Md Roofing Estimates and Services
Simple & Hassle Free

Hi, I'm Bill Thomas of Home Restorations MD.

I usually like to talk about YOU, and your roofing needs, but since you're here looking for a roofer, I guess I'll talk a little about our company and how we're different.

And yes, we are truly different. Most other Maryland Roofers don't like us very much. 

Why? Because they think we don't play fair. We have designed a whole business around making things easier for YOU, our prospective client. Our competition doesn't like that much!

While most of the other roofers are still doing things the old fashioned way; with sales pitches, generic forms, platitudes, and just wasting your valuable time ...

We're using email, digital photos, and online video to get information to you:

At your convenience,
According to YOUR time schedule,
And NOT just ours.

Need A Roof Estimate?  Oh my . . .

Most folks tell me that getting estimates can be a real burden. First, our competitors' roofing sales programs require that you and your spouse be home for a few hours while they: 

1. Measure the roof, usually from the ground.
   
   
2. Draw up some diagrams.
   
   
3. Price things out (starting high!).
   
   
4. Show a bunch of samples of what they want to sell you.
   
   
5. Then try to lay a heavy duty high pressure sales pitch on you.
   
   
6. Bore you to death talking about how great their company is.
   
   
7. Then you sit there while they fill the contract out for a half hr.
   
   
8. They drop the price by 30% when you don't buy right away.
   
   
9. They call their "manager" on the phone and offer a fake "manager's special" for today only.
   
   
10.  When that doesn't work they might try the "hey we'll give you a discount if we can put a sign in your yard" tactic.
    
    
11. Then there's the "while we're in the neighborhood it'll be cheaper" pitch.
    
    
12. And about another dozen silly reasons to buy now or you lose out! 
     

C'mon! People don't fall for that
High Pressure Selling stuff anymore!

So why are they still doing it?  I don't know.  And that's if they even show up at the scheduled time. People tell me that half the time their roofing salesman never showed up... or rescheduled, or something.

How About This Simple Scenario Instead?

You found our company, Home Restorations MD by searching on Google.

That's likely because our customer reviews are stellar and Google rewards us with higher exposure, so we're easier to find online than many roofers.

Or maybe a friend, relative or co-worker referred you to us.

Either way you're here now, and I appreciate that you are.  

Please check out some of our past jobs, customer testimonials, FAQ's... and then when you're ready to get your Inspection and Estimate Package, please:

• Call me directly at 301-758-5396 (my cell)...   I'll take great care of you, I promise!
  

Here's What Happens Next:

1) Right away you'll get a thank you email from me personally, with even more info. Yes, it's from me; not an automated machine.

2)  I'll ask for permission to get up on your roof and take measurements, pictures, and maybe some video. You don't even have to be there ...

3)  After all that I'll put together all of your information:

• Photos with text showing you what I found.
    
• Video.
    
• Detailed roofing diagrams.
    
• Options that you have.
    
• Samples for you to see.
    
• References with detailed job photos.
    
• A written fixed price proposal to protect you.
    
• Pricing with no mysterious add-ons or hidden up-sells.  

You'll get everything you need to make an informed decision. And it's totally customized. The pictures, video and diagrams are of your roof ... not some standardized junk.

No NCR forms with fill-in-the-blanks or check boxes, I promise.

And... so far you haven't had to invest hours in the process; nor have you spent even a dime. Nice.

Here's just one of the goodies that comes with the package; a precise,  accurate, and professional roofing diagram. You'll receive it digitally with your report.  

Notice that it's not on the back of a folder, napkin, or brown lunch bag lol. (Roofer Joke) 

At first glance you may think, "Yeah, that's nice but doesn't every roofer do that?"

Nope.  Most roofing salesmen don't even get up on the roof; so they rely on "other means" to measure up the roof.

Why is this a big deal?

Well, without them getting up on the roof to take exact measurements and survey the roof, it will cost you money if you become their client.

Let's say my competitor uses a satellite imaging company to measure up a roof.  They're really cool.  They produce nice drawings and reports, and can be of great use to roofers, let's say, in doing insurance claim work.

Problem is... I find their measurements to be off by + or - 15%!

See where I'm going with this?

My competitor will need to charge you a "fudge factor" of 15% to 30% to cover the margin for error.  On an average roof, that's $1,500 to $3,000!  Why would you pay that?

