A Local Business with the Innovation and Resources of a National Brand

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home and one that’s subjected to heavy wear and tear. According to Architectural Digest, the average U.S. homeowner can expect to pay around $1200 for a roof repair, though costs can go as high as $2000. Because a healthy roof is so important for the longevity of your home it’s important to know that you have the best professionals working on your roof and guiding you through the process from beginning to end.

At RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors, we believe in the power of local craftsmanship backed by the power of big business. That’s why we created the RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors platform, to create a broad network of highly qualified, local companies and connect them with the right customers for the right jobs. 

The Benefits of Local

When it comes to your home, especially your roof, you want a company that’s familiar with the area. First off, local builders are more familiar with the local building codes, reducing the chances of you being fined or ticketed for breaking some obscure ordinance you didn’t even know about. They also know the nuances of the local weather and can better assist you in suggesting the right products and services for your home. For example, if you live in an area that experiences more hail than average, they may suggest impact resistant shingles.

There’s also something to be said for working with someone who is local to your own community, helping to support your neighbors by hiring them to do work on your home. And because they’re local, they’re never too far if you run into an issue or have a question.

It’s also important to regularly monitor the health of your roof and local companies are easier to build an ongoing relationship with. When you work annually with the same company for your roof inspection and any necessary repairs you might need, they get to know you and your home better and may even be able to provide discounts for your loyalty.

The Benefits of National

These days it’s not easy being a small business. Bigger competitors with deeper pockets and more resources can easily steal away customers with lower prices, higher availability, and more customer support. With the resources at their disposal they can hire more workers, negotiate lower rates with suppliers, develop relationships with insurance companies, and offer in-demand features like warranties and insurance-claim support.

However, there is a trade-off. Larger companies often sacrifice quality in favor of quantity, leaving customers feeling more like numbers than people.

The Solution of RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors

RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors brands do not operate like other local roofing companies even though they are homegrown like brands you see in your community.  We are locally and regionally based with the infrastructure of a national company, and a culture steeped in responsiveness and accessibility.

This allows us to merge the quality of local business with the reach of a national brand by bringing local companies into a broader supply network with access to the capital and resources necessary to provide a top-tier customer experience alongside quality construction. 

We offer industry-leading warranty and support throughout the customer journey, including helping secure insurance coverage for damaged property and handling claims.
