Storm Chasing, Storm Contracts, BEWARE!
Good afternoon everyone, the storms have come through and there is a lot of damage all around the Durand Eau Claire area. As an experienced contractor, MLS is here to help. With that being said, please, please do not panic. We completely understand that every roof needs to be repaired as quickly as possible. But do not panic and rush to sign a “Contingency Storm Contract” with the first roofing contractor that knocks on your door. First and foremost, these “Contingency Storm Contracts” are ILLEGAL. If you accidentally signed one, these “Contracts” hold no weight in court and they go against Wisconsin law.
MLS Enterprise will work with you, providing a free estimate with photos of the damage to send to your insurance company. MLS Enterprise will collaborate with your insurance company. MLS will NOT force you panic sign a fake “contract” that doesn’t have a monetary figure involved.
If you were pressured into signing a “contract,” DO NOT feel trapped; it holds no weight and is illegal. Storm chasers do this to gain work, rush through it and leave town. They arrived on the ground one hour after the storm, signing contracts without even inspecting the roof or providing an estimate for replacement. How does this make sense? It doesn’t. That’s why it is illegal. Chances are they will tell you, “let’s see what the insurance sends out for paperwork to start. We will go from there on pricing” ………….
Call Mason at MLS Enterprise, let us provide you with proper pricing, handling, warranties and upgrade discussions.

Thank you!
