Why You Shouldn’t Sign a Roofing Contingency Form

Most roofers show up after a storm and shove a contingency form in front of you. It looks like harmless paperwork. It’s not.

Here’s what it really means:

• You’re locked in. If insurance approves the claim, you must use that roofer — even if you don’t like them.
• You don’t know the price. You’re agreeing to pay before you see the bill.
• Hard to cancel. Once you sign, getting out is stressful and messy.
• Their gain, your risk. Many roofers push claims just to land jobs — not to get you the best roof.

👉 A good roofer doesn’t need to trap you in fine print. They’ll earn your business with transparency, trust, and results.
