanted it NOW". of course, she got ripped off, just like HER OWN client base she spent time with in court (old ladies, people struggling with a language barrier, new arrivals not knowing the drill)!! Sheesh.
Never hire someone that just shows up at your door.
I'd bill him $900 for the ladder, $900 for the leaf blower, $900 for the Electrical Cord and another $1,200 restocking fee to put everything back where it goes and cleaning of items. For a Total of $3,900 minus his $1,800 Cancellation fee, He now only owes her $2,100.
So pay up tough guy.
That's why you gotta be very careful another scammer gets outed
What is the scam? The fee is in the contract. She signed the contract. Then she broke the contract.
If a roofer shows up without a ladder and the necessary equipment to get up there and do a proper inspection and measurements so they can get an accurate quote then slam the door shut after telling them to take a hike
Depends on the reason..
Randomly asked for one.. In the area after work etc...
I wonder how many people have actually paid him in fear of being sued?
Instagram roofer. Guess he was going to do the job online.
😂😂😂😂😂
He was going to install a virtual reality roof...😂😂
A roofer with out a ladder ..................lol
Is the same as the NFL without footballs, lol.
@@aronbennett1914you mean soccer without soccer balls?
This lady is my hero you want to borrow my stuff you're going to pay up to 😂😂
I'm more amazed the small wooden ladder he borrowed to inspect the roof was even high enough to reach
I've been a builder for 40 years and signed thousands of contracts with customers, here is my opinion on this matter -1) This "roofer" is clearly unprofessional, incompetent and taking advantage of an older woman, 2) It is part of our job to lose business, happens everyday, 3) Never sign a contract without checking references and taking time to think it over. Also, if she did not give him a deposit when signing the contract is null and void, that's the law.
I don't know where this "checking references" thing started but no contractor is going to work with you if you act like you're hiring for the CIA. Would you want random potential customers calling YOU after you had someone do work on your house? No, of course not. Look at Google or use whoever your neighbor used.
So your a Scumbag too?
ive worked in residential construction and i can fake references so easily, ive seen it done.
@@zesolodar Exactly. It's some feel good thing that keeps getting repeated but you'll just get fakes.
Poor lady needs a good pressure washing, wish we lived near by! My son does all our neighbors houses after my father left him his pressure washer. He does the yards too with the John Deer. What a sweet lady she is, someone come through and spruce things up a bit for her and find her some valuable contractors. Everyone wants to take advantage of the sweetest elders, sad to see! God bless her, I hope she gets a good quality roof for a good price!!!
Never do business with a guy who shows up on your driveway. Gypsy maintenance, slam, bam and you are ripped off. They should close that guys business down and revoke his licenses for doing that to that lady.
He is demented...
She is demented!
It appears CoreBlue is providing aerial (drone) photographs of roofs (look at 0:55). Does he possess a FAA Part 107 License to operate a drone for an other than recreational purpose? If he is using someone else to obtain these photos or video, do they possess this license? "The civil penalties for flying a commercial rig without first obtaining a remote pilot’s certificate from the FAA are up to $32,666 for each incidence." Something this lady may want to consider in her legal planning.
Don't sign anything
Don't get work done
As a former contractor I can say emphatically that if he is NOT licensed than he has no standing.
Lesson learned by Atlanta homeowners. Never use this guys roofing service and never ever call him out for a free estimate. Shalom
No, the lesson is don't sign the contract that says you're hiring him and taking a spot on his schedule if you don't agree to the clearly listed cancelation fee.
Or like I said never use this corrupt MF ever. Shalom@@Chat562
Omgggg I love that she wrote up her own invoice. 😂
The takeaway from this is don't sign a contract unless u're doing business with that person. She might get out of it over that one line, but she shouldn't have signed anything unless she was sure she was going to do business with him.
Crazy. He'll never get work again in this town.
Instagram roofer is a big red flag!
That roofer is shadier than any roof
Dude needs a legal punishment.
For what? Enforcing the contract she signed?
I only hire people that have 0 social media accounts.
Maybe improper conduct may be legally rude but not illegal because she can read
Contracts are in place to protect the customer AND the contractor. Don't sign them until you're ready to commit to the project.
She did sign the contract.
But, the contract is invalid because it violated the law.
The entire contract isn't invalid. The lawyer literally said that.
@@Chat562Any judge will throw it out in a heartbeat.
definitely go to the court and don't settle with him when he realizes he's going to lose. he needs to be put out of commission permanently
Rule #1: Thoroughly ready ANYTHING before signing.
