Work with a local roofing company


 

Choosing a contractor to repair your roof can be tough.

 

Your first instinct might be to go with a well-known national company. You've at least heard of these guys, they must be doing something right?

 

But, small businesses in your community see you as a person. They understand that your hard-earned money is paying to literally put a roof over your family. That's why they take pride in doing the best job they can at a reasonable price for you.

 


 

Hiring local contractors ensures that your money stays within your area. It directly benefits your economy.

 

  • You will be giving work to your neighbors. Those neighbors will be buying supplies for the job within your town
  • That money will go into the pockets of local families.

 

  • A hardworking contractor can now pay for childcare this month. Owners of the Mom and Pop hardware store will be able to pay for their kid's music lessons.
  • Local companies often do other things to help the community. They may sponsor a little league team or adopt a highway. Helping keep them in business allows them to continue doing these acts of kindness and community support.

 

  • These companies care about their community and care about providing quality work.

 

Being locals, you might bump into your contractor at the grocery store. You might be his dentist or child's basketball coach. With this kind of pressure local also means Great Customer Service !

 

  • A good roofer is proud of the work they do. When they drive around town, they'll often check in on previous jobs
  • You shouldn't need regular roofing work but when you do it’s nice & easy to get a hold of them!

 

Texas Roofing Legislation – or the lack there of… How is this a benefit again?

 

  • It Keeps Prices Low - The only way that this lack of legislation benefits the citizens of Texas is by keeping everyday roofing expenses low. Licensing would increase prices & limit competition by raising the “Barriers to Entry” into the Texas roofing industry.

Kids don't always know what they want to do when they grow up. We find that once someone gets into roofing they rarely leave the field. It is lucrative and does not require a college degree.
