ODESSA -- By now you've probably received dozens of phone calls or flyers from roofing companies following last weeks hail storm.

But do you know how to tell the difference between a legitimate company and a scammer?

CBS 7 spoke with a local roofing company to help you make the right choice.

They're known as "storm chasers" and they will say just about anything to get your business.

It came and left in just thirty minutes, but believe it or not last weeks storm caused $480-million in damage throughout the city of Odessa.

Among the laundry list of things that were destroyed were people's roofs.

"Everybody becomes a roofer in the state of Texas when there's a hail storm," said Dennis Wiebe, an adjuster with Trademark Builders in Odessa.

Wiebe has been in the business for over 20 years and has had too many cases to count of people getting scammed by so called roofing companies.

"They offer people all kinds of different things to sell a job," Wiebe said.

Things like paying your deductible, Wiebe says this is one red flag you need to be aware of.

Any reputable business will be able to provide you with a valid license and proof of insurance, as well as with an address, not a post office box.

"You should never have to give anybody money upfront, because there's people that have given the contractors money upfront and then they disappear," Wiebe explained.

The unfortunate part of falling victim to one of these storm chasing businesses is that you won't know it until about five to 7 years down the road, when the roof starts falling apart.

Wiebe says the best thing you can do is call your local BBB office to make sure the company is not a scammer looking to make a quick buck.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Questions remain about what led to a roof collapse that forced nearly 80 residents out of their homes at a Lakewood apartment building on Sunday.

The affected residents at Maplewood Village Apartments are waiting to find out when they will be allowed inside to retrieve some of their clothing and belongings.

While waiting for answers, some residents have been using their vehicles to live in while only a few stayed at a Red Cross emergency shelter on Sunday night.

The residents are blaming the roofing contractor and its supplier for the collapse. The crew fromGulf Eagle Supply Company began removing the huge stack of roofing materials still sitting on a second building on Monday.

The building was also evacuated on Sunday out of fear it would also collapse.

The supplierhas had two cases filed against it in the past two years and is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau.

"That's our life. Some of us had to miss work because of this. Unfortunately, some of us aren't getting paid for this. A lot of us want to just go in get our belongings and see what's going on, but it was just always a story getting thrown here there and everywhere," said displaced resident Rena Martinez.

"Unfortunately, it appears that there was too much weight in one particular area and that's possibly what caused that,"Jess Driggers of Planet Roofing and Solar said.

Driggers is co-owner of Planet Roofing, which was supposed to begin work on the buildings Monday.

Driggerssaid the supplier improperly placed tons of shingles in single piles instead of the standard practice of spreading the weight across the roof .

"We're doing everything possible on our end. We've activated our own insurance to step up and make sure that these people are taken care of," Driggers said.

A structural engineer will have to determine when residents can be allowed back in.

"They both have to solve this problem for us because many families here have kids and are homeless now," displaced resident Carlos Lopez said. "We're still staying strong."

The apartment complex is located near Wadsworth Boulevard and West Ninth Avenue in Lakewood. One man captured part of the collapse on video.

A resident said the roof had been damaged in a hailstorm a few weeks ago. There were no injuries.

Q: We are in the process of getting estimates for our roof and the various contractors weve spoken with are suggesting different materials as part of the total roof package.We want the best protection. What are the different parts of a quality roofing system?

A: Lets face it. New England weather poses many opportunities for roof damage, from strong winds to freezing rain. As the seasons take their toll on your exterior, fortifying your home with a quality roofing system can help keep the damage to a minimum.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that not all roofs are created equal and a new roof doesnt automatically mean youre protected from the elements. Quality roofing systems are key to fortifying your roof for every season, and this is what you need to look for to get the best protection (and bang for your buck):

The characteristics and ROI of quality roofing systems

Just like any other investment youll make as a homeowner, the quality of your upgrade directly reflects on materials and performance. Roofing replacement can yield an almost 70 percent ROI (return on investment) according to Remodeling Magazines 2017 Cost vs. Value report, making it one of the best home improvement upgrades to consider this year.

However, be careful on the quality of the roofing that you choose. Bottom dollar roofing wont offer much protection for your home when you need it the mostlet alone provide the best return on investment if you decide to sell.

While a lot of homeowners envision their roof as a series of shingles, the truth is that there is a lot more to your roof below the surface. In order to truly fortify your roof, youll need to invest in a system that delivers the ultimate protection.

Six major components of a quality roofing system:

1. Increase ventilation with ridge and soffit vents

Roof ridge vents and soffit vents are designed to help your home breathe and circulate air.

Ventilation is a major characteristic of quality roofing, since lack of airflow can cause moisture buildup in the attic.

Not only do these components help air circulate through your attic, but they also protect your entire roofing structureincluding the shingles and the roof deck. This is achieved by preventing heat and moisture buildup with continuous airflow.

