How do we select
the contractors that we refer ?
The contractors we refer are people we know
and do business with. It is not necessary that they do all their
business with us though. We refer them because they have developed a
reputation of good customer service and responsive quality roofing
material installations.
The contractor we refer may have
specific expertise in the products you have chosen at our showroom. Or
he may be part of list of "good guys" who have the capability or general
roofing experience and knowledge to be able to complete a roofing
installation of specialized materials, with the quality and performance
you are expecting.
Often these "good guys" are not the
largest roofing contractors in the market, but instead have years of
successful project completions and happy customers. Sometimes they may
not have large advertising or yellow pages as they have been successful
being referred from homeowner to homeowner, which is often a compliment
in itself.
These contractors are usually people we know, and have installation
crews we could trust to do work on our own roofs on our own homes.
Why do we happily
provide homeowner's with referrals to roofers ?
Re-Roofing a home is not an everyday
experience. It may occur only every 15 to 25 years. We want to take the
guess work out of who to hire and why. Certainly going through the
yellow pages can produce a hit or miss result and may only add to the
confusion.
At times the largest ads do not
represent your best choice or the most solid reputation ... only a
willingness to spend large advertising dollars to attract your
attention. Sometimes the contractors with the largest ads are not around
to service their work next year, as they quickly went out of business
with the help of an inflated advertising expense. In fact the
contractors who have been around the longest are often frugal on their
advertising, but have earned a reputation which brings them business
week after week, and year after year.
We work hard to help educate homeowners
and builders on roofing material choices with our free advice. We want
to ensure that the material you choose from us is installed with quality
roofing supplies, and quality roofing installation practices.
Do roofers and contractors have
to pay for our referrals ?
NO. We only expect that if they
are chosen to install your roof that they purchase their supplies and
materials from us for your project.
Their is no binding agreement with these
contractors to purchase the materials from us... only a handshake,
and the understanding that we expect the homeowner to get excellent
service, and a quality installation.
All Weather Products Ltd does
not Guarantee, Warrant, or Represent the Contractor, or their

The All Weather Products'
Referral program is a FREE service offered to homeowners and
contractors. It is conducted entirely with the Homeowner's satisfaction
in mind.
Contact us for free referrals of
quality contractors. We suggest you visit our showroom before getting a
roofer to come and bid your project, unless you are absolutely certain
what materials and roofing accessories you will need on your specific
roofing application.
Feedback is important to
us, both positive or not, so that we can constantly supervise who
continues to qualify to be in our referral program. Please let us know
how the job went after the roofing project is completed.

We can assist you in the
Okanagon now from our Kelowna branch, as well throughout Metro Vancouver
and the North Shore from our conveniently located Burnaby super-store
warehouse.
All information provided
to us will be in the strictest of confidence, except any information you
wish for us to pass on to the roofing professional.
Our team here at All Weather Products work hard to match your project's
requirements to a "Good Guy" roofing contractor.
We recommend that you first
make the trip down to our showroom for
guidance in selecting your roofing materials. The selection of type of
material, thickness, style, texture, and colour is best completed at our
showroom by viewing our large comprehensive roofing displays.
You will also be able to review your project issues and material
choices with one of our free roofing consultants available at our
facility. The knowledge you can gain may be invaluable and you will be
better equipped to discuss roofing issues with a prospective roofing
contractor.
Choosing roofing materials from sample boards, colour brochures, or
from our website will give you only a limited perspective on the
requirements of your roof, and which texture is best chosen for your
roofscape.
Another huge, I repeat HUGE issue, is the new warranties on
asphalt shingles this year. There is a tremendous amount of
misrepresentation happening in our roofing industry today, especially by
the implied warranty statements from shingle manufacturers, as well as
misrepresentation by salesmen and roofers, so we cannot stress enough
how important it is to come to one our showrooms and talk to our
un-biased sales associates about the real facts. We sell many brands of
shingles, and some of them have actually seriously reduced their
strength, their weight, and their thickness this year, while at the same
time increasing the "sound" of their warranties. Tall tales are being
told, noses are growing long and wooden, and misrepresentation is
rampant.
No longer are all shingles built the same. No longer is one
manufacturer's version of a "Lifetime" warranty shingle equivalent to
another's similar version. Even the lowest end shingles in everyone's
inventory has a vast difference between the brands. Some brands are
actually 17% thinner, 17% lighter, 17% less strong, yet they cost around
the same. These are huge differences in value, and huge differences in
weight become huge reductions in storm resistance, wind resistance, and
curb appeal !
Please, let us help guide you
though the truth of roofing, warranties, quality, curb appeal, and
value. We can guide you through the options, for free, and help you
towards a smart choice ...for your home and your specific requirements
and budget.
