Important Warning:

What the Real RoofingCorp Will NEVER Do

Understanding how legitimate roofing businesses operate can help you spot scammers immediately:

We NEVER Door-Knock

RoofingCorp does not send representatives door-to-door to solicit work. We're a busy roofing company with a full schedule—our work comes from our reputation and referrals, not cold-calling neighbourhoods.

We NEVER Distribute Flyers

If you receive a flyer claiming to be from RoofingCorp, it is not from us. We do not distribute printed materials in letterboxes or under windscreen wipers.

We NEVER Offer "Spot" Services

Scammers often claim they can do work "right now" at a "special price." RoofingCorp schedules all work properly with written quotes and clear agreements before any work begins.

We NEVER Pressure for Immediate Decisions

We provide free, no-obligation quotes and give you time to consider your options. Anyone pressuring you for an immediate decision is not representing RoofingCorp.

We NEVER Request Cash-Only Payment

RoofingCorp accepts bank transfers and provides proper invoices for all work. We never demand cash payment without documentation.

Signs You May Be Dealing with a Scammer

Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Unsolicited contact — They approach you without you having made an enquiry
  • Different phone number — Any number other than 0414 424 878
  • Pressure tactics — Claiming your roof is in "urgent" need of repair
  • No written quote — Verbal pricing or vague estimates only
  • Cash demands — Requesting cash payment with no receipt
  • Full upfront payment — Demanding full payment before starting
  • No licence details — Unable to provide a valid NSW contractor licence
  • Generic vehicle/uniform — No clear RoofingCorp branding on vehicle or uniform

What to Do If You're Approached

1. Don't Engage

Politely decline and do not provide any personal information or access to your property. Do not let them onto your roof to "inspect" it.

2. Verify Their Identity

If someone claims to be from RoofingCorp, call our official number directly: 0414 424 878. We can confirm whether we have any representatives in your area.

3. Document the Encounter

If possible, note down details such as the person's description, vehicle registration, and any phone numbers or materials they provide. This information can help authorities track down the scammers.

4. Report the Scam

Report suspected scammers to:
