Unsolicited roofing calls

I don’t know how these people got my number but I’m getting 3 calls a day from people that tell me they are with either an insurance company or roofing company. So annoying.

The entire industry is made of of scammers.

I’ve just been reporting them through the call protect app. Don’t know what else to do.

I just tell them all to come out and look at my roof. I might get 2 - 3 there at the same time and get a good competitive bidding war going (although I have standing seam metal and I assume no one ever finds any issues - in fact I think they look from the street and drive on).

My insurance agent is a long time friend. He has a roofer he works with. I’ve used that roofer 2 times, once on the old house and our current house. He does good work, has done tons of work with my insurance company/agent and is trustworthy.

I just had a new roof put on and didn’t even get any hail though

But don't you want a free estimate? How old is your home? Do you still have to paint the eaves and overhangs? Have you ever considered vinyl siding. I'd like to have a representative stop by and take some measurements, maybe show you some pictures of homes we've done in your area and give you a free estimate and right now we are running a 20% factory discount .... there's no obligation to buy. When will you and your wife be home tomorrow?

Stop calling me Huckleberry

So 6:30 is a good time?

I received them for my Ex wife for her new house. I set her up and appointment with everyone who calls me. She does not talk to me for some reason.

Spring before last when we had egg sized hail the roofers came out of the wood work. I work from home and had to put a large sign on the door that said "No Soliciting. ESPECIALLY Roofers!!" otherwise I couldn't get any meetings done.

Some still had the gall to bang on the door. One told me he had an exclusive contract with the manufacturer of my metal roof, and that no other roofer in Texas could legally repair it. That guy was such a jerk he almost got punched in the neck.

Billy Ellis?

i always have them come out

We got the hail a couple nights ago. Next day we had a half dozen roofers come by. Yesterday the phone was ringing off the hook - almost all of them from what I would consider blue collar towns (according to caller id). Just didn't answer.

Cell phone?

Yes

I've had many of my old customers tell me that so and so roofer expert said the metal roof on their home is no longer made or just what you said...they are the authorized repair company certified by the manufacturer. All lies of course. Like mentioned above when the storm chasers see a metal roof most drive on by but slick salesman will try to get a foot in the door....metal roofs pay ALOT more money than shingles. Then when the owner buys their line of lies he will go find a sub contractor to do the work.

I’m gonna be making some conditional threats if this keeps up. This is happening on my cell which is on the do not call list.

Several years ago after a storm came through I found a piece of a shingle in my driveway that had a rubber band around it with a roofer's business card. I thought it was just trash that had ended up there somehow and threw it away.

A few days later I found another, and a few days later another. This jackhole was driving through neighborhoods throwing his scraps on peoples' property as a way to advertise.

I called him and told him to cut it out and his answer was that he had to make a living. I told him he could knock on my door any time of the day or night and I'd be glad to discuss it with him in person.

Next time a roofer calls, I'm going to say I have a neighbor who thinks everyone is spying on his wife. The last time someone got on my roof, he threatened to whip their azz.

Are any of them collect calls from prison?

The whole process of getting a new roof is one of the most loathsome tasks I have ever experienced. I'd rather pull out a tooth with vise grips than to have to go through it again. I got a 30 year roof and pray I die before I have to go through it. I could write a novel on my experience. God be with you on your quest.

why are you answering numbers you don't recognize

When answering the phone or door, I always tell whomever that my brother-in-law is a roofer, or a pest control guy, or owns a lawn service, or is a painter. I do it so often, my wife has started doing it too.

I need to do that.

This

you have to hire the right people
it is still a process though

i always just answer the phone
never understood screening calls

I always answer calls, Phone is a company phone and I have a lot of people calling me that have got my number from one-call tickets.

yep
you never know what good fortune awaits you on each call

Worse than buying a new fridge?

What else does he do?
could you have your brother in law call me, my home inspector said I need all this stuff and more

Tons worse. Would you believe we still don't have a new fridge? Why is it that no matter what I need to replace, they don't make it anymore, they changed the size, or changed the functions. Craziness.

Tell them you will give them a bad review on google! That will be the last call you get from them

That's a business phone so answer every call. My personal phone I don't answer if your not in my address book and block you if you call and don't leave a message.

My phone, my rules. If I don't know you then most likely we won't need to be wasting each other's time.

I still have previous customers that call me for advice even though I’m out of the business now. That’s why I answer phone calls. My call protect app seems to do a good enough job identifying the rest.

Well played sir

If it's not a robo call and a person take the number and call them at 3:00 am to tell them your roof is fine.
