Common Residential & Commercial Roofing Scams in Milford

Be aware of these tactic used by unlicensed operators

🚫

Storm Chaser

Fly-by-night crews swarm after weather events, claim urgent full roof replacement, pocket deposit, then ghost or botch the job.

🚫

Bait-and-Switch Materials

Quote cheap shingles, start work, then say unavailable and push premium (expensive) options—or use subpar hidden underlays.

Spot 'urgent' leaks or damage, charge thousands for 'fixes' that are cosmetic or nonexistent, then vanish when real issues arise.

Fake Warranties

Promise lifetime guarantees but use no-name products with no real backing, leaving you holding the bag on failures.

How to Verify a Professional

1

Insurance

Demand a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for liability ($1M+) and workers' comp. Call the insurer listed to confirm coverage dates and limits match the job.

Protection FAQs

Is it normal for roofers to ask for half the cost upfront?

No—legit pros take 10-30% max deposit. Full or large upfront is a huge red flag. Pay balance on completion or verified milestones.

What if a roofer shows up unannounced after a storm?

They're likely chasers. Thank them and say you're getting local bids. Never let them on roof without verification.

How do I confirm a Utah roofer's license?

Search DOPL.utah.gov by name/number. Check expiration, disciplinary actions. Ask for license on-site.

Should I go with the cheapest roofing quote in Milford?

No—compare licensed, insured pros' full proposals. Low bids often cut corners on materials/labor.

What paperwork should a trustworthy roofer provide?

Signed contract, COI, license copy, material specs, warranty docs. Review before any payment.

Who do I call if I've been scammed on a roof job?

Report to Utah DOPL, local sheriff (Beaver County), and AG consumer protection. Document everything for recourse.
