Well there's never any shortage of people who want to scam you
out of your money is there? Today I'm going to warn you about
Leon the roofer.
Hi everybody, this is Tracy Bookman owner of Homestead Roofing and today I'm going
to tell you about Leon the roofer, and I use the word
"roofer" very loosely, because I doubt that he's a roofer,
very seriously doubt that he's got a license as a roofing contractor here
in our market. But I had an interesting phone call yesterday,
got a message, a voicemail message, left for me from
one of our customers, and the message said
that somebody had come to her house, and this fella said that he was my son
and that she needed some work done on her roof and so he was there to fix
it. So she related the story to me and said
that this fella had knocked on her door, he was driving an old beat up white
pickup truck, and he said that
he was from the roofing company that had done her roof
and that they were driving out to their customers,
to our customers homes, and looking to see if there was damage and he was going
to get up and and fix the damage. So he told her that
she had some shingles that were lifted up, up by her chimney
and he was there to fix it for her. Well, so that thankfully raised some
suspicions from our customer and so she said,
well I'm just going to call Tracy, because I was the project manager for
her, her, her re-roof project and he said oh
well, I'm Tracy's son.
So, then again he related to her the fact that he was from
our roofing company and they were just driving through the neighborhoods
going to our customers homes so that they could
save the day and fix whatever is wrong with their roof, so
thankfully this homeowner was astute enough
to not let this guy get on her roof. And I,
implored her to go on next door and warn all of her neighbors that this guy
is driving through their neighborhood and trying to take advantage of people.
And this, this really highlights one thing that actually the Colorado
state attorney general has said and the department of regulatory agency
,has said that don't ever let anybody in
or on your house who just comes knocking on your door. So,
when those guys come knocking on your door after a storm,
I have another little saying that goes, not every roofer that knocks on your
door is going to rip you off, but every roofer that's going to rip you off is
going to come knocking on your door. So, be really, really careful, this is a
big scam, Homestead Roofing is not driving around
neighborhoods knocking on people's doors, who, whose roofs we have done
or whose roofs we haven't done and saying oh you you have damaged let
us get up there and fix it. Homestead Roofing is not going to do that
if somebody comes to your door and says that they're from Homestead Roofing and
they show up unannounced, you can be fairly certain that they're
not from Homestead Roofing. So, one of the funny things was, was just
joking around I asked her, I asked our customer, well, did he look
like me, right? And she said, well, he was
tall and he had dark hair and he was missing all of his teeth so
hopefully, he doesn't look like me. So, just remember
