FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My minimum price for a site visit for Roof Consultation is usually $160, that includes a minimum 5 page inspection report, drone inspection, Thermographic Scan (aka infrared moisture scan), and a folder containing a minimum 200 photos of your roof that you can use to showcase your property. Now that minimum is for properties in El Paso County, with roofs under 2000 square ft. for each additional 500 sq ft, we charge an additional $40 dollars. If you are outside el paso County, I usually charge $40 per hour drive, but this might vary for longer distances or larger jobs. I also try to schedule long distance jobs at the same time so I can reduce the costs for us, as well as for our customers. For roof design, I charge $40 per hour in office, $65 an hour on site. and no, I don't take breaks or inflate your time, I try to keep my costs bare minimum on designs and they usually cost between $100 to 300 for residential properties and $400 to 1200 on commercial jobs. If you and your neighbor(s) get work the same day, I'll discount everyone's. I also offer rebates if you refer customers. Your neighbors 6 miles away? That's fine. my discount applies as long as your within 10 miles of each other. Need a certification on your roof to go with your inspection, either to help sell the property or to give you peace of mind? It will cost 25% the cost of the inspection report (so $200 minimum).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I need to know why you're calling a consultant. Most customers fit into 5 categories: 1. I'm about to do my roof, and I want someone to write the scope so u get the best roof, at a cost-effective installation with a contractor I can trust. - We have documented installations from hundreds of roofers and have done thorough background checks. Not only do we have in-depth knowledge to get you the absolute best roof for your property, but we will even know which contractors to invite to bid and which ones to block their numbers. 2. My roof was just installed and I want to verify the condition. - Roof Inspections have dozens of sources to reference, from codes to manufactures. We will look at your contract to make sure they didn't violate any laws before we inspect the roof detail by detail, making a full report in what is good and bad, and if it is bad we will help you hold the contractor accountable. In the extremelyrare circumstance that goes to court, we will be happy to attend and break down step by step for the lawyers and judges to understand exactly what is required and owed. We have stood in courtrooms before over roofing quality, and our proud to say our clients have NEVER lost a single trial. 3. I need to know if my roof needs replaced from a source that isn't looking to earn commission. - From infrared moisture scans, a thorough in- person inspection, and a drone flight, we look at your roof from every angle and give you an honest and obligation free report. 4. I am selling/ buying a home and need someone to inspect and certify the condition. - On top of the inspections described above, we end our reports by certifying your roof, protecting the property and assuring the new homeowner is protected. Our reports will detail out years of expected maintenance, the condition of the roof, and can certify its condition up to 10 years, depending on its condition. 5. Can you teach our maintenance men to do roof repairs and maintenance so we aren't spending hundreds/ thousands a year? - Every roof is different. While we always do our best to train you and your staff, please understand we take every training opportunity as a unique building. We cannot describe this process without seeing the roof first.
