24 red flags to watch for before you hire a roofer.

This is the list I wish every NM homeowner had taped to the fridge. Print it, keep it in your truck, or text it to a neighbor. If you see any of these, stop and call me first — that's what I'm here for.

Door-knockers & storm chasers

At the door

If you see this → Walk away.
Estimate & pricing

On the bid

If you see this → Ask for revision in writing, or move on.
Before you sign

In the contract

If you see this → Do not sign. Have it reviewed.
Day-of workmanship

On the jobsite

If you see this → Stop the job. Document. Call me.
What to do instead

Three moves that stop 90% of NM roofing rip-offs

Step 01
Never sign at the door.

Take the card. Say you'll follow up. Any contractor who can't wait 48 hours is not the one.

Step 02
Get the bid in line items.

If it isn't line-by-line, it can't be compared or supplemented. Request the itemized version in writing.

Step 03
Have someone independent review it.

That's me. $199 bid review, or free if I inspected the roof. I don't sell roofs — no upsell.

Next step

Got a bid or a knock at the door? Text me a photo before you sign.

Book the free on-site inspection, or send a photo and we'll tell you what to do next. No sales pitch — we don't install roofs.
