Don’t Be Swayed By Low Prices & Quick Installs

It’s how out-of-town companies get customers. After a storm like the tornado we experienced in mid-April, many Waukesha County neighborhoods had visible damage. Torn-up roofing shingles, damaged siding, and gutters torn clear off.

When the damage is that obvious to homeowners, the storm-chasers notice it, too.

Right away, you’ll see unfamiliar trucks sporting obscure company names you’ve never heard of, and unfamiliar contractors knocking on doors and passing out business cards.

Don’t fall for it.

Too many locals have signed vague contracts with these so-called “exterior remodelers,” only to have a failing roof or siding system in just a few short years (sometimes even sooner). And don’t even bother with the warranty – in the vast majority of cases, storm-chaser companies go out of business shortly after completing the work.

Not at Exterior Pros and Baths. Our exterior remodeling products are built to last. That’s why local homeowners know our name – and our high quality of products and services.

Many homeowners make the mistake of not thoroughly vetting an exterior remodeler. As long as the roof or siding goes on, you may think, does it really matter who installs it?

Absolutely.

There are many complex steps to any aspect of exterior remodeling.

If your exterior remodeler doesn’t have strong core values, can you really trust them to complete every step with expert precision? Remember, there are many steps that homeowners don’t see – especially regarding roofing, which isn’t something that they can directly observe on a day-to-day basis.

Trusting an exterior remodeler is all about that – trust.

What are “storm chasers,” and why should I avoid them after a tornado?

Storm chasers are out-of-town contractors who rush into storm-damaged neighborhoods offering low prices and quick installs. Many use vague contracts, cut corners on installation, and may disappear within a couple of years, making warranties difficult (or impossible) to use.

Why does it matter who installs my roof, siding, or other exterior upgrades?

Exterior remodeling has critical steps that homeowners can’t easily see—especially in roofing and weatherproofing. A contractor’s values, experience, and attention to detail directly impact how well your system holds up against Wisconsin weather, helping prevent early failures, leaks, and costly repairs.
