Does this sound familiar: An adjuster knocks on your door, maybe after a big thunderstorm, they say they just replaced your neighbor's roof absolutely free. And they can do the same for you if you sign a contract right now, before their special deal expires, and without any references or proof they're insured.

These are all roofing red flags that Idaho's Department of Insurance wants you to watch out for so that you don't get scammed or stuck with a giant bill you weren't prepared for. DOI's Consumer Services Bureau Chief, Randy Pipal joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
