	We will patiently guide the customers you send in to our showroom through the selection process of choosing a roofing material system.

We have specific showroom referral forms, which you can request from us for you to have on hand, that will make this process really easy and efficient.

	We will act as your middle-man to expedite any material concerns you run across from manufacturers. Although we do not provide material warranties or guarantees, we can assist in the process of guidance in material warranty claims resolution.
	We will spend time and effort to find the right roofing solution for your clients.
	We have knowledgeable staff on hand to educate your customers on roofing and the choices they can make.

We already do the advertising and marketing, and we can assist you in bidding more work without you spending unnecessary amounts of advertising expenses.

Our referrals usually have researched their choice of roofing already and are ready to make a buying decision once they have found a reliable competent roofing contractor they are comfortable with for their project and can trust to take of their home.

Of course price always is one of the issues the consumer is concerned with, but more often they are looking for the best value. Value is not always the lowest contract price. Instead it is the most effective amount required to complete the job to the satisfaction of the client, to the level of workmanship required, for the type of materials being used, factoring in the complexity of the roof, the desired architectural look, and the after-completion service preferred by the consumer.

Its up to you to prove the value you are bringing to the table. With no other information at hand the consumer may think that price is the only way to compare bids. But we all know that "price" selection led to "Leaky Condo Crisis". Those leaky buildings were created by selecting contractors on price alone, and not on the value of craftsmanship and/or material selection and assembly.

Our referral service has been working successfully for years already. We assist homeowners in finding qualified contractors to install the roofing materials they have chosen at our Ultimate Roofing Showroom. They are looking for good value by finding quality roofing materials to protect their home, and want someone to complete their project in a worry-free "all-taken-care-of" fashion.

We match qualified contractors with these homeowners by judging which "Good Guys" would be best to bid the type of materials chosen from our selection, in the area in which this homeowner's roof is to be installed. We give two referrals for each job so that competitive bids can be compared. Any more, and it may be a waste of your valuable time, so we try to discourage homeowners from getting too many bids.

What we do try to achieve is apples versus apples bidding. To achieve this we often make a short list or specification of what materials and accessories have been chosen for this project. That way each contractor is bidding on the same materials and accessories, at the same cost per unit, and need not get into too many details with the homeowner ... the job has already been specified.

We may have spent quite some time with the homeowner already discussing architectural style, colours, textures, and roof-scaping appearance. We ask that if the homeowner has chosen certain styles of shingles, with High Definition Ridge-Venting under High Profile capping, or the Built-In gutters are being replaced with EPDM installed with required sealing tapes and glues, that you do not try to talk the homeowner out of such details, but rather bid the work as specified. In the time we have spent with the homeowner, we have all determined what needs the homeowner has judged is necessary or prefers to have completed.

Of course, with your eyes on the specific project at the time of the estimate, you may see more or different details needed to complete the job with better practice or material accessories, and we all welcome your input ... you are of course one of the experts in our industry. But in order to keep the bids comparative we ask that on our referrals you offer these changes as an optional "extra" or optional "deletion". This way the homeowner is getting what they have requested at our showroom, where possible, and they can choose the contractor providing them the best effective value comparing their services, professionalism, years in business, follow-up service, references, the contractor's bid, but most importantly .... their craftsmanship.

This referral service has made our team of referred contractors very busy, and they are getting backed up with work. Therefore we are searching out for new members of our exclusive club of qualified contractors. If you think you have what it takes to be one of the "Good Guys", and you are not already on our referral list, please contact us as soon as possible as we have many referrals to give out this year.
