BoneDaddy.P7A roofing scam in Brownsville, Texas was uncovered after a local company was accused by homeowners of misrepresenting their services. Holden Roofing Inc duped homeowners into signing repair contracts by representing the company as a roof consulting service which could help negotiate roof damage insurance claims.
The company targeted certain neighborhoods which had recently experienced damage due to severe storms, and sales representatives targeted senior citizens in particular saying they could facilitate roof replacement or repair. They portrayed it as a free consulting service, but instead homeowners were signing contracts for repair work to be performed by the company, and if the homeowners failed to follow through they were subject to large penalties under the contract. The fees were up to 20% of the cost of roof replacement if homeowners ended up choosing another contractor to do the repair work.

country_boy_shaneInvestments in your home's roofing will protect you and your investment. To make your home last and appreciate in value, taking care of the roofing is very important. Homeowners should be on the lookout for signs of roof decay, which is usually quite visible. Some signs include large cracks in the shingles and algae or moss buildup.
This buildup will begin to break shingles apart from underneath if not treated. Estimates for roof repairs can vary quite a bit, so it's wise to do a lot of research before you choose a contractor. Get several estimates to compare because rates can vary but thousands of dollars. You should go for a shingle that's guaranteed to last 30 years. There are some which can go up to 50, but these can be a lot more pricey.
