I dont know how these people got my number but Im getting 3 calls a day from people that tell me they are with either an insurance company or roofing company. So annoying.

I just tell them all to come out and look at my roof. I might get 2 - 3 there at the same time and get a good competitive bidding war going (although I have standing seam metal and I assume no one ever finds any issues - in fact I think they look from the street and drive on).

My insurance agent is a long time friend. He has a roofer he works with. Ive used that roofer 2 times, once on the old house and our current house. He does good work, has done tons of work with my insurance company/agent and is trustworthy.

But don't you want a free estimate? How old is your home? Do you still have to paint the eaves and overhangs? Have you ever considered vinyl siding. I'd like to have a representative stop by and take some measurements, maybe show you some pictures of homes we've done in your area and give you a free estimate and right now we are running a 20% factory discount .... there's no obligation to buy. When will you and your wife be home tomorrow?

Spring before last when we had egg sized hail the roofers came out of the wood work. I work from home and had to put a large sign on the door that said " No Soliciting. ESPECIALLY Roofers!!" otherwise I couldn't get any meetings done. Some still had the gall to bang on the door. One told me he had an exclusive contract with the manufacturer of my metal roof, and that no other roofer in Texas could legally repair it. That guy was such a jerk he almost got punched in the neck.

We got the hail a couple nights ago. Next day we had a half dozen roofers come by. Yesterday the phone was ringing off the hook - almost all of them from what I would consider blue collar towns (according to caller id). Just didn't answer.
