Why Choose 1907 Roofing?
How many times have you heard your friends or neighbors talk about home contractors like this:
Unfortunately, not all contractors have your best interest in mind.
After several years of experience in the roofing industry, we got tired of seeing contractors take advantage of homeowners. We started 1907 Roofing because we wanted to provide a better experience.
One of our primary goals is to help Oklahomans understand that their monthly homeowner’s insurance premium is an investment that helps you get the roof repairs you need when you need them.
Before you hire a roofing contractor, we recommend that you look out for the following red flags:
Shady Contractor Red Flags
A shady roofing contractor may have you sign a contract and put down a deposit up front. Then they’ll take a few months to get to your work.
During this time, you may change your mind and try to find someone else who will do the work faster. But you can’t because the contractor won’t give your money back.
It may sound like a great deal to have your roofer pay your insurance deductible, but from what we have seen, this means they’re going to cut corners along the way. They run a business and have to make a profit somehow, so they may use low-quality materials or do poor work to make up the cost.
It’s normal to want to save money where you can, but buying cheap materials isn’t the way to go. If you choose low-quality materials, it’s going to cost you in the long run because they won’t last and you’ll need a new roof sooner rather than later.
If you hire a roof inspector and they don’t give you much information when you ask questions, or worse, if they say “everything looks good” after a cursory inspection, this can be a red flag.
Even reports on roofs that are in good condition should be very detailed. If the report is bare bones and doesn’t include photographs, it shows that the inspector is not doing what you paid them to do.
There are plenty of companies out there that leave dealing with the insurance company up to you. However, your roofing contractor is the most qualified person to answer questions about the damage to your roof and the materials that you need for your repair or replacement.
How We Make Your Roof Project Easy
Roofing work can be very expensive, so up front payments can be a burden on homeowners. We don’t collect payment until your insurance provider has approved a claim and we’ve completed the work that we agreed upon.
We’re not out-of-town storm chasers coming to dig into your pockets and push you to get a new roof after every storm.
Our team lives in the Oklahoma City area. We know what the weather can be like and what condition your roof needs to be in to survive a storm.
We know which repairs you actually need, and won’t push you toward unnecessary work just so we can make a few extra dollars.
Did you know that you only have 365 days to file an insurance claim after a storm?
We help our customers understand their homeowner's insurance policies so they don’t miss the chance to use their insurance investment for the work they need.
A big misconception we hear all the time is that people are afraid that their insurance company will raise their rates if they file a claim. In reality, your insurer can’t penalize you for filing a legitimate claim. However, they DO typically raise rates for everyone in an affected area to recover their losses after a big storm. That means that your rates are likely to rise even if you don’t file a claim.
Most roofers won’t tell you these two essential pieces of information.
We provide a needed service and want to build a relationship with you, not just make a sale. If there's another storm in the future, you deserve to have a roofer that you can rely on because, as you know, Oklahoma weather is unpredictable.
From the first day we start working together to the last, you’ll have just one project manager focused on your home. Having a consistent manager ensures that your project goes smoothly and that you’re satisfied every step of the way. You’ll also only have to remember one phone number to call if you ever have a question or concern about your project.
When we work together, you'll have a detailed, clear quote so that you know where every penny of your money is going.
We’ll always give you an honest recommendation of what kind of work you need done, which sometimes means no work at all. We’ll also help you understand which work is an absolute necessity versus what we strongly recommend to get the best results from your roofing system.
On top of being respectful and easy to reach, we offer customer service that is unmatched in our industry. Even if it takes a lot of back and forth, our project managers work closely with your insurance company to be sure that your claim is approved for ALL of the work that you need.
We also respect your property and keep it tidy while we’re working. When we’re done, we do a very thorough clean-up using a large magnet to get any stray nails. Once we finish our work, you can be assured that it’s safe for your family and pets to be outside.
Before we celebrate a completed project, we’ll give you a tour of the work that we did and make sure that you’re 100% satisfied.
