Watch: How to Spot Red Flags and Protect Your Roof

Not All Door Knockers Are Looking Out for You

After a storm hits, it’s common to see roofing companies canvassing neighborhoods, knocking on doors, and pushing insurance claims. While not all of them are bad actors, many are playing a numbers game—and it can cost you.

The Problem with Door-to-Door Roof Claims

A door knocker shows up and says, “You’ve got hail damage.”
You file an insurance claim—without a proper inspection.
Insurance comes out and finds no legitimate storm damage.
Now you’re stuck. Higher premiums. Maybe even policy cancellation.

In this video, our expert breaks it down:

Why quick assumptions lead to insurance trouble
What should be inspected before filing a claim
How to tell if a roofing company is trustworthy

Here’s How to Stay Protected

Only file a claim after a professional, on-roof inspection
Never take a door knocker’s word without proof
Vet your roofer through reviews, reputation, and credentials
Don’t risk being dropped by insurance or stuck with full costs

At Mr. GoodRoof, we earn your trust with free, honest, on-roof inspections—no pressure, no shortcuts.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had previously spoken with several roofing contractors but Will Schrader was the only one to give me video of what my roof looked like up close.  He pointed out a couple of places where the builder cut corners and he had ideas on how to fix that.  Will and his people put us in good shape.  I would willingly work with him in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. William came over for a free inspection & estimate for any work needed. He took his time checking inside the attic & the entire roof exterior.  I felt very informed of any issues I had and they had no pressure to accept any work, even to the point of recommending me not to fix some things that were still working.  Highly recommend them if you need to get any roof maintenance or work done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered our chimney was leaking and reached out to numerous companies to assess our situation. Dan from Mr. Good Roof, was one of the people who came to our property, assessed the situation and offered solutions. He was punctual and communicative. He explained, in detail, what he felt were issues that needed to be addressed short term and long-term. Although initially, my wife and I decided to go with an alternative company do to Price differences, we ultimately came back to Mr. Good Roof Based on all of the reasons listed above.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin did a great job.  He gave a video report of the roof and gutters.  I will definitely call Mr Goodroof next yer and recommend him to do the cleaning and install new gutters.
