Quick answer
What is a storm chaser roofer and how do I avoid them?
Storm chasers are out-of-state crews who follow hail events, knock doors offering 'free' roofs, sign homeowners into insurance-scam AOB contracts, then vanish before warranty claims. Warning signs: unfamiliar plate, no NM license, high-pressure sign-today tactics.

The full detail
Verify NM GB-2 license at nmrld.state.nm.us. Ask for 3 local references from the last 30 days you can drive to. Never sign an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) on the first visit. Roof Doctor NM is NM-owned and matches you to vetted local contractors.
