Rewards for Praise from Your Tampa Roofers

One of the newest members of the Arry’s Roofing family shared his feedback with us on Facebook this week:

I’m please to say that I didn’t have to wait the four weeks Mathew Housh of Arry’s Roofing set as the expected start date.  We were notified they could begin 4-5 days sooner than expected. Once the team began work it was apparent they knew what they were doing and the work would be completed to my satisfaction.

Like many men my age I’ve seen my share of not-so-good trades people.  Out of habit I watched their every move, fully expecting to have a confrontation about the quality of work. The Arry’s team presented themselves professionally, promptly and exhibited skills in their trade that exceeded my expectations.  Every member of the team seemed genuinely pleasant, ready to work and didn’t stop working until the job was complete. They found a little more damage than expected and the additional expense for materials was barely worth mentioning; except to say they didn’t try to over charge for anything.

We were pleasantly surprised with their demeanor, professionalism, price and most importantly the quality of workmanship.

Yes, Arry’s estimate seemed slightly higher and yes we were skeptical but at the end of the day; we received our monies worth and we couldn’t be happier. 

We highly recommend Arry’s Roofing without reservation to our children and other members of our family.

Best Regards

Voting Begins for No Roof Left Behind Finalists

For several months Arry’s Roofing spotlighted the No Roof Left Behind promotion to encourage people to nominate themselves or another deserving Pinellas County family. The 4+ month period of nominations ended recently, but a new step in the process is about to begin. Following a short review to determine which homeowners are worthy of becoming finalists, a period for voting for these finalists gets underway.

Friday August 2 marks the beginning of that voting process. You will have several weeks to show your support for a finalist. Thanks to a little red button the nominations page, you can even give yourself a reminder to vote by adding it to your personal calendar. For the link to voting, click HERE.

You will only have four finalists from which to choose. That’s four lucky homeowners who survived the cut down from 113. If you haven’t been introduced to this large pool of candidates for a free roof, take a moment to get acquainted with them now. You can find them by clicking HERE.

The number of nominees is especially impressive to us because we saw less than a few dozen posted on the No Roof Left Behind page during most of the nomination period. But that number grew quickly in July as the deadline to nominate approached. Even with only a few days left to the nomination period, only 70 homeowners were listed on the page. The number jumped to triple digits by Friday July 19.

Volunteers have a couple more days to review the nominees before the names of the four finalists get posted online. We encourage you to vote then spread the word. Share your vote with us on our Facebook page or Twitter @arrysroofing. Tell us how you determined which finalist was your favorite.

On Monday September 9, the name of the winning homeowner will be announced. The announcement will happen online, although we don’t know the exact time yet. Make a note on your calendar to check that day for the winner’s name or visit the Arry’s Roofing Facebook page where we will share the details as well.

Arry’s Roofing Achieves TrustDale Certification

Brand_Logo

Our Tampa Bay roofing customers know we never stop trying to improve the business and enhance our offerings within the market. That’s why we’re pleased to announce the selection of Arry’s Roofing by Consumer Investigative Reporter and CEO, Dale Cardwell, of TrustDale, as the newest recommended provider for Roofing Services. It’s the latest of accolades for our business which began in 1990 and quickly grew into an industry leader throughout the Greater Tampa Bay Area.

Becoming TrustDale Certified is no easy feat for any business. The certification process requires prospective businesses to pass Dale’s stringent 7-point investigative review of reputation, price, quality, and customer service.  After completing this objective vetting process, the business is approved to join a select group recommended to consumers through the online business referral source, TrustDale.com.  Arry’s Roofing passed the recent review and completed the certification process.  The final step was acceptance of the TrustDale Make It Right Guarantee, which demonstrates our commitment to practicing the highest standards of customer service.

When announcing our certification, Dale Cardwell shared some words about our new status as TrustDale Certified:

“At TrustDale we empower consumers with researched solutions for their toughest buying decisions,” said Dale.  “I’m very pleased to welcome Arry’s Roofing Services, Inc. to our elite group of certified and recommended businesses.  Consumers can place their confidence in them as one of the Tampa Bay’s best.”

We hope Tampa roofing customers in the market for roof repair and roof replacement take the time to carefully consider the value of choosing a roofing contractor recognized by both the roofing industry and a leading consumer advocacy group when making the important decision about which company to hire. The TrustDale certification coincides with the latest announcement from GAF that we once again earned the trip of Excellence Awards, including Consumer Protection Excellence, Training Excellence, and Installation Excellence. We’re proud of each one of our accomplishments and grateful for the customers whose repeat business has helped strengthen our reputation.

No Roof Left Behind: Pinellas County Nominees

NRLBWe’re two months into the No Roof Left Behind promotion and already eight homes in Pinellas County have been nominated for a chance to win a free roof replacement this fall. If you know someone who’s also deserving, you want to move quickly to complete the nomination. July 19 is the closing date for all nominations.

