Storm Chasers are NOT Locally Trusted Contractors!
If you’ve driven around Northeast Ohio after a major storm, you’ve probably noticed an unusual number of out-of-state trucks rolling through neighborhoods—each with a roofing logo plastered on the side. Some have temporary tags, others display plates from faraway states.
Those license plates might not seem like a big deal—but they’re your first red flag. They often belong to storm chasers: out-of-town contractors who flood into areas hit by hail or wind damage, make quick sales, and then disappear long before warranty issues arise.
Your roof isn’t just another project—it’s your home’s first line of defense. And when it comes to protecting it, working with a local, trusted roofing company isn’t just smart; it’s essential.
The Storm Chaser Problem: Fast Jobs, Faster Exits
Storm chasers prey on homeowners after bad weather. They promise fast inspections, “too-good-to-be-true” pricing, and immediate repairs. But once the check clears, many vanish—leaving behind poor workmanship, unverified warranties, or roofs that fail at the first snow.
Because they’re not based here, they don’t have to answer for callbacks, leaks, or damage. When they’re gone, so is your protection.
How to Spot an Out-of-State Contractor
You can spot a storm chaser before they ever knock on your door—if you know what to look for:
✅ Out-of-state license plates or temporary tags
✅ No local address or permanent office
✅ Poor or no online reviews from your area
✅ High-pressure sales tactics (“sign today for a discount”)
✅ Generic websites without real photos of Cleveland homes or teams
If you’re not sure, do a quick Google search for their company name and “reviews.” If you can’t find legitimate results near Northeast Ohio, that’s your sign to walk away.
Why Local Roofing Companies Matter
Local roofers live and work where you do. They know the area’s weather, city codes, and the materials that hold up best to Lake Erie’s storms. Most importantly, they have a local reputation to protect—because their next customer might be your neighbor.
When you choose DunRite Exteriors, you’re hiring a Cleveland-based company that’s been serving homeowners across Northeast Ohio for decades. We’re known for honest communication, top-quality workmanship, and hundreds of 5-star Google reviews that back it up.
