Michigan Roofing Statistics
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Michigan industry reports, there are approximately 3150 roofers employed in the state of Michigan.
- According to IBISWorld, it is estimated that there are 2086 roofing contractors operating in Michigan.
- According to the Michigan Department of Regulatory Affairs (LARA), there are only 488 active individual roofing licenses.
- According to the Michigan Department of Regulatory Affairs (LARA), there are only 180 active roofing company licenses.
Of the 180 active licensed roofers, how many are fully insured with the homeowner added as additionally insured on every job, how many can say every employee is documented and fully vetted, how many have full transparency on all of the products and services utilized on your roof, and finally, how many have zero BBB complaints, the answer, only one. These are just some of the reasons why SIO Roofing stands alone.
Residential Roofing Concerns
- Sales Force-The majority of all roofing business have turned to AI to generate leads, phone calls, and electronic communications. These leads are then followed up with outsourced traveling sales staff who are not roofers. These third-party sales staff are paid on 100% commission, meaning that the goal is a fabricated inflated price to reflect high commissions. Once sold, your job is auctioned off to the lowest contractor bidders
- General Contractors-When your job gets sub-contracted; there is typically no oversight or management of the assurances you were promised. This includes proper licensing, insurance, permits, materials, personnel, workmanship, warranty, and safety, leaving you vulnerable
- Undocumented Worker-In the event of an accident on your property, there is no workman's compensation for illegal workers. In the event of damage to your home, business insurance will not insure damage caused by illegal workers, and finally, warranties are not covered by unlicensed and undocumented workers. This means that the homeowner will be ultimately responsible for all these circumstances.
- Warranty Claims-Most manufacturers require that the contractor document everything from the inspection prior, detailed accounts for workmanship and licensed labor, and receipts and documentation of product purchase. Sales staff, general contractors, and undocumented personnel will not be able to provide details or be willing to stand behind the scrutiny of the manufacturer leaving the majority of all warranty claims unfilled and unfulfilled.
- Customer Service-The majority of all roofers have either out-sourced customer service to an answering service, AI, or a third party to address any and every issue after the sale.
- Permits-Any individual or company not licensed in the state of Michigan to perform roofing services, will not be granted the ability to file for a permit for your roof repair or replacement. Please keep in mind, the permit process is put into place to protect the homeowner. It assures that the critical stages of roof replacement are not only up to local ordinances and code but also assures the workmanship is up to par. The municipal inspector makes evaluations during various stages before closing the permit.
