HAIL DAMAGE - WHY CHOOSE DR. ROOF?

The most important thing for any roof replacement project is the installation of the roof, and that the job is done properly the first time. The day the roof is installed is the most important day in the life of your roof.

87% of all new roofs have roof leaks built into them the day it's installed.

The quality, skill and integrity of the men working on your roof, is the single most important determining factor on whether you will get a well installed leak free roof, or not.

Why Choose Dr. Roof?
"CONSUMER WARNING: Home Lien Controversy - Video - WSB Atlanta"

In this regard, there is no one better than Dr. Roof.

Here's why we think we are your safest and best choice.

  • We are totally concerned and committed to quality roofing and service.
  • There are no licenses for roofing in Georgia. There is no thorough inspection from authorities of the roofing job for your protection. Roofers are not even required to pass any entry exams in Georgia.

24 Reasons why Dr. Roof is your best choice.

1. We have over 65,000 satisfied customers since 1988.

2. Dr. Roof has the best roofers in Atlanta, because they have graduated out of our unique program and roofing school. No one is better or more sophisticated and skilled than Dr. Roof in this area, and these are the men that will be installing your roof.

3. A random poll by Harris Interactive of 20,000 Atlanta consumers overwhelmingly chose Dr. Roof as the best contractor for Quality workmanship, Value, Service and Appearance, and made Dr. Roof the recipient of the 2004, 2005, 2006 and the 2007 Consumers' Choice Award ™ (CCA) in the category of Roofing Contractors.

4. WSB-TV.com has also recognized Dr. Roof for their business and Roofing excellence and has chosen Dr. Roof to be their WSB-TV.com Roofing Expert.

5. Dr. Roof is a GAF Master Elite Certified and Licensed (# ME02000) Roofing Contractors. Only 2% of all Roofers in the US have met GAF certification standards to be a Master Elite Contractor. This confidence from the manufacturer enables Dr. Roof to offer you up to a 20 year workmanship warranty. No other contractor can offer you such a safe warranty for your peace of mind.

6. You know we'll be here to stand behind our warranty. We have stood behind every job we have done since 1988. Compared to other roofers, especially those that started their present roofing company within the last 5 years. What happened to the customers of their previous companies? Its easier to close down and start again with a new name than to honor warranties, when the results of bad workmanship come in.

7. In 20 years of service, we have never changed our phone number or service area, indicating stability.

8. Homeowners have no protection against poor contractors and defective workmanship because there are no thoroughly enforced standards, codes or regulations. Roofers aren't even required to have a license. To protect homeowners, we created the "2003 - 2004 Standards of Conduct and Competency Homeowner Protection Code." These are the highest standards in the industry, and they provide accountability in an unregulated industry, and they are included in writing on your roofing contract.

9. Agreement with methods of Installation and Standards stated on your contract: It's your only protection after work has begun. Dr. Roof has instituted the first comprehensive installation standards for homeowners. If a roofer does not say how he is going to install your roof, then he is not accountable for anything he does on your roof. Remember, there are no thouroughly enforced State standards. You are at the mercy of the Roofer you choose. Even if a government inspector checks the roof after it is installed, it is too late to properly check the installation.

10. We at Dr. Roof care about excellent workmanship, so we developed the "Dr Roof Academy of Roofing", the only school for roofing in Georgia. All Roofers are trained and tested. Testing is so stringent that 98% flunk the first time, and 72% never pass. The 28% that pass work at Dr. Roof, and the rest work for other roofing companies.

11. Anyone can be a roofer tomorrow. Anyone can claim (x) years of experience that you cannot validate, and should not trust. When someone says they have (x) years of experience, it generally means (x) years of bad habits. Our roofers are graduates of the "Dr. Roof Academy of Roofing", with knowledge, experience, and good work ethics and habits. Dr. Roof gives you the best Roofers in Atlanta.

12. We have a 6 man Quality Control division to ensure that your work is done right, through a meticulous Quality Compliance Job Inspection Checklist.

13. Proven financial stability. See Letters from banks and suppliers.

14. References from customers, banks and suppliers since 1988.

15. Special Financing - up to 12 months same as cash.

16. Official "Lien Waiver" Up Front: The Contractor's Supplier can provide a "Materials Lien Waiver" for your home. If your Roofer fails to pay the Supplier you could be held responsible and a Lien would be placed against your home until you pay off their debt. Get Your Lien Waivers Up Front! Period.

17. Insurance Coverage & Agents' Information: Require a current certificate of insurance with Agent's Contact Information. Some Contractors use certificates that are forged or expired and the "Self-Insured" generally means No coverage.

18. Injury Waiver Holding You Harmless: All workers must have injury waivers pre-signed for your protection holding you and your insurer harmless in the event of an accident on your property. We've all heard of ridiculous lawsuit opportunists. Protect yourself.

19. Step Flashing at Walls, Chimneys, & Skylights: One of the most important and often neglected methods of installation is step flashing. Learn what step flashing is and absolutely require it installed properly.

20. Secretary Of State Corporate Records: Be sure your contractor is incorporated. A "Sole Proprietorship" means the real owner does not want to be on public record.

21. Bank Letter Of Financial Stability: Has the contractor sustained longevity with their current bank and how does their banker describe the relationship?

22. Product Supplier Credit Status Letter: Ask your contractor for a letter from their primary materials supplier. If a contractor does not have a "good credit rating letter" from their supplier, be cautious, the supplier/contractor relationship is vital.

23. Accreditations: Consumers Choice Award Winner for 2004, 5,6 and 2007, voted best Roofer in Atlanta by Consumers. NRCA - WSBTV Experts - CertainTeed Master Roofer - GAF Master Elite Roof Contractor, Member: Master Roofing Association - BBB.

24. Minimum 10-Year Reference List - Past & Present: Always contact references and ask how they were treated. It is also helpful to visit homes that are being roofed to see the work in progress.
