How do i find out if a roofing company has had many complaints against them?
workin man asked:
One roofing company told me not go go with another because they have been on the “hall of shame” on our local news company, and have had many lawsuits against them. I have heard the complete opposite and tend not to beleive it. Without going to all 4 news sites and searching around forever, is there a site that has them all?

You are right to be suspicious, however, I find it unprofessional that the tip comes from another contractor. Your best bet would be to go to the courthouse and do a search for the name of the business you are questioning, and then also do a search by the name of the guy who owns the business.
I renovate houses for a living, and I learned some hard knocks along the way. When I first started, I hired a contractor who gave me names of people who gave him glowing recommendations. After I hired him, he took off and didn’t complete the job once he had rec’d his final draw.
If I had researched the courthouse records and criminal records, I would have never hired this man regardless of his references. Now, I don’t hire anyone without doing these checks first.
Now that’s a $54,000.00 bit of education for you. Hope it helps.