MANY roofers do that… it’s slimy and done often. BUT many homeowners use the contractor to get their insurance checks, they get the $$$ and don’t use you or get the work done… but used your estimate to get paid! So I say charge an estimate service fee and if I get the job apply it towards the final payment of the completed work performed.
Always read and ensure you understand anything you sign when you're getting work done or agreeing to terms. Yes, it's excruciatingly boring and mundane, but you may be glad you did. I've learned intereting things about some apartment complexes' policies from doing this
@tommy15319 There is a federal law called Right of Rescission for any contract signed at your home. It does not apply for contracts signed at a place of business.
@@tomm1583 seems like the right of rescission only has to do with mortgages and only under certain conditions from what I can find--nothing mentioned about home vs business signing. Were you trying to say it doesn't apply for a commercial property loan? Could you have meant something else entirely?
@@tommyl5319 The right of rescission is for any contract whether it is a mortgage or construction on your house. If you sign the contract at your home you have 3 days from the date and time the contract is signed to cancel it. The right of rescission does not apply for any contract signed at a place of business.
@@tomm1583 That's why his contract says after 3 days.
Why work for a living when you can just scam old people.
What's the scam? It's a cancel fee in the contract just like when you book a hotel.
@Chat562 he can get the money from the insurance company that's what his contract said he'd do
@@smith4407 She prevented that by breaking the contract so now she owes it.
No ladder, no tools... this scammer is not bonded and insured... he'll never do the work to completion, probably never start any real work, and will sue for fake injury claims and cause your homeowners insurance to balloon exponentially.
I'm so glad the lady not only stood up to him but outed him as a scammer. She retained her sense of humor and I hope she retains her willingness to help a stranger, as she had when she loaned her ladder. I hope the lesson she learns isn't to shy away from helping others as she helped Preston the Snake with her ladder, but to never sign anything unless you truly understand all the implications, are fully comfortable with any rights you sign away, and it protects YOU at least as much as the other party.
Regardless, she's a class act.
Retired roofer first you give written estimate. Than if you bid is entertained, written contract. Other actions unscrupulos.
I don't trust people I don't know. That is what I tell marketers trying to sell me anything. Then I hang up. I always check out your permits to do business with the city as well and I need valid references, I do check them out and I read the fine print before signing anything.
What do you consider valid references? Do you want him giving out YOUR phone number to random potential customers who will be calling you who knows when?
@@Chat562 I am a retired realtor that gets roofing solicitations all the time in emails. I became disabled and no longer live in a house. I rent and so their efforts of trying to sell me something is a click block away.
He’s gaming the, “it’s less expensive settling, than to fight it out in court”. He’s a SOB. Good thing this went public.
I'm more surprised that more people haven't taken to his business page and drove his business rating into the ground. I've only seen 2 negative reviews since this story broke.
Her invoice is just as good as the roofers.
Never give the ins. claim check to the roofer/contractor. And never pay a cent until ALL work is done to your satisfaction. If I had a dollar for the number of stormchasing roofers that knock on my door asking to "inspect my roof for damage"... Yea no.
Typically you are going to pay for materials upfront.
A contractor should always require an upfront payment to cover materials or at least a portion of them. 1/3 is usually the standard. Lots of crooked homeowners as well.
@@DebiM75 Define contractor. I read daily stories about contractors given money and they take off. Give me a materials list and I will pay and have delivered to my home. I will pay for you labor upon completion or at the end of each day, week, etc. Otherwise, large professional companies don't require this.
@@RealHomeRecording Give me a materials list and I will pay and have delivered to my home. I will pay for you labor upon completion or at the end of each day, week, etc. Otherwise, large professional companies don't require this.
@@brocklanders6969 All licensed contractors normally require an upfront payment. I am specifically referring to the construction industry. I cannot speak outside of the construction industry of which I've been a part of for almost 20 years. Yes, some unscrupulous contractors (often unlicensed) will scam, but so do homeowners. Experienced it first hand.
McDonalds forgot the extra pickles on my cheese burger therefore I want $5,000. as a cheeseburger is not worth eating without extra cheeseburger! Oh the humanity!
😂😂👍
Do not sign any kind of document unless you know exactly what it involves. Guy definitely seems shady but she may be stuck with that cancellation fee if it’s in writing.
Roofer will now learn what the phrase “Streisand Effect” is. Now a countless number of people will never dream of doing business with his guy.
Smells like a lien scam.
Damn he's a bold scam artist
Simple rule get as many free quotes as you want, and make sure they are free, but don’t sign anything with anyone other then the contractor you give the job to, and read every page of the contract, to ensure it is exactly what you want.