2. Fight against moisture with leak barrier protection

No New England homeowner wants to find wet areas inside of their home. This is why quality roofing must include leak barrier protection that helps keep moisture out of your home.

A quality leak barrier system prevents leaks around the most vulnerable areas of your roof, including the chimney, eaves, side walls, skylights, valleys and more.

Furthermore, a leak barrier system also protects against ice dam formation during the winter months. If your roof was damaged from previous ice dams, a leak barrier system will help prevent that in the future by preventing melting snow and ice from soaking through your shingles and into the roof deck.

3. Combat roof rot with synthetic roof deck protection

Roof rot is a nasty predicament that nearly no homeowner wants to deal with. Signs of roof damage include:

- Missing or broken shingles

- Strange bubbles on your roof

- Shingles that easily crumble away

- Pooling water that lingers after rain

- Curling or buckling shingles

- Missing granules

- Moss or algae growth

Synthetic roof deck protection offers an extra layer of protection between the roof deck and shingles and prolongs the life of your roof. Roof deck protection can block moisture and prevent wind-driven rain from doing damage. In addition, quality synthetic underlayment lays flatter, allowing for shingles that lay flatter and appear more uniform.

4. Increase lifespan of roof starter strip shingles

Quality asphalt shingles can last 50-plus years depending on the manufacturer. You can get more mileage out of your roof by opting for self-adhesive roof starter strip shingles. These are an important component of a quality roofing system since they help prevent shingles from blowing away in winds as strong as 130 miles per hour. If you live in one of the many coastal areas of

New England, youre well aware of how damaging strong winds can be for your home.

5. Opt for lifetime shingles

Speaking of longevity, choosing lifetime shingles will stretch your investment even further.

Lifetime shingles are heavier and more durable than what youll find with run-of-the-mill shingles making this option an exceptional choice with fortifying your roof for good. Want even better news? You can get high quality shingles in a wide range of shades and colors to improve the beauty and curb appeal of your home.

6. Better protection with lifetime ridge cap shingles

The last component of a quality roofing system is lifetime ridge cap shingles. This is the cherry-on-top for quality roofing systems. This component can enhance the beauty of your home while also guarding against leaks at the hips and ridges, the areas of highest stress on the roof.

As we all know, roof damage is costly. A high quality roofing system installed by a top rated roofing contractor will help fortify your home from top to bottom, preventing leaks, roof rot, ice dams and more.

AT HOME WITH STEPHANIE: How quality roofing systems will fortify your home - Wicked Local Boxford

The Slaughter Roofing Cancer Tennis Tournament has an uncanny knack for bringing people together strangers, long-time acquaintances, family, friends.

For Sarah Abeyta, the tournament and the sport in general has nudged her even closer to someone she is already close with, her boyfriend and doubles partner, Adam Less.

It also brought her face to face with a fellow former Eaton High School athletics standout whom she had heard plenty about but had never actually met before Friday: Kendra Cunningham.

On one side of the net during the Mixed 8.0 Doubles semifinals match at Centennial Courts: Abeyta and Less. On the other side: Cunningham and Jon Haruguchi volleyball aficionados by trait, building their tennis skills in recent months.

More experienced and seasoned on the tennis court, Less and Abeyta topped Haruguchi and Cunningham, 6-1, 6-2, to punch their ticket to today's finals, facing Cindy and Rick Wehmeyer at 10 a.m.

"I'm excited," said Less, a Davenport, Iowa native, who now coaches boys tennis at Poudre High School. "We always like to win. Yeah, we like to have fun, but we like to win, as well."

Abeyta added, "The best part about it is it gives us another opportunity to play together and have fun."

Cunningham, 23, is a 2012 Eaton graduate and volleyball standout, who went on to star for the University of Northern Colorado. She was hired as the Bears' Director of Volleyball Operations after graduating from UNC in 2016.

She works alongside Haruguchi, 43, who was hired a month and a half before Cunningham as an assistant under head coach Lyndsey Oates.

Abeyta, 32, is a 2003 graduate of Eaton where she was a state tennis tournament runner-up. After high school, she took 10 years off of tennis before getting back into the sport a few years ago, at the urging of her younger sister, Caryl Abeyta.

Less, 38, has been playing for only about 2 1/2 years, but he has tennis in his family.

His sisters introduced him to the sport, and he's latched on to it.

One of his five sisters played with Caryl.

Adam and Sarah met as a result of their sisters' tennis connection.

They've been dating for about a year and have been tennis partners for the past several months.

Sarah and Adam suspect their siblings weren't just trying to play match-maker strictly within the confines of tennis when they brought the couple together on the court.

"Both of our siblings were playing match-maker with us, I think," Sarah said.

