Stand Out From the Crowd in Roofing

Watch on YouTube

A short YouTube conversation between two speakers criticizing low professionalism in the roofing industry and urging basic standards: visible uniforms, proper safety and site practices (e.g., porta-potties, no sleeping on roofs), licensing, permits, and insurance so homeowners' investments are protected. The speakers emphasize the industry's potential to professionalize and the consumer demand for higher standards.

Consumers are probably just, like, chomping at the bit for some level of professionalism from roofing contractors.
They are. It's crazy. You bring Porta Potties in front of people's homes for the workers to actually use.
Yeah.
All these years, they're using their planter beds, and you're like, what that is. That is where the industry is still today.
That's wild.
So it's got so much potential and so much ability. You know uniforms.
Yeah.
Roofing doesn't know what uniforms is. You're lucky to get them all wearing the same color shirt. Right. Having the same hats on top of the roofs.
Yeah.
Getting guys not to sleep on roofs. I mean, this is where the industry was. And sleep on an angle. Right. Sleep. That's where the industry was, professionalizing it and getting the consumer to understand that. Listen, we're working stories in the air. Like, you want to make sure you're insured, you're licensed, you're pulling permits, you want to make sure all these necessary things are being done, because God forbid something happens, you want to make sure that you've protected your investment.