'Nuff said.  You shouldn't.

Our pro diagram and fixed price proposal have you covered.  In writing!

                        So... Now What, Bill?

1) First, I'll consolidate all of your information on a special web page created just for you.

2) Then I'll send you an email with directions on how to get your goodies.

3) You can review everything when you're ready, in complete privacy, without an aggravating salesman present... In your pajamas if you wish.

Easy!  

If you want to advance the relationship and start to talk about your project, we can get together. Or not. Your choice . . .

Some people are so happy with the easy and sensible way we do business that they just sign the proposal and email it back to us; no time wasted and ready to choose a roofing color. YOU can do it this way as well ... or do it your way!  No worries.

But... You Won't Find Me
SELLING You a New Roof!

That's Right. It's your decision to BUY if you wish. You'll never be pressured. 

Everything is covered by a simple Fixed Price Proposal. No hidden fees, no surprises, no funny business.  You will love the clarity.  "It's all in there!"

If you DO get a new roof from us -- and you're wondering which shingle color will look best on your roof, we have a system for choosing roof colors as well.

I've noticed that with some clients the hardest part of getting a new roof is choosing the shingle color. It's exciting and a little stressful all at the same time.  So many choices...

The problem is that it's challenging to visualize what your entire roof will look like based on the small sample boards the roofing manufacturers supply.

Don't worry, you won't have to drive all over the state looking at roof colors on homes that aren't yours.

Our color picking method?  I'll personally put sample shingles up on your existing roof so you can actually stand back and have a look, and choose the color you absolutely love.  No charge.

Take a couple of days.  No hurry.

This method  works 100% of the time. You simply can NOT accidently choose the wrong color this way. Peace of mind!

Does our competition do anything like this?  Nope. They sure don't.   

Just another reason why many other roofers DO NOT like us.  But that's OK -- we wear that as a 'Badge of Honor'.

And Finally ... Before,
During, and After Photos

Take a look at these job photos and case studies. You'll get 20 to 30 photos of your roofing project with callouts just like these just for being our client (more...)

Q: "Well Bill, maybe I don't need a new roof. Maybe I just need a repair. Are you going to be like every other roofer I've had out -- that no matter what -- says I need a whole new roof? My roof's only eight years old!"

No. I hear ya'. That's a problem in the roofing industry. Actually, it has a lot to do with the way many of my competitors set up their businesses.

Quickly, here's the main problem. It all has to do with money.

Take your average roofing salesman. Most of them make around 10% per sale. He has to:

1) Drive to your house.

2) Get up on the roof (well, maybe).

3) Figure out what's wrong (if he's qualified).

3) Sometimes go up in the attic.

4) Write up a contract.

5) Convince one of the company's crews to do the work (most crews HATE doing repairs).

6) Get that big fat commission check.

That's right, about $30 to 40 bucks commission for a few hours of work and pay for gas too.

Or ... throw out a longshot, try to sell you the new roof that you don't need yet, hope you bite, and make 10% of fifteen-to-twenty-thousand-dollars. Almost 70x the commission for the sales guy!

Sound familiar?

Fact is, for many roofing companies there's not enough money in roof repairs for them to do it any other way. Unless they just send some guy out to smear a little 'goop' around for fifteen minutes and charge $300 dollars. Hmmm.

But WE ARE set up to take care of your roof repairs properly as well, and we do a lot of 'em.  Plus, we're experts at diagnosing even the most difficult leaks.

Sure, we love the BIG jobs too. But if you just need a repair -- I'll tell you so! -- and after I estimate how much life your roof has left in it... we'll skillfully repair your immediate roofing problem.

See, we figured out how to do roof repairs right AND get the costs down where they belong. Just another reason for the 'other roofers' to dislike our so-called 'unfair' tactics.

Please feel free to browse. If you don't find what you're looking for, or have a question or suggestion, just drop me an email.

When you're ready for your free "Boots on the Roof" inspection and estimate, please fill out the form below -- or give me a call or email me.  I usually return emails right away; or by evening at the very latest.

Heck, the package is worth getting just to see the photos and diagrams and find out where you stand!
 
Thanks very much for stopping by. It's truly appreciated!

Respectfully!
