Beware of Storm Chasers: Why Choosing a Local Roofing Contractor Matters

When a major storm hits, your roof isn’t the only thing that takes a hit—so does your inbox, your front door, and your peace of mind. Suddenly, roofing contractors you’ve never heard of are everywhere, offering quick fixes and “urgent” help. But be warned: many of these are out-of-town storm chasers looking to profit off your storm damage—not protect your home.

At Conner Roofing, we’ve seen this time and time again. One homeowner told us they were quoted $65,000 for a roof replacement that insurance only covered at $25,000. That’s not just a markup—it’s a scam. These companies’ prey on homeowners dealing with storm damage and often charge outrageous rates for rushed, low-quality work.

Some even go as far as planting signs in yards before being hired, trying to appear trusted and local when they’re anything but. That’s deceptive, and you deserve better.

What Are Storm Chasers and Why Should You Avoid Them?

Storm chasers are out-of-town roofing companies that move from one storm-hit area to the next. They offer high-pressure sales tactics, inflated estimates, and cut corners with cheap materials. Once the job is done—or worse, once they’ve cashed your check—they’re gone.

The risks of hiring a storm chaser include:

  • Overpriced roofing estimates that far exceed what insurance will cover
  • Poor quality roof installation with no local accountability
  • No long-term warranty or follow-up
  • Zero investment in your community

These companies aren’t here to build trust. They’re here to make a quick buck and move on to the next town.