Caryl got Sarah back into tennis and ultimately connected her with Less.

"My sister Caryl encouraged me; she said, 'It's a great way to meet new people. It's a great activity. It's a great way to meet a new boyfriend,' " Sarah said with a chuckle, while looking up at Less.

As much as Abeyta was enjoying time on the court with Less on Friday, she was just as grateful to finally meet Cunningham, an unrelenting volleyball competitor Caryl had told Sarah so much about.

Caryl graduated from Eaton just before Cunningham began her career with the Reds.

While volleyball is clearly her specialty, Cunningham also played tennis her first two years of high school.

She hadn't really picked up a tennis racket until recently, as the volleyball staff had begun having "Tennis Tuesdays" this past fall.

Oates and her staff would swing rackets out on the UNC tennis courts after wrapping up their work indoors on the volleyball courts.

Oates, an avid tennis player and past competitor at the Cancer Tennis Tournament, recommended Cunningham and Haruguchi sign up for this week's tournament.

The duo figured, "why not?".

"Every time we talked on the phone (with tournament organizers), it just felt like this was a really nice tournament they were putting on," Haruguchi said. "There was no stress involved."

Well, no stress, for the most part.

Having not played tennis in an organized, competitive setting in seven years, Cunningham admitted to being a little anxious as she prepared to step on the court Friday.

Any butterflies she may have had quickly went away. She and Abeyta connected the dots of their respective Eaton athletic histories, then proceeded to engage in a match that featured just as much laughing and back-and-forth banter as it did back-and-forth rallies.

"I was nervous," she said. "Tennis is a polite sport. But, just to have competitors who can laugh with you or give you pointers was awesome."

In between games, Less chowed down on some barbecue, while all four competitors stayed hydrated with their drinks of choice.

When Haruguchi put a little too much torque on a swing that ended up costing his team a point, Abeyta deadpanned, "That would have been a good volleyball spike."

After Cunningham acknowledged the cordial nature of the match, saying, "I love that you're cheering for us, even though you're our competition."

Abeyta responded, "We want to encourage you to play more tennis."

Abeyta's partner spoke for himself, hollering across the net, light-heartedly, "I want to kick your butt."

Nonetheless, Friday's match might have been the least bothered the uber-competitive Cunningham has ever been after a loss.

"Our goal was to not get shut out," Cunningham said with a laugh. "We won three games. So, we're improving. And, honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with how we played. So, I think we'll have to practice a little bit more, and we'll find some more tournaments."

Meanwhile, Abeyta and Less were enjoying the type of Friday that many couples do during a cool summer night: Friends, family, a little bit of barbecue, some ice cold drinks and a chance to grow just a little bit closer in front of a warmhearted, charitable background.

"It doesn't matter if you've been playing tennis for five days or 10 years, you can come out here, have fun, make new friends and support a good cause," Abeyta said of the tournament. "We really want this tournament to keep going, and it would be amazing if it built momentum for next year."

Authorities raided a location on Chelsea overnight, resulting in the discovery of a large amount of stolen roofing materials.

At least 10 people were takeninto custody at the time and four eventually were arrested.

Earle Farrell, spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, said deputies were on the scene in the 4200 block late Thursday night and remained through this morning.

Assistant Chief Deputy Mark Dunbar said it could take as many as three flatbeds trailers to haul away the materials found at the address.

"I promise there was is $1 million worth of roofing materials back there," Dunbar said. "It was kind of like the Home Depot of roofing materials."

Dunbar said the case started in Arlington where home building is on the rise. With the increase in building, thefts will follow, including four last week.

With that in mind, authorities told builders to let them know when materials would arrive at their site. Deputies ran surveillance in the area, and Thursday evening spotted a truck back up to a house under construction. The occupantsloaded two pallets of roofing materials.

Dunbar said the truck drove directly to the Chelsea address near Interstate 40, leading to the raid at the address.

"The whole back yard was set up like a warehouse," Dunbar said.

After getting used to an elaborate bucket system, roofing day is finally here! Well, okay, maybe not roofing day, since its going to take 4-5 days to do the whole roof, barn and all, but its still roofing time!

Though wed originally had our hearts set on a standing seam metal roof, with such a huge and elaborate roof, the cost of using metal was way out of our price range. Instead, we opted for shingles installed by Home Depot with a 50 year warranty. Still pricey, but definitely a lower cost than metal. Plus, we figured that since its backed by such a large entity, we are less likely to run into hassles if there are any issues with it down the road.

After the first day of roofing, the crew (who are all really friendly), was able to get one side of the barn stripped of its old, moldy shingles and replaced those with new ones!

Ill take be taking more pictures today of the before and after of the roof then and will post an update once its all done!

Yay for a new roof! No more buckets!
