The Difference Between Local and Storm Chaser
Let us define terms. A local roofer has a physical shop in the area. They have been in business for years. They have local references. They pay local taxes. They are part of the community.
They answer their own phone. They show up when they say they will.
A storm chaser follows hailstorms. They operate out of hotels or temporary offices. They have 1-800 numbers that route to call centers. They have out-of-state license plates (Texas, Florida, Oklahoma). They disappear when the work dries up. You cannot nd them when the roof leaks six months later.
Why does this matter? Accountability. If a local roofer does a bad job, you can sue them. You can leave a bad review. You can tell your neighbors. They have everything to lose. Their reputation is their business.
A storm chaser has nothing to lose. They will be gone in six months. They do not care about your review. They do not care about your leak. They have already spent your insurance money.
Their phone number is disconnected. You are stuck.
We have seen this play out dozens of times. A family o Tiny Town Road hires a storm chaser.
The chaser does a shoddy roof replacement. Six months later, the roof leaks. The family calls the number on the contract. Disconnected. They call us. We have to tear o the entire roof and start over. They paid twice. Do not let that be you.
Also, local roofers know the building codes. Storm chasers guess. Local roofers have relationships with suppliers. Storm chasers buy the cheapest materials they can nd. Local roofers pull permits. Storm chasers skip them. Local roofers have local references. Storm chasers have none.
Fort Campbell families, you need a local roofer who understands base access, military schedules, and power of attorney. That is us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if a roofer is local or a storm chaser?
Look at their license plate. Out-of-state? Ask for a local address. Is it a physical shop or a UPS Store? Ask for local references. Call them. If they hesitate, they are not local.
Do local roofers charge more than storm chasers?
Sometimes. Storm chasers lowball bids to get the job. Then they use cheap materials (3-tab shingles instead of architectural, no ice shield, no ridge vents). The lowest bid is rarely the best value. Local roofers charge a fair price for quality work.
What happens if a storm chaser does my roof and then leaves town?
You have no warranty. You have no one to call if it leaks. You may have to pay another roofer to x their mistakes. We have seen this happen. The homeowner paid varies depending on materials and labor for a roof that should have cost depends on your specific roof. Then they paid us varies based on scope and materials to fix it. Total varies by project size and complexity. Do not risk it.
Can a national franchise be considered local?
Some franchises are locally owned and operated. Ask if the owner lives in Clarksville. But even then, the materials and warranty are controlled by corporate. We are locally owned, not a franchise. Our decisions are made here.
Does a local roofer need to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce?
No, but many are. We are members of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce. It is not required, but it shows community involvement.
How do I verify how long a roofer has been in business?
Check their business license with the county. Check their Google Maps listing history (you can see when they first appeared). Ask for references from jobs done 5 or 10 years ago. We can provide them.
