Roofer Companies Ratings Site Introduced in Time for Severe Weather

Online, May 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Spring brings with it nasty thunderstorms that can cause problems for many houses in the USA. Thousands of home-owners will no doubt face substantial destruction to their residences from these strong thunder storms.

The rooftop is a part of the home that is often disturbed by these types of storms. It is not unusual for one intense weather to do enough damage to a property that a full roof replacement is essential.

Being forced to replace a roof is quite expensive so it is important for shoppers to locate a honest company to perform the job. The Roofing Contractors Review Center was recently launched to give consumers a one-stop place on the Internet to search for and read reviews of local roofing companies in their area.

J.W. Keith, site manager, said the website was developed to provider consumers with a one-stop resource to visit to find and rate local roofing companies.

"Undoubtedly, thousands of homeowners will becomes victims of fraudsters again this year as criminals hit their towns after severe storms and defraud them," said Keith. "It is vital that consumers do their homework by thoroughly researching a company before hiring them."

Keith said a few things consumers should do when searching for a company to handle their roofing job include asking friends and family members for referrals to good companies, checking with the Better Business Bureau for a company with good ratings and talking to their insurance agents to see if they can get a recommendation for a company that has completed satisfactory work for other clients.

"If I were a home owner with a damaged roof, the first thing I would personally do is call Angie's List at toll-free 1-877-275-9417 and ask for a list of the top-rated roofers in my area," said Keith. "The great thing about Angie's List is that the ratings are provided by other home owners in your community and the reviews are in-depth."

Keith said the Roofing Contractor Reviews Center currently offers profiles of roofers in roughly half the states, but plans to have profiles online nationwide by mid-summer.

"Our team is working diligently to build a massive free resource for consumers to use to find, rate and compare local roofing companies," said Keith. "We are adding dozens of new profiles each day and will have thousands of profiles online within six weeks."
