We had a decent hail storm here in Ames, IA a couple weeks ago. The SW side of town took it hard, but not much up North, where I live. I gave the house a good once over after the storm, and found it to be no different than before the storm.
I’m a handy guy and do the majority of our house work.
Now come the door knockers. These people are relentless, asking to be on my roof to show me the hidden damage I can’t see. It won’t be any bother to us, they say, as they will work with our insurance on it.
It’s sad to see the signs in yards from these companies a block North and a block South of us. My block must be more savy at house repairs than the other blocks?
It’s funny that none of these companies are from in town. I already have a roof guy, who put a roof on my last house, and fixed slight damage to this roof after our Derecho in 2020. He hasn’t called me. He would if he thought I might have damage.
I really wonder if a lack of common sense and general repair knowledge is causing these people to convince owners to make unnecessary repairs.