So far, our nominations have come from St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas Park. One of these homeowners could be our lucky winner, but they must pass the nomination review point this summer and then do well in the finalist voting. The winning home will be announced on September 9.

The extent of roof damage isn’t enough to get a homeowner into the winning spot. It’s also important to show and tell a good story to get others interested. As we see by the current nominees, even choosing the headline should be effective. The one in Pinellas Park wrote, “Just real back luck.” One homeowner in St. Pete chose “Starting Over” to explain the situation there.

Arry’s Roofing invites you to view each nomination, check out the photos, and get a sense of the circumstances.  If a submission moves you, you’re welcome to share it from that page by clicking on any of the adjacent icons. You can email it, Tweet it, Facebook it, Google+ it, and share it on LinkedIn.  Spreading the word could help your favorite nominee get a step closer to getting the roof replacement you both feel they desperately need and deserve. You can also leave a comment on the nominee’s page; a short note of encouragement is always appreciated.

Keep in mind, if you decide to nominate someone or nominate yourself, you and any other nominee must live in Pinellas County and be the owner of the home in order to be eligible for No Roof Left Behind. Also, finalists must be current on mortgage payments in order to receive the free roof prize.

The nomination form is easy to fill out and most of it should take just a few minutes to complete. The critical areas you’ll want to spend more time on include explaining the roof’s current condition and sharing a personal story about why the nominee truly deserves a free roof.  You’ll want to keep the story at 150 words or less.

Roofing Praise from a Solar Community Member

Clearwater’s Andrew Karpinski loves his solar power and making music. When he sent a review of the work done by Arry’s Roofing, he included a link to one the songs he created for a cartoon band. It’s not about roofing; it’s about a guy dating a zombie. We’ll get to that later. First, let’s look at how we helped this Tampa Bay roofing customer.

“I want to thank you for the way your company accommodated my special needs with regards to my solar photovoltaic installation. You did the work when you said you were planning to. You also did the whole removal, dry-in, and tile installation in less than four days. This resulted in my solar electric system being shut down for less than six days, which includes the removal of the solar panels and their re-installation. Your men also allowed me to re-install the standoffs on the bare roof deck and then your men waterproofed the standoffs and their corresponding flashings, as well as the electrical feedthrough box, in the normal course of the roof dry-in, which results in a better waterproofing job than I or any solar contractor could have done and pleased the building inspectors.”

Andrew goes on to explain a serious problem he had with a previous roofer after he acknowledges one of our Tampa roofing experts by name.

“I also want to thank you for the help your people, particularly Dave Braund, gave with quotes and working with the insurance people in getting the settlement  for my damaged roof, which was damaged by another roofer who had materials delivered to the wrong house. I used your firm nine years ago when I first replaced my tile roof. Then I was very happy with the dry-in and flat roof but not so happy with the tile job. This time both jobs were well done!”

We are so pleased to hear this kind of feedback from a satisfied customer. We do handle this type of work from time to time as well. On this particular job, Arry’s Roofing didn’t install the actual solar products, but we worked with the solar contractor and made sure everything is waterproof.

As our thanks to Mr. Karpinski, and to provide you with some musical entertainment, here’s a link to an animated music video for his band Stone Marmot. Fans of zombies will especially like the song. Enjoy!

The Return of a Military Rebate

In 2012 you may have seen our blog posts, Facebook updates and Tweets about the Roofs for Troops program from GAF. The program has returned in 2013 for homeowners here in Tampa and nationwide. It all begins with contacting a GAF Factory-Certified Contractor.

Of course, you’ll need to qualify for the program first. The rebate is intended for active military, veterans and retirees living in the United States. Last year, thousands of military families took advantage of the offer from GAF through their local roofing contractors. Their commitment to installation of an exceptional roofing system came first, of course, which is why they chose to hire GAF Factory-Certified Contractors.

There are a few necessary steps to qualify for the rebate and GAF has made it simple to understand what’s involved. On a page dedicated to Roofs for Troops, you can find the rebate form to download, and even locate a GAF Factory-Certified Contractor. Also, you can see other important details, such as when the rebate period ends and the limit of one rebate per qualifying individual.

Installation of a Lifetime Roofing System is a key part of the offer. You’ll need to provide proof of your military status as well. Active Military will need to submit photocopies of a current Leave and Earnings Statement (LES), and veterans and retirees need to submit a DD Form 214. Your contractor’s form is another essential part of your submission materials.

While the roof installation needs to take place during this calendar year, you will have some extra time to submit your rebate materials. As the terms and conditions state, the submissions must be receieved by January 31, 2014. Your rebate check will arrive within 8 weeks, but you can track your rebate by email or online.

We know many of the brave men and women who have served our country are from Tampa Bay or have settled here. As a Master Elite Roofing Contractor, we invite those individuals and families to contact us to discuss roofing needs and the Roofs for Troops rebate. We can schedule a time to inspect your existing roof and provide a written estimate for roof replacement.
