Homeowners wanted a better way to find and select a contractor. We listened to the what they said and RoofMarketplace.com was launched.

Working in property insurance, the founders of RoofMarketplace.com Will Bazeley and Dave Kish identified an issue with how the carriers, contractors and insureds work through the process to estimate and select a contractor. 1) Homeowners and contractors didn’t really have a good way to communicate with each other. 2) Homeowners didn’t have a way to shop around to find the right contractor for their jobs, and the good contractors had trouble differentiating themselves and getting their name to the people who needed their expertise and hard work.

One of the biggest places this caused a problem was in roofing. The only online resources available to homeowners would mostly just sell contact information to aggressive and sometimes predatory contractors, who would harass the homeowner looking to close their business. Homeowners get frustrated and sometimes stuck with a shady contractor. Good, local contractors sometimes lose business to storm chasers looking to capitalize on an event leaving the homeowners with little recourse if issues arise in the future. There had to be a better way.

The solution was RoofMarketplace. RoofMarketplace.com provides a platform for contractors to show their value by estimating jobs and building a good reputation on the site. Homeowners, meanwhile, get a collection of honest information, with no harassing phone calls or visits, to determine who’s really the best person to replace their roof. The modern way of doing business has finally reached the roofing market.  Homeowners can NOW shop online for their roofing contractor.
