I want to say something that does not fit neatly into an ad.
This company started in 1947. My family has been on Midwest roofs ever since — three generations of us now — and in that time more than 50,000 homes and businesses have let us do the work. When you add up what that represents, it is not a sales figure. It is fifty thousand times that somebody decided to trust us with the thing protecting everything they own.
Thank you. Genuinely.
What we actually built
Roofing is not a business you can fake your way through for eighty years. A bad roof shows up. It shows up in a ceiling stain two winters later, in a warranty call nobody returns, in a company name that quietly changes after a few too many complaints. The Midwest is full of contractors who arrived after a hailstorm and were gone by the next one.
We are still here. Same family, same name on the trucks, still answering at the same number. That only works one way: you do the work right, you stand behind it, and you tell people the truth even when the truth costs you the sale. Our crews have walked away from jobs because the roof did not need replacing. That has never once been the wrong call.
What the referrals mean to us
The part of this job I am proudest of is not the size of the company. It is that we now work on houses belonging to the grandchildren of customers from the fifties and sixties. Somebody's grandmother told them who to call. That is the whole business, right there.
Every time you have given our name to a neighbor after a storm, posted a review, or told somebody at work that we treated you fairly, you have done more for this company than any advertisement we have ever run. We know that. We do not take it lightly.
The promise behind the phone number
When Mother Nature is at her worst, we are at our best. That is not a slogan we picked because it rhymes. It is the actual commitment: the phone is answered by a person twenty-four hours a day, including nights, weekends and holidays, because water does not keep business hours. When a storm comes through at 2 a.m., somebody picks up.
Everything else follows from that. A free inspection with photographs you keep, whether or not you hire us. An honest recommendation about repair versus replacement. A lifetime workmanship warranty. Paperwork with your insurance company that we are not embarrassed by — which is why we wrote plainly about contractors who offer to waive your deductible.
To the people who work here
None of this happens from an office. It happens because of crews who are on roofs in July heat and January wind, office staff who talk homeowners through the worst week of their year, and salespeople who tell the truth about what a roof needs. I have said for years that our people are the reason this works — more on that in the secret to our success. If you are looking for that kind of company to work for, we are hiring across every market.
Still the same number
We have grown into Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Indiana. We do residential and commercial work, storm damage, gutters, siding and windows. But the way it works has not changed since 1947: you call, a person answers, we come look, we tell you the truth, and we stand behind whatever we do.
Thank you for eighty years of that. We intend to earn the next eighty the same way.
