We look at your roof for free. What you do next is your call.
Not every roof needs replaced. We tell you what’s actually up there, show you the pictures, and lay out every option you have. Then you decide, on your time.
Modern day roofers.
Roofing picked up a reputation over the years and a lot of it was earned. Knocking on the door the morning after a storm. Pressure to sign before you have had time to think. We do the opposite, and most of that is just bringing service back and treating you like a person.
It is what it is
That’s how we talk about a roof. If yours is fine, we’ll say it’s fine. If it has ten years left, that’s what you’ll hear. We’re not going to dress up a condition to make a sale out of it.
Not every roof needs replaced
Plenty of them can be repaired, and we’ll tell you when yours is one of them. A repair that solves the problem is a better answer than a replacement you didn’t need.
Insurance is not the only answer
It’s one of four ways to go, and often it’s not the best one. It should be a choice you make, not the default.
We deliver on what we promise
A roof is one of the biggest checks a homeowner ever writes. Sometimes it’s life savings. We do not take that lightly. We do what we say.
I came out of corporate roofing.
Travis Haessly, founder
I spent eight years inside the big corporate roofing world, so I know what those companies aren’t telling you.
The overhead in there is hard to believe, and it has to come from somewhere. It comes from you. Then private equity started buying these companies up. Homeowners stopped being people with a problem on their house and became a number on somebody’s spreadsheet.
I left because there’s a better way to do this.
When you call The Roof Champion, you get me. No call center. No closer sent out behind me. No four hour presentation built to wear you down until you sign something. I look at your roof, I show you what’s on it, and I give you a straight price from a local company.
If your roof is fine, I’ll tell you it’s fine. That’s the part they could never let me say.
Free, and there is nothing attached to it.
A storm comes through and you’re told a dozen different things about your roof by a dozen different people. Start with someone looking at it and telling you what’s there.
The whole roof, top to bottom
A roof is three things: the wood deck it sits on, the layer over that, and the shingles you can see. We check all three, from up on the roof and from inside the attic where there’s access. What matters most is usually what you can’t see from the driveway.
The rest of the property
Gutters, siding, metal trim, windows. Storms don’t stop at the roofline, and a look that only covers shingles misses things.
Photos, and a report you keep
You get photos of the actual condition, not a verbal summary. You should be able to see exactly what we saw. And you leave with a condition report. Every visit, every time.
A sit down afterward
We go through it together and talk about what each option really means for you. Take as long as you need with it.
Most of what we find is not damage. It’s the small stuff nobody has told you about. A pipe boot starting to split, a flashing joint that’s going to want attention in a couple of years, a gutter running the wrong way and dumping against the foundation.
You hear about those too, whether or not there’s a job in it for us.
People want to know what the catch is.
There isn’t one, but there is a reason.
If I get on your roof and tell you it has five good years left, you didn’t spend anything and I didn’t sell anything. And when it comes about that time in five years and you’re thinking about it, you’re probably going to call me.
That’s the whole plan. It only works if I tell you the truth.
You have four ways to go.
We go through all four. Then you pick the one you’re most comfortable with.
A lot of people ask whether filing will raise their rate or get them dropped. We can’t answer that. It depends on your policy and your carrier, and the person who actually knows is your agent, so ask before you file, not after.
We are roofers. What we can do is tell you what’s on the roof, put it in photos and writing, and wait while you find out.
I might not be the cheapest quote. I’m definitely not the most expensive. What I’m looking at is the scope, and that’s where comparing two prices stops making sense.
Right materials, right techniques, qualified people. When you do it right and you don’t cut corners, the scope is what makes the price higher. It’s easy to cut a scope to make a lower price.
And you’ll hear from me while it’s going on. Smallest update, you get it. Anything that affects you, you hear it before it happens, not after.
