In Louisiana, insurance referral lists are short and are first come, first serve. The lists have nothing to do with quality. Furthermore, your agent has probably never been on a roof to inspect the quality of his referral's work and has no idea if the work is good or not.
Southern Roofing offers a five-year workmanship warranty that says that we believe in our work. Not a one year or a three year, but a five year warranty because our guys have been well trained and do great work. In fact, we have had other roofing companies call us to fix their leaks and screw-ups. Our competition just knows that we are the best roofing company in Shreveport.
If the name you hear when you ask for a referral isn't Southern Roofing, then do your agent a favor and introduce him to Southern Roofing.
