Adelaide forums and review sites are full of roof restoration horror stories. Most of them follow the same pattern. Here's how to spot it before signing.

Red flag 1: door-knockers

"Just doing an inspection in your area, noticed your roof needs..." - this is almost never a good way to find a roofer. The legitimate operators don't door-knock.

Red flag 2: inflated discount script

Quote starts at $10,000. Salesperson calls back the next day with a "30% discount" to $7,000. The real cost is $4,000 elsewhere. Always get 3 quotes - it kills this script instantly.

Red flag 3: vague product

"Best quality paint" isn't a product. Demand the brand name: Dulux Acratex, Shieldcoat, Colorbond. Generic answers mean generic paint.
