The Truth About Roofers Who Show Up After a Storm
When hail or high winds hit the Upstate, it’s not long before roofing trucks start rolling through the neighborhood. Doorbells ring, flyers appear, and suddenly everyone seems to be a roofing expert offering inspections, repairs, and “lifetime warranties.”
For homeowners, it can feel confusing - even stressful. You just want to make the right decision for your home, but how do you know who to trust?
At Beemer KangaRoof, we think it’s important to be transparent about what really happens after a storm, and why you might see so many new faces in your neighborhood.
Why So Many Roofers Knock After a Storm
Storms bring opportunity - and not just for repairs. When hail hits an area, roofing companies from all over the region (and sometimes the country) rush in to secure new jobs. Some are legitimate and do good work, but others are short-term operations that set up quickly, collect deposits, and disappear once the demand fades.
That’s why, right after a storm, your neighborhood may be full of companies you’ve never heard of.
How Beemer KangaRoof Does It Differently
We don’t chase storms - and we rarely knock on doors. The only time you might see us stop by uninvited is if one of our team members happens to be in your neighborhood and can visibly see signs of roof damage. Otherwise, we wait for homeowners to reach out to us.
We believe trust is earned, not pushed. We’ve built our reputation in Greenville through long-term relationships, not door-to-door sales.
When you call Beemer KangaRoof, you’re working with a team that:
Lives and works right here in the Upstate
Has a proven track record with local homeowners and businesses
Will be here years from now to stand behind our work
The Truth About “Lifetime Warranties”
A lot of companies that appear after a storm will promise lifetime workmanship warranties. It sounds great until you need to use it.
If that company packs up and leaves town after the season, your warranty may not mean much. A strong warranty only matters if the company that issued it is still around to honor it.
Beemer KangaRoof has been serving Greenville homeowners since 1979, and we’re not going anywhere. When we say we’ll stand behind our work, we mean it - today, next year, and well beyond.
How to Protect Yourself After a Storm
If you suspect your home was hit by hail or wind damage, take these steps before hiring anyone:
Verify that the company is local. Check their business address, reviews, and how long they’ve been operating.
Ask for proof. A good roofer should provide photos and clear documentation of any damage.
Don’t rush. Avoid signing contracts or giving deposits on the spot.
Get multiple opinions. Two or three inspections will give you a better picture of your roof’s condition.
A Roof Inspection You Can Trust
At Beemer KangaRoof, our goal is simple: give you the truth about your roof. If there’s damage, we’ll document it and walk you through the insurance process step by step. If there’s not, we’ll tell you that too - no pressure, no upselling, just honesty.
Because when it comes to protecting your home, you deserve more than promises. You deserve people who will be there when it matters most.
