    No, just a house. If you need a full roof replacement due to wind or hail damage that costs a lot of money. You probably also need new gutters and other things will get wrapped into that insurance claim as well. Fortunately it's covered by your homeowners insurance so you don't pay much or sometimes anything out of pocket but the check to the roofing company is pretty significant and the salesman gets a good chunk of the profits for bringing the business. The lowest commission on a roof is $2k while commissions can be up to $6k depending on the roof and what all needs to be done. We also offer solar. The basic solar system costs about $130k. Of course it's financed so the homeowner actually saves money as the payments on the solar system is still less than the average electric bill in most cases. The commissions on the solar systems are $3k on the low end but can be as much as $8k.

    I wish I could sell a roof to the AT&T stadium. 1 roof and I'd be set for the year!

    130k for solar...does that include a battery backup system? I only paid 30k for mine. Would never even consider 130k.

    Sounds like a MLM scam. Good luck.

    I just called a local roofing company when we needed a new roof. Better price, better quality, and the profit stays local.

    I have roofing companies call me all the time saying they are in the neighborhood and ask if they can inspect my roof. I just tell them they are acum and to lose my number if I wanted my roof inspected I would call someone

    We are local. We're not storm chasers. Been in the DFW area since 2007 and have lots of good reviews on both Yelp and Google

    No, I'm not here trying to recruit anyone and even if I did recruit someone I wouldn't get anything for it
