We have received reports of scammers posing as roofing companies from out of town who say they will inspect roofs for storm damage free of charge. As always, DO NOT give out any personal information to anyone you do not know or who contacts you randomly. If you have questions, we are happy to assist you to determine if it is a scam or not.
