 5 Reasons NOT to Hire Pro-G Contractors

You find salesmen entertaining

You know the type. They show up wearing suit coats. They bring laptop computers, arms filled with sales material to “educate” you with. They tell jokes and show you pictures of their children. Before you know it they are like members of the family. Hey, why not spring for those mock slate shingles with the lifetime warranty? These guys wouldn’t sell me something I don’t need would they?

We call them the guests from hell. These professional salesmen, or closers, are there to sell you something, whether you need it or not. They will not leave your home until you either sign that contract, laid ever so skillfully in front of you with an “X” next to the signature line and a pen at the ready, or you threaten to call the police on them.

When you contact Pro-G Contractors for an estimate or repair you’ll get a Pro-G Pro, a skilled tradesman who knows how to analyze your problem and recommend the most cost effective solution. We will not SELL you anything. We will advise you on the most cost effective remedy for home’s exterior problems. We will educate you on the rationale behind our advice. We put everything in writing, up-front, and never pressure you to sign anything. Also, we don’t wear suits, unless you want us to, but you’ll have to pay extra for that. We don’t like suits.

You’ve got all day to wait for your roofer

It is amazing that we have grown so accustomed to bad customer service that we not only accept it, we expect it. I had to wait 3 weeks to have a Sears “technician” look at my dishwasher. I took off work and waited all day for a “morning” appointment but no one showed up. I called and spoke to a customer service representative who told me that they had called to reschedule the day before but that the phone had been busy. She explained that a busy phone call like still counted as a phone call. “Would you like to schedule another appointment”?

At Pro-G Contractors we know that your time is valuable. If you ever have a problem with any work that we do for you, as unlikely as that is, you tell us what time of day works best for you. We will rearrange our schedule to accommodate you and we will not leave you waiting.

You don’t mind cleaning up after your contractor

Most contractors feel that a certain amount of collateral damage is expected, and as long as your property looks OK from a distance you should be happy. Don’t be satisfied with only “a few” marks on your siding, or a door that catches “just a little bit” or debris that was only left in those “really hard to clean” areas.

We treat every single home that we enter as if it is our own. We take every precaution against damaging the parts of your home near the area of our work. We’ll cover your siding, windows, doors and landscaping where they may be affected by materials being removed. We’ll rake your lawn and shrubbery, broom or blow clean your hardscaping and driveway, and run our magnetic brooms over and over and over to ensure that pick up every nail and metal scrap that may have escaped our tarps. We will ask you to walk the property with us at job’s end and we will not leave until you are completely satisfied with our cleanup effort.

Experience and reputation don’t mean much to you

It’s easy to get into business. It’s hard to stay in business. There are plenty of guys out there who get a little on-the-job training, buy a pick-up truck and a ladder and “Presto” they are in the roofing business. The simple fact of the matter is that most of these guys won’t be around to honor the guarantee they gave you when your hired them.

Do your research. Get references. Now get references from 5 years ago, 10 years ago. Don’t fall for that “Lifetime Guarantee” from a company that is just starting out.

We were born and raised in this business. Our father was born and raised in this business. Our grandfather was born and raised in this business. Our great grandfather started out in 1926. We’ll be around to honor every contract that we sign. You can count on us.

 

Low bid gets the job, Period!

Our prices are very reasonable. We rarely lose a job to another legitimate contractor based on price. But, there are plenty of fly-by-night contractors out there who get their work solely because they can undercut our prices. How do they do it? They cut corners on materials and workmanship. They don’t pay for appropriate business licenses. They don’t carry sufficient liability insurance, if they carry any at all. They hire unskilled workers and pay them “under the table” to avoid paying taxes and workman’s compensation insurance. Perhaps most importantly for you, they do it by NOT standing behind their work. Just try to get these guys out to service a problem after they get their money out of you.

These guys are easy to find. They usually have a phrase like “We Will Beat Any Written Estimate” in their advertising. If you plan on awarding the job to the lowest bidder no matter what, give us a call. We’ll give you an estimate and we’ll give the name of at least one area “contractor” that we are sure will beat our price. Just don’t complain to us when you get exactly what you paid for.

Our family has been in this business since 1926. We’ve lasted that long by delivering a first rate product at a very reasonable price and, perhaps most importantly, by standing behind every single guarantee we write.

We are Pro-G, 4th Generation Roofing, Siding, Window and Door Contractors offering you Prompt, Courteous, Respectful service at Affordable prices. Give us a call. You’ll be happy you did!
