Seven Tips for Choosing a Roofer in Clarksville

Let us go through them one by one.

Tip 1: Verify local presence. A legitimate Clarksville roofer has a local phone number, a local

address, and local references. Storm chasers have 1-800 numbers and hotel rooms. Ask for

their shop address. If they hesitate, move on.

Tip 2: Check licensing and insurance. Tennessee does not have a statewide roofing license,

but Montgomery County requires contractor registration. Ask for their registration number. Also

ask for a certi cate of insurance (liability and workers comp). Call the insurance company to

verify.

Tip 3: Read reviews across multiple platforms. Google. Facebook. Better Business Bureau.

Angi. Look for patterns. A few bad reviews are normal. Many bad reviews about the same issue

(no callbacks, shoddy work) are a red ag.

Tip 4: Get three written estimates. Do not accept verbal estimates. Do not accept estimates

on a napkin. Get line-item estimates that break down materials, labor, tear-o , disposal, and

permits. Compare apples to apples.

Tip 5: Ask about warranties. What manufacturer warranty do they offer? What workmanship

warranty do they offer? Get it in writing. A roofer who offers no workmanship warranty is not

con dent in their work.

Tip 7: Trust your gut. If the roofer pressures you to sign today. If they ask for a large deposit

upfront. If they cannot answer your questions. If they seem evasive. Walk away. There are

plenty of good roofers in Clarksville.

Fort Campbell families, add an eighth tip: ask about base access and experience with military

housing. We have both.

The Red Flags Checklist (Step by Step)

Here is what to watch for.

1. Door knocking after a storm. Legitimate roofers do not need to door-knock. They have

more work than they can handle.

1. Out-of-state license plates. Not always a scam, but ask for a local address.
2. "Free inspection" that is really a sales pitch. If the inspector pulls out a contract within

ve minutes, send them away.

1. Contingency agreements. Do not sign anything that gives a roofer the right to negotiate

with your insurance company.

1. Large deposit requests. More than 30 percent upfront is a red ag.
2. No local references. Any roofer who has been in Clarksville for more than a year has

dozens of references. Ask for three.

1. Vague estimates. "About $10,000" is not an estimate. You need line items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tip 6: Check their experience with insurance claims. If you are ling a claim, you need a

roofer who knows the process. Ask how many claims they have handled. Ask if they meet

adjusters on site. We have handled thousands.

A: 30 percent is standard for a full roof replacement. 50 percent for a repair. Never pay 100

percent upfront. You lose all leverage.
