How to Spot a Storm Chaser

After every major storm, out-of-state contractors flood the area.

Why this is dangerous

They collect deposits, do substandard work, and disappear. Here is how to protect yourself:

Red Flags

  • No local office or address
  • Out-of-state license plates
  • Demands large upfront payment
  • Offers to waive your deductible (fraud)
  • Pressures you to sign before adjuster visits

What Ridgeline Does Differently

  • 4 local offices since 2012
  • AL #52235, FL CCC1331346
  • BBB Torch Award for Ethics (North Alabama, 2023)
  • No payment until work is complete
