5 Distinct Benefits Of Hiring A Local Philadelphian Roofing Contractor

If you carry out a quick online search for roofing contractors in Philadelphia, you’ll find nearly 20 pages of results. With all those available options, how on earth can you go about picking the right one?

Well, for starters, you should know that a lot of those contractors aren’t even local to the Philadelphia area. Many of them are from out of state and have subcontractors here. That can sometimes be bad news. Would you rather leave your roof to a contractor operating outside of the area or trust it to a local Philadelphian contractor? It’s probably wise to leave it to someone who knows the area, who works and lives in the same place you do.

There are many advantages to hiring a local Philadelphia roofing contractor, and today we’ll double down on five of these benefits.

1) Assurance of a Job Well Done

When you hire someone to carry out work on your home, you need them to be trustworthy. If the roofing company you hire is local, you can readily check them out. A local roofing company is more likely to have worked on the roof of a family member, friend, or coworker, and you can ask them questions about the company.

Also, you can easily head to their offices and meet with them face-to-face. These things wouldn’t be possible if you were working with subcontractors for an out-of-area firm.

2) Compliance Made Easy

Building codes, licensing rules and regulations, and laws regarding insurance are not the same across the country. What works in one area might not work here in Philadelphia. If something goes wrong, you could be held at fault.

Working with a local roofing company ensures that they’re fully abreast of all the local laws and that they are aware of local regulations concerning their work.

3) Personal Touch

Working with large franchise contractors can be an underwhelming experience. Particularly when resources are stretched thin, you may get the short end of the stick.

Working with a local roofing company helps to ensure you get more one-on-one treatment. Any problems that arise will be easier to solve, and you are less likely to deal with dozens of different people throughout the project.

4) Emergency Response

If you ever find yourself in a roofing emergency, you’ll get a much quicker response from a local company than you would from an out-of-state outfit.

Your local roofing company can quickly process the details, document information for insurance purposes, get the work done, and restore your home to its ideal condition. It would take much longer with a company that wasn’t local to scythe through all this admin from a distance.

5) Community

Using a local roofing company is also beneficial for the community. The people who work on your roof live right here in Philadelphia. You weather the same storms, you shop at the same stores, and perhaps your children attend the same school. Many of our experienced employees are part of volunteer efforts and community outreach initiatives in Philadelphia. We are invested in the community here, and we care about the roofs of those around us.

James P.

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”

“Home Genius has provided great service from the start of the project until the end. From the moment I met Brady Phillips, the home remodeling expert, my experience has been amazing! He explained everything from the products that would be used, of my choice until the end of the project. I really loved the professionalism and consideration of the workers and also the project manager. The project manager notified me of every step. I appreciate the workmanship. Thank you again Home Genius and I have already begun recommending this company!”

Sharnita A

“Home Genius Exteriors replaced my entire roof and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, did quality work, and had great customer service. We had missing shingles and Home Genius was able to complete our roof in less than a week from the estimate! Melissa did the estimate and was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best decision for our home. Casey was the project manager and she communicated all the information we needed, was on top of everything with the project, and was even helping clean up after the work was complete to make sure the yard was safe for my kids. Would definitely recommend Home Genius 10/10 they went the extra mile!”
