Why You’d Have to Be Silly to Go with a Traditional Roofer
In the world of home improvement, few things are as daunting as dealing with a roof replacement. You know the drill: a traditional roofer knocks on your door, offers a “free inspection,” and then hits you with a price that makes your wallet want to hide under the couch. Sound familiar? It’s time to ask yourself—why are we still doing this?
You are being sold to
In roofing, the traditional sales tactics are how they land you as a mark.
Plant the Seed
the roofer goes into a neighborhood and is visible. connects with people. tells you what they do and learn more about YOU then you do about THEM. Some push contracts at this point, others just offer to do a free inspection or put a sign in your yard to ward away 'all the other guys'. Either way, they plant the seed that you should go with them.
Watering The Crop
they show up again, they swing by, "Oh i was in the neighborhood helping the Johnsons or Smiths bla bla bla.
Maybe they tell you that you HAVE to have a roofer with you when the adjustor comes to be 'on your side'. This is bogus, as the adjustors don't want the roofers to be there, and are often standoffish when a contractor shows up. The roofer can't argue or change the adjustors mind anyway. In no point in history has a roofer yelling at an adjustor face to face gotten them to change their assessment from "Denied" to "Whops, our bad, your roof is smoked here's some money". But what it does is keeps you familiar with that sales guy, so it's easier to sign a contract with them.
Watch The Seeds Grow
With care and feeding, this is where you get plucked. The salesperson having built rapport with you is now able to 'land the sale'. Even though, by this point you still don't know what labor and material costs are, and how much money they are making on you. And you won't when you work with a traditional roofing company. Traditional roofers are experts in keeping things vague. They give you a quote, but they don’t show you the breakdown. Why? Because if you knew how much they were pocketing, you’d probably laugh (or cry). The secrecy isn’t just frustrating—it’s downright silly. Why would you willingly enter into a contract where transparency is as elusive as Bigfoot?
The Knock-Knock Game
Let’s talk about door knocking. You’re minding your own business when, bam, someone’s at your door, offering you a deal that sounds too good to be true. And guess what? It usually is. These roofers rely on high-pressure tactics, hoping you’ll make a quick decision without fully understanding what you’re getting into. It’s like saying yes to a blind date without knowing if you’re meeting Prince Charming or a frog.
