I've had many of my old customers tell me that so and so roofer expert said the metal roof on their home is no longer made or just what you said...they are the authorized repair company certified by the manufacturer. All lies of course. Like mentioned above when the storm chasers see a metal roof most drive on by but slick salesman will try to get a foot in the door....metal roofs pay ALOT more money than shingles. Then when the owner buys their line of lies he will go find a sub contractor to do the work.

I�m gonna be making some conditional threats if this keeps up. This is happening on my cell which is on the do not call list.

Several years ago after a storm came through I found a piece of a shingle in my driveway that had a rubber band around it with a roofer's business card. I thought it was just trash that had ended up there somehow and threw it away.

A few days later I found another, and a few days later another. This jackhole was driving through neighborhoods throwing his scraps on peoples' property as a way to advertise.

I called him and told him to cut it out and his answer was that he had to make a living. I told him he could knock on my door any time of the day or night and I'd be glad to discuss it with him in person.

Next time a roofer calls, I'm going to say I have a neighbor who thinks everyone is spying on his wife. The last time someone got on my roof, he threatened to whip their azz.

Are any of them collect calls from prison?

The whole process of getting a new roof is one of the most loathsome tasks I have ever experienced. I'd rather pull out a tooth with vise grips than to have to go through it again. I got a 30 year roof and pray I die before I have to go through it. I could write a novel on my experience. God be with you on your quest.

why are you answering numbers you don't recognize

When answering the phone or door, I always tell whomever that my brother-in-law is a roofer, or a pest control guy, or owns a lawn service, or is a painter. I do it so often, my wife has started doing it too.

I need to do that.

This

you have to hire the right people
it is still a process though

i always just answer the phone
never understood screening calls

I always answer calls, Phone is a company phone and I have a lot of people calling me that have got my number from one-call tickets.

yep
you never know what good fortune awaits you on each call
