How do shingle ratings and warranties actually drive sales?
First, they are not the same thing, and many roofers are getting this wrong.
Ratings = “This has been tested.”
Warranties = “This company backs it.”
Why does this matter?
Because homeowners aren’t buying roofs.
They’re buying what feels like certainty.
If you can’t explain this properly to homeowners, they will not understand your value.
But if you get this right, you could be the one roofer that stood out from everyone else.
P.S. If you're looking to increase your close rates, improve your processes, and learn from industry experts, I'd love to invite you to join us inside the Roofing STRONG Alliance™ community:
