But after every big storm, something else often rolls into town, storm chasers, and we’re not talking about the ones on TV. These out-of-town roofing crews show up fast, make big promises, and then disappear just as quickly. If you’re not careful, trusting them could lead to major headaches down the road.
Let’s talk about the climate in Hickory and why local expertise matters. Hickory sees its fair share of severe weather. From heavy rainstorms in the spring to powerful winds in the fall, the weather can do real damage to homes in a flash. That’s why you need a roofer who understands local codes, materials that work in this climate, and the unique demands of North Carolina weather, not a pop-up crew chasing the next disaster.
Here Are 4 Reasons Storm Chasers Just Aren’t Worth the Risk:
1. They Don’t Know Hickory Homes: Storm chasers usually come from out of state. They’re not familiar with our local roofing codes, regional building styles, or how our roofs need to hold up against the specific conditions here in western North Carolina. That lack of knowledge can mean mismatched materials, improper ventilation, and overlooked damage that a trained local team would catch.
2. They’re Long Gone When You Have Questions: Reputable roofers build relationships. They answer questions, help you understand your warranty, and are available if anything goes wrong later. Storm chasers, on the other hand? They do the job fast, cash the check, and disappear. If something isn’t right with your new roof, good luck tracking them down.
3. They Cut Corners to Maximize Profits: Because storm chasers are in town for a limited time, their goal is to move quickly and make as much money as possible. That often means using cheaper materials, skipping crucial roof inspections, or rushing through the installation. You’re left with a roof that might look fine, but won’t last.
4. They’re Not Invested in Your Community: Best Choice Roofing is part of the Hickory community. We live here, work here, and genuinely care about our neighbors. Storm chasers don’t have that same connection. They’re not interested in giving back or earning your trust for the long haul; they’re just here for the quick job and fast paycheck.
