Now You Too Can Get A
'No-Hassle' Md Roof Estimate
Delivered Right to Your Computer
Using the Internet to Deliver Your Roof Estimate Is So Convenient;
You Save Time, Money, and Headaches!
Yes, that's me, Bill Thomas, in the middle of another roof analysis and
estimate -- making sure that you get all of the pictures, videos, diagrams, and other information you
need so you can make a truly informed decision regarding your new roof.
So what's up with the computer on the roof? Well, sending your
personalized estimate via the internet is the best way for me to get you the information you need
right away, so that you can get your new roofing project going and avoid damage to your
home.
The #1 Problem With Getting Roofing
Estimates
Let's face it, getting roof estimates can be a real hassle. Meeting with three
or four roofing contractors can take hours, days, or sometimes even a week or more! That's a big wasted
chunk out of your busy schedule. It's time consuming but it doesn't have to be.
Plus, people tell me that half of the roofers they called never even show up! So, sometimes you're
at the mercy of picking from the ones that just make the appointment.
Problem #2: "Who Can I Trust to Tell Me What I Really
Need?"
Can you believe that many roofing salesman never even get up on the roof to make an
inspection? I can't believe it either. How would they ever have a clue what hidden problems are lurking
under the shingles, flashings, vents, or fascia for that matter? I don't know.
Do you think they charge the top price, expecting to replace all those
things? Or do you think they could "lowball" the price and then hit you with "the big surprise" upcharge when
they're actually on the roof doing the work? I know that both of these things happen because in my 30+ years
of being in the roofing business, I've seen it -- and heard about it -- a lot.
Problem #3: "What Kind of Installation Will I Really
Get?"
It surprises me that when I ask homeowners if their roofer did a good job, they
respond, "I don't know -- we'll see when it rains." That's a lot of pressure wondering if your roof was
done right, and worrying about bad weather. Especially if you've had a bad experience or two with
roofers.
Having said that, we actually repair lots of roofs that are less than five (5) years
old. Sometimes, the installer can't even fix the problem, if he can be found . . . so the homeowner
calls us. We have plenty of photos in our "Pictures" section on this website that prove it.
Don't put yourself in that position.
Here's How Our System Solves These Problems and Saves You
Trouble.
It's Simple, Convenient, and Provides Verification, Too.
Unlike many roofing salesmen, I always get up on the roof and inspect every
square foot. While I'm inspecting, I'm also taking high quality digital pictures and video to show
you things you need to know to make better, more informed decisions.
It's all documented and you get to actually see it online!
Personalized Online Pictures and Video Help You See What's
Happening
I'll immediately process the pictures and video put them online where they're easy for you
to see. Then I will send a link to your email. All you have to do is click on the link, and all of
the information you need will be there. Plus, you can share the link with others; or pass it along
to friends who may also need our roofing services.
It's much easier to make smarter decisions when you're informed and not under pressure. You can review
your material in comfort, wherever and whenever you wish . . . and because I am posting your pictures and
video on "your own special web page", no large files are being transferred by email.
Your computer won't slow down to a crawl or be at risk of being infected with a virus. And, you
won't have to deal with any "High Pressure" salesman. That might be the best part of all . . .
Our "Fixed Pricing" Policy Eliminates Costly
Surprises
Detailed pricing information will be addressed by our "fixed price proposal". There will be NO
upsells, NO add-ons, NO surprises, or any other type of "monkey business". There will be NO hourly rate
charges or other variable pricing methods. If there's a risk of questionable plywood that we can't
see until we remove some shingles, we'll quote a fixed price per square foot beforehand and then completely
document the replacement with photos (after talking to you first, of course).
Please don't ever sign a contract with anyone that doesn't completely close all of the "loopholes" concerning
price. And please stay away from those "bottom feeders" that sell on low price only. There is usually a
reason that they have to cut their prices way down to get the work.
Follow Up Pictures And A Ten (10) Year No Leak
Guarantee Offer Security and Peace-Of-Mind.
OK, now that we've solved the first two problems, let's concentrate on the follow
up. Over the years many of my customers have enjoyed seeing "close ups" of their completed roofing
work. So a couple of years ago I just made before, during, and after pictures our standard
procedure. Folks really like looking at the quality of the work and verifying that all of the work was
done right, as promised.
Plus, we really don't want you to risk getting up on your roof just to have a look. Leave that to a
professional, please.
In additional to the shingle manufacturer's materials warranty, we issue you a "Ten (10) Year No Leak Guarantee"
that covers all of the labor required for us to fix unexpected leaks in the first ten years after our
installation. No questions asked and no strings attached!
Plus Limited Time Free Upgrades Totalling Up to $1,997.00 . . . Or More!
Yes, it's true; for a limited time, I'm throwing in our "Signature
Upgrades" at no additional cost. I won't be offering this forever -- so take advantage of it while you
can:
- Free "Ice and Water System" Upgrade -- Save

"I have done business with Bill for several
years and can rely on his prompt and professional repair with reasonable
prices."
"I like the fact that I can come home from work knowing my roof is
repaired, and I didn't have to do it myself. After my busy day to day schedule, I do not have
time or the desire to climb around on my roof fixing wind damaged shingles-We live in a
high-wind area with a steep pitched roof, and lose shingle tabs each year. The trick is to
repair the damaged shingles before the wood becomes exposed, wet and eventually rot.
"I have done business with Bill for several years and can rely on his prompt and professional
repair with reasonable prices. It is also pretty cool to see the before and after pictures. Thanks
man."

