MN Hail Damage, Door to Door Salesperson

MN Hail Damage


In the recent months, damaging thunderstorms have rocked many MN homes. On one particular Saturday early evening, a damaging storm unleashed it's golf ball sized hail for a time period of 20 minutes; It felt like an hour. We were a victim of MN hail damage. The next day we noticed new faces in the neighborhood pounding on the door.

Things to ask from the door to door salesperson.

1. Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?

2. Do you have a Business Card?

3. Do you have a flyer, brochure, or deliverable?

4. Can you direct me to one of my neighbors that would recommend your work?

5. May I visit your office?

6. How long will it take to replace my roof?

7. How do you determine the cost of a new roof?

8. Are you competitive on performance and costs with other companies?

9. Does my home owner's insurance cover the costs for a new roof?

10. Do I make the payouts or does my insurance pay you directly?


Some of these questions may not be practical for you. I didn't visit the company's office, and I didn't seek out a recommendation from my neighbors. By asking these questions, I developed an idea of the company, the door to door salesperson, and the process. A good salesperson should be able to answer your questions confidently and handle the conversation with respect. If the salesperson is can only answer three of the 10 questions, then I would suggest you ask him to return when he can meet your request or tell him/her 'sorry for not doing business with you'.

I went another route in determining a professional contractor that is right for me. I used the internet to research various MN Contractors in my area. My research led me to

Its so tragic that after a natural disaster, that slimeballs  crawl out of the woodwork trying to make a fast buck.

Great Post!  Victims of a bad storm/situation, then victims of con-artists, opportunists and greedy people. My son is in construction in Virginia close to where the tornado hit and saw a lot of homeowners get messed up with roofers that just started working on their roof! Due to crazy laws, the homeowner was on the hook to pay for the repair, but the repair was not great, and way overpriced.  With every disaster, you have opportunists who think they can make a quick buck.

Not everyone out after a storm is a slime ball.  A good contractor provides a good service to the victims of hail damage.  Competition is fierce in the construction industry.  A company that is licensed and insured is trying to earn new business by providing a good service.  It's not hard to check on a company's reputation.  You are lucky to have a good contractor that knows where the storm hit.  The faster the ball gets rolling, the faster damage is repaired--preventing even more damage.  Windows take weeks to order.  Get the insurance adjuster out there as fast as you can and be glad you have a good contractor getting the most from your insurance adjuster--you've been paying that premium for years just in case something like this happened.  Any questions call 651-307-7180.
