Superior Roofing Donates Roof to Georgia Homeowner
A Georgia woman was left without a roof when an unscrupulous roofer took her insurance money and left town.

October 19, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A Georgia woman was left without a roof when an unscrupulous roofer took her insurance money and left town. Superior Roofing replaced the woman's roof free of charge.

In September, Joyce Skipwith, a Gwinnett County resident, was left without a roof or her money when an unscrupulous roofer left town suddenly. After seeing a news story on television, Superior Roofing offered to replace the woman's worn out roof free of charge. Superior Roofing's owners just felt it was the right thing to do.

There are many good roofing contractors in Atlanta and it's a shame that this nice lady had such a bad experience. It gives all of us a black eye," said Ron Herring, Superior Roofing owner. "We couldn't sit idly by while she suffered like this."

Over a year ago, the ersatz roofer knocked on Mrs. Skipwith's door and told her that her roof was worn out. That may have been the only truthful thing he ever said. Next, he helped the homeowner apply for an insurance payout to cover the cost of a new roof and then left town with the money. But he didn't do the work.

It was actually Kevin Yates at Commercial Roofing Specialties who saw the story first. He asked his boss if the company would be willing to donate the materials for the job and the immediate answer was, "without a doubt". Kevin then contacted Superior Roofing, a customer of theirs, to see if they would provide the labor.

Superior Roofing jumped on the chance to help. Both companies were anxious to fix the problem because it was the right thing to do.

Superior Roofing recommends that homeowners take a few simple, but very important, steps when hiring a roofing company.

"Make sure to check with your insurance company to see if they have experience with the company," said Ron Herring. "They won't usually recommend a specific roofer to repair or replace your roof, but they will tell you if they have had experience with them. It is also a good idea to check the company's business license and their own insurance and call at least three references."