" What really sold me was the before, during, and
after pictures posted on the Home Restorations website"
"Bill, my new
Certainteed Horizon Roof looks great! Thanks for the professional
service.
"Your Digital Roof Estimate is a great idea. What really sold me was the
before, during, and after pictures posted on the Home Restorations website. Great way to
look at some of your completed jobs, with an added bonus of being able to see what the
shingle colors look like. I see Home Restorations is now replacing some of my neighbors
roofs. Congratulations on a great system and great roofing service. .

"The Certainteed Shingle Vent II also looks great and is
a big improvement."

". . . in fact, he was the only roofer of
several to actually go up on the roof to see what was required before providing me with an
estimate . . ."
"It was a pleasure doing business with Home
Restorations (Mr. Bill Thomas). I had two layers of roofing shingles removed and
Certainteed XT25 Shingles installed, Certainteed Shingle Vent II installed, vinyl
soffit installed, PVC covered aluminum installed on the fascia boards under the gutter, PVC
covered aluminum on the rake boards, and a chimney cap.
"Also, dealing with Home Restorations was
very convenient in that we were able to work out all of the details of the contract via
email, including the roofing photos (no extra charge), of what was required before we
actually met to sign the contract. During the course of the work we discovered a gutter
problem not related to the roofing installation and it was repaired for only the cost of
materials.
"I am extremely satisfied with the work done
by Home Restorations and highly recommend this contractor."

"I would highly recommend Bill Thomas for
any type of roofing job. He genuinely
seems to enjoy helping people solve their problems and does a terrific
job."
"Our
experience with Bill Thomas was great. We had a leaky roof that needed to be repaired, and Bill was
ready, willing, and able to do the job for us, and at a quite reasonable
price.
"In
looking for a contractor to do the job, right off the bat I was struck by the appeal of Bill’s
website that showed the details of a number of before, after, and in-progress roofing projects via
photos and annotations. This showed how various projects were completed and really gave me a good
idea of the professionalism and thoroughness of Bill’s approach to the job. That expectation was
borne out fully by the work Bill did in making the repair, and being able to see exactly what he
had done, through the documentary photos he took during the project, was most interesting and
reassuring.
"Bill was also kind enough
to do a few maintenance extras for us at no additional charge, while he was up on the roof!
We were so pleased with his work that we additionally contracted with Bill to repair our
chimney enclosure, whose wood corner pieces had rotted out. That job was also done quickly,
efficiently, and with an engineer’s attention to detail and quality.
"I would highly recommend
Bill Thomas for any type of roofing job. He genuinely seems to enjoy helping people solve their problems and
does a terrific job."

"We had four contractors look at the roof and Mr.
Thomas was the only one who gave us a detailed analysis of our roof by showing us
pictures"
" We had a roof problem that was caused by a tree. We
called Mr. Thomas to come take a look on Thursday and he managed to fit in the schedule and
fix the leaky area the following Wednesday. Most other contractors cannot do it until 4
to 6 weeks. We had four contractors look at the roof and Mr. Thomas was the only one
who gave us a detailed analysis of our roof by showing us pictures (see comment later).
Additionally, his price was significantly lower than other contractors.
"The roof looks fantastic. Mr. Thomas personally did the whole
work by himself without contracting out to other contractors. While we can't compare his work
with other companies, we can't imagine that other companies could do a better job for Mr. Thomas
was meticulous in getting things done properly. Mr. Thomas took pictures of before and after
so that we know what was done. As homeowners, this is a great service since we're not around
to see what was done.
"While replacing the roof, we thought it would be a good idea to
install Solatube Skylights in our family room. Even though it wasn't in the contract, Mr.
Thomas installed the flashings to make sure that the skylights were weather tight at no additional
charge.
"Throughout the whole process, Mr. Thomas gave us his
honest feedback. We never felt like he was trying to sell or pressure us.
"We are very happy with the work. We would highly recommend Mr.
Thomas to anyone who is looking to repair or replace his or her roof (or
gutters)."

"He left us a CD containing
pictures of the roof work before, during, and after the repairs were
made."
"Mr. Thomas was the
best. We lost roofing shingles during a heavy wind storm recently and they were calling
for rain 3 days later. Needless to say, we wanted the roof fixed before
then.
"Mr. Thomas contacted us
right away, gave an estimate, and was there to perform the work within 48 hours. The
work was awesome (even better than what was already there). He left us a CD containing
pictures of the work before, during, and after the repairs were made.
"We'll be using him for other things in the near future and would definitely
recommend him to others."

" When he sent the bill, it also included before and after pictures of what he saw
and repaired. That alone is worth the price!"
"My ridge vent blew off in
one of the recent storms. I called several places and was told they could not get to me until
the following week. In the meantime, water was pouring into my house each day it
rained, and it rained every day that week.
"Bill came the very next
day and repaired the roof . . . without my being home. We were in close phone
contact throughout the process. He kept me informed with exactly what he found and how much
it would cost to do the repairs.
"When he sent the bill, it also included before and after pictures of what he saw
and repaired. That alone is worth the price! I have never been treated with such kid gloves
and it really feels great! I highly recommend this company and will spread the word and use them
again! Thanks again, Bill."

" Far better work than I could have
expected."
"Bill Thomas was
fantastic! Far better work than I could have expected. We needed roof repairs for
a two-year old house. He got to the job quickly, but gave us a price break because we
had to wait for him to finish another job.
"When he got on the roof, he
found the builders had not properly attached a stand pipe that led to the damage, and a
potentially dangerous carbon monoxide build up in the attic -- something my wife and I had
never expected. Mr. Thomas documented the damage and repairs -- clearly showing the
missing seals on the stand pipe -- with a digital camera.
"The construction flaw is
apparently pretty common in our new neighborhood. . . and I'm passing the warning -- and a
recommendation for Mr. Thomas on to my neighbors."
