Boca Raton Roofing Service helps Homeowners With Free Roof Inspections and These Easy Tips for Finding a Good Roofing Contractor.


Boca Raton Roofing Service helps Homeowners With Free Roof Inspections and These Easy Tips for Finding a Good Roofing Contractor.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Jason Blair, a representative of Free Roofing Pro (a free Boca Raton roofing service), tells us “If a roofing contractor is having money problems, those problems can rapidly be passed on to an unsuspicious homeowner.”

This is an all too familiar story from South Florida that makes homeowners terrified of hiring the wrong roofing contractor. The truth is that fifty-fifty good roofing contractors can mess things up.

Here are some tips from Free Roofing Pro on how to find a good roofing contractor:
1. Visit their offices. You can tell a lot from their place of business.
2. Talk to their suppliers. If they pay their suppliers, they probably pay the rest of their charge.
3. Talk to their employees. If their employees aren’t getting paid on time, it is a red flag.
4. Check for liens. Multiple liens that are filed can be a sign of financial difficulties, or poor service.
5. Check your city and see how many permits they pull a year?
6. Check their license at MyFloridaLicense.com
7. Make sure their insurance covers roofing, and that their workers’ comp covers a list of in house employees, or that the subcontractors have workers’ comp to cover their in house employees. Contractors need to provide all insurance certificates upon request.
8.    Some companies have general construction insurance, and that is not the same as roofing. Their insurance award must say roofing specifically or it is not covered. Most municipalities are unaware of this or simply ignore it.

“It is a lot to consider, and just think – you need to do this until you find 3-4 good contractors. Who has the time for all that? This is the reason why people get scammed. It is nearly impossible for a homeowner to be 100% sure what they are getting into when hiring a roofing contractor.” he says.

Mr. Blair adds “even if you call someone like Service Magic, or check on Angies’ List, you still have to find the time to meet with 3-4 contractors and compare the proposals. It can be very time consuming. In the end you still may not get all the info we can provide you, or the coaching you need to get the job done right.”

“We provide free roof inspections, advice, and citing. We are not selling you anything. We simply come out, survey your roof, and say you what we think. If you need a good roofing contractor, we can find one for you, if not that is ok too.”

“We provide a free roof inspection and give you a written evaluation. If you like we can then write up the scope of work, get all the pricing, research the companies, and provide a previous customer report, all for free. You choose which proposal you like and we do the rest. All the paperwork is already done and the colors are picked so it expedites the entire process. We collect a small fee from the chosen roofing contractor for bringing him the work. There is never a charge to you from us.”

If you would like more information about Free Roofing Pro and their services, you can visit them on the web at http://www.FreeRoofingPro.com or call them toll free at 877-593-6656

Q&A: How to have good Financial Planning for single income?


Question by iwan72: How to have good Financial Planning for single income?
In the uncertainty world it looks dificult to have full financial planning for people who has single income. does anybody share with me?

Best answer:

Answer by Financial Answer Guy
Start little and be consistent. Set up a money market account and have a small amount of money automatically lodge every month. Try to save as much as you can each month and keep it up until the balance of your money market account is at least equal to three months worth of expenses.If your employer offers a retirement plan, sign up for it. ESPECIALLY if your employer provides a match.If you have a family or love ones that depend on your income, get life insurance.Seek out a financial planner. Be very skeptical of career life insurance agents and absolutely avoid anyone who:tells you to only buy term insurance.tells you to only buy permanent insurance.uses a multiple of salary approach to determine your need for coverage.

John D. Blossom’s Designation as Registered Fiduciary? Renewed


John D. Blossom’s Designation as Registered Fiduciary™ Renewed

John D. Blossom, CEO/President of Alliance Benefit Group – Illinois

Peoria, IL (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

John Blossom, CEO of Alliance Benefit Group – Illinois has successfully completed the training, validation and testing necessary to renew his certification as a Registered Fiduciary™. The Registered Fiduciary (“RF™”) Certification identifies financial professionals and organizations as competent fiduciaries that have achieved pertinent educational qualifications and licenses, learned required skills, and have passed a background check.

The RF™ designation to John Blossom recognizes particular skills in the area of consulting services to qualified retirement plans. In addition to Investment Advisory Services, Alliance Benefit Group services 401(k), 403(b), 457 and Defined Benefit plans.

In acting as a Registered Fiduciary™ Mr. Blossom and Alliance Benefit Group is committed to always acting in the best interest of clients, using the skills, ethics and focus on the client needs that the Certification represents.

The Registered Fiduciary Certification is based on the 2010 Fiduciary Standards of the Fiduciary Standards Board and validated by DALBAR, Inc., the independent expert.

The Fiduciary Standards Board is a not-for-profit (501(c)(3)) organization established in September of 2000 to develop and advance standards of care for investment fiduciaries, which include trustees, investment committee members, brokers, bankers, investment advisers, money managers, etc. The Fiduciary Standards Board is independent of any ties to the investment community and therefore positioned to be a crucible for advancing fiduciary standards throughout the industry and to the public.
