Before hiring a contractor it is a good idea to check their license status at the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. You can search by Company Name, License Number, Status/or Classification their web address is: http://www.azroc.gov/ContractorInfoMenu.html

The Better Business Bureau is another resource focusing on business ethics and has an eight point BBB Standard of Trust. You can check on a business by following this link: http://central-northern-western-arizona.bbb.org/

Verifying current General Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance provide necessary protection for homeowners.

A few simple steps can go a long way in insuring that the company you hire has the license to do the work you hired them to do, the business ethics you need and the Insurance to protect your home.

The Phoenix Area was hit hard this week ushering in record rain fall. High winds, heavy rain, flooding and even a tornado watch was seen in the Valley of the Sun, starting this year off with a bang. How do you relieve your roofing woes? Don't wait to contact a licensed roofing contractor.
In order to help a larger number of Valley residences Dry Plus Roofing is offering temporary patches. To help not only your roof but your wallet we are going one step further, refunding 50% of the temp patch cost towards your roofing project!

As storm fronts continue to move into the valley make sure your roof is able to withstand the wet weather. Those small leaks can grow into a large problem if you do not have them fixed properly.

A leaking roof can cause much more damage than you may think.

Moisture from a roof leak can lead to rotting wood and cause interior damage to drywall.

Water can pool on top of your drywall causing it to sag and even to fall down.
Our advice, if you have a leak make sure the water can come through the drywall. Use a small sturdy object such as a Phillips head screwdriver and create an escape for the water by putting a small hole(s) through the drywall. This will alleviate the pressure and help to prevent the drywall from falling. It is a lot easier to fix a small hole in your drywall then to replace a fallen section of drywall.

Make sure you address the problem! Putting off getting your roof fixed can lead to additional damage and may cost more money to fix the longer you wait.

Each year the Better Business Bureau takes calls from residents who received damage to their homes. A common factor in these calls is that the resident trusted an unknown “contractor” who knocked on their door offering help with their repair needs. Unfortunately, the stories usually end up with the resident being scammed out of their hard-earned money and left with the repair job incomplete.

Consumers with home repair needs should keep in mind the following:
~Most licensed contractors don’t wander neighborhoods knocking on doors to look for work.
~If the person at your door claims they did work for someone else in your neighborhood, don’t just take their word for it, ask your neighbor.
~Obtain the name and address of the company that person allegedly represents to check the company licensing.
~Don’t succumb to high-pressure sale tactics in person or over the phone.
~Do not pay cash in full before work begins.
~Obtain quotes from multiple companies before making a final decision.

We encourage Arizona residents to first check out a company with Better Business Bureau and the Arizona Registrar of Contractors before hiring someone to do work on their home.
