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:
- Measure the roof, usually from the
ground.
- Draw up some diagrams.
- Price things out (starting high!).
- Show a bunch of samples of what they want to
sell you.
- Then try to lay a heavy duty high pressure
sales pitch on you.
- Bore you to death talking about how great their
company is.
- Then you sit there while they fill the contract
out for a half hr.
- They drop the price by 30% when you don't buy
right away.
- They call their "manager" on the phone and offer a fake "manager's special" for today only.
- 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.
- Then there's the "while we're in the
neighborhood it'll be cheaper" pitch.
- 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!
Or... fill out the form below.
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:
- My "Boots on the Roof" Detailed
Inspection.
- 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!