I had to have my roofs replaced after a hurricane. The insurance company cut me a check. I deposited the check and hired a roofer. I gave him a half down. When he had the main house done he wanted the last half. The detached garage still had to be done. I refused to pay him till the entire job was completed. He got pissed and said he’d be back to finish the garage. Took him 6 weeks to complete it and he didn’t get the last paid till I was happy with it despite him harassing me. Daddy didn’t raise a fool.
There is a 3 day right of rescission on any contract you sign if It is signed at your home.
That's what his agreement pretty much says. The last sentence was something to the effect of there being an $1800 cancellation fee if canceled after the 3rd business day and if the roofer had already met with the adjuster. Not sure if he had met with the adjuster but sounds like he was violating GA law by meeting with the adjuster even if he did.
@@rogersmith7808 This. No one, including the reporters, cares about the facts. All the report said was she hired someone else and didn't want to pay him. It didn't go into why she replaced him, explain whether the adjuster thing made the cancelation fee invalid, or go into other legal reasons the cancelation fee was invalid.
Nahhhh she wrote her own invoice😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m weak
The Roofer is a BUM!!!!
I am a general contractor and I've never heard something like this person saying that he thinks that he gets $1,800 for not doing a job and it takes 5 minutes to go do an estimate job on a roof you do not need all that extra stuff and all the extra stuff he's talking about is a scam I hope she doesn't have to pay him because it's nothing but a scam
She signed a contract after the estimate.
Didnt even have tools
She signed the contract. She owes him the money plain and simple.
Good for her! Lovely home but she needs to get those gutters cleared out!
Always read your contract thoroughly before signing it. I learned this from Judge Marilyn Milian. I have no idea if she can get out of paying him but I know he doesn’t have to pay her the $1800 she wanted to charge him because there was no contract before hand for him, borrowing her Items.
*He's not sure about going through with this default payment because he knows every judge will laugh him out of court...all the while his business will experience an onslaught of negative reviews.*
he looks like a scammer but cant point it out because i would be called a racist.
Calling him a scammer has NOTHING to do with race,
knucklehead 😂

DATS EXTORTION, BULLING OR SCAMMING..
Boom the lady kept it moving with that invoice 😅
As an actual contractor most states require you be licensed and insured.
Before you hire a contractor ask for a proof of their workers comp and liability insurance. And their license number.
A legitimate business will have no problems providing you with that information.
It's a good thing she didn't hire that clown. I'm sure he would have needed a sizable down payment, and we all know how that would've gone. SMH
She literally hired him. They literally showed the contract she signed.

Good for her. 👏
With that illegal contract, he voided his contractor license and his business licence
I don't understand why the homeowner signed a contract/agreement, but it sounds like she's got the upper hand. No work was actually done, and the first line of the agreement breaks state law.
Don't sign anything is moral of the story.
I recently asked for a roof quote and right on the proposal, that they wanted me to sign, said that if I went with someone else there was a $1,000 fee for the quote. When I refused to sign it, they refused to give me a quote. So yeah this is a thing with some roofers.
The problem contractors have is people have gone from calling 1 guy their friend used to 2-3 in the phonebook to 5-10 on Google and even then they're still more flaky than ever. Plus the online ads charge as much for one click as the phonebook listing used to cost. You might look at that like exploring your options but when it means contractors are losing way more work time or having to hire sales staff to get the same jobs, something has to give somewhere.
The storm chasers have been in our northern neighborhood for nearly a year hammering daily on roofs and siding. A dozen companies came around after a hail storm. They offer a free roof check in exchange for a contract that you will let them do the work if your insurance approves. People act like it’s a deal but my State Farm policy has gone up over 20% with no claims. Amazing a days worth a damage to homes and not one broken window…It’s a scam! Don’t sign anything. Call your own insurance adjuster. Don’t use their public adjuster.
If he would had gone to court he would had lost plue this scammer needs to go
so, what kind of arrest record does that roofer have?
He sounds like a scammer.
Contracts that you think are bad deals aren't scams.
An illegal contract is unenforceable. The contract here is contingent upon the roofer getting approval from the insurance. However, the law is clear that the roofer cannot negotiate with the insurance company on the customer's behalf. Because the contract is contingent on an act which is illegal, the contract is illegal on its face. Therefore, it is unenforceable, and neither party can receive damages for breach. Contracts 101.
He better go sit down somewhere
She signed a document thinking it meant it would go into effect later if she agreed to ‘go with them’?
This guy is a certified GRIFTER!
Roofer needs to be cautious and not fall from a roof.
