Your Solution for Storm-Damaged Roofs and Insurance Claims.

Georgia Residents and Businesses – Beware!

Every state that borders Georgia requires roofing contractors to obtain a roofing contractor’s license. Georgia requires only a business license, so virtually anyone can “install” a residential roof in the state. The predictable result has been the rise of companies known in the industry as “storm chasers.” When severe weather strikes, these companies appear out of nowhere, lacking credentials and expertise but promising fast service at a time when more reputable contractors – and local building officials — are swamped with work. The result probably looks good and is unlikely to start leaking immediately. Very few homeowners will climb up to inspect their new roof, and even fewer are equipped to evaluate the work. The contractor collects an insurance check and moves on. If problems appear after a full-year cycle of seasonal weather changes, the company may be difficult to contact. It may be following the latest storm in another state. Its owners may have gone out of business and reorganized under a new name or left the industry entirely. Like many other companies, Roof Technology Partners is licensed by the state of Georgia to install roofs. That’s where the similarities end. We went beyond the state’s minimal requirements to obtain a license to design the roofing systems we install, including gutters and ventilation. We install roofs anywhere in the United States, but we’re proud to be headquartered in Georgia, and we’re not going anywhere. With a certified Professional Engineer and a Registered Roofing Consultant on our staff, Roof Technology Partners represents the highest levels of professionalism and expertise in the industry.
