FAQ
You can always negotiate with your contractor on the price of a successful project before signing a contract. Discuss your budget with your roofing contractor. Agree that any unexpected project expenses will be presented in writing to help you remain within your budget.
For sales made in homes, such as when a roofing contractor knocks on your door, inspects your roof, and you sign the contract, the homeowner has three days in which to cancel the contract with no reason. The representative must tell you about your right to cancel at the time of the sale with a full refund.
You have an absolute right to cancel within the three day period. After that, you can still cancel, but the contractor may be able to claim breach of contract and try to enforce the contract.
The consumer should call the roofing company and ask to speak to the owner or manager and nicely tell them they have changed their minds and would like to cancel the deal without paying a cancellation fee. If the company agrees, put it in writing and the homeowner is out of the deal.
The maximum allowed is $10,000. Also, contractors that have provided materials and labor to property may have lien rights against the real property.
To work as a roofing contractor in North Carolina, you'll require a state license for any jobs worth $30,000 or more. The license is issued by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors and you'll need pre-approval before you can take the exam.
In short, it is a legally binding contract in which you agree to work with a roofing company to do all of your insurance-approved work. Per the name, it's contingent on the insurance claim being approved for the contract to hold together.
