Questions roofers ask
What does it cost?
Joining is free. Terms depend on your trade and market and they're built around results, so a person at the desk walks you through them on the call. We don't publish a price sheet.
I do houses, not buildings. Is there room for me?
Yes. Every market has a rental-home roofing opening. Many property managers run portfolios of single-family rental homes and need a shingle, tile or metal roofer they can send to every house: a manager running 500 houses picks one roofer for all of them. We work with property managers, not individual homeowners.
Is this another list of names?
No. We don't sell lists or run email campaigns. We hand you a manager who agreed to meet, or a stated need in roofing.
After a hailstorm we have more work than we can handle.
That's after the storm, from whoever calls you. An exclusive opening is about the managers who pick their roofer before the storm: rental-home portfolios, HOAs and apartment owners that bid re-roofs and want a credentialed contractor on file. You tell the desk your capacity; we route to match.
Don't managers already have a roofer?
Usually. Roofing is bid every time, managers change jobs, and the primary fails on the worst day of the year. Being the backup on the list is how you become the primary.
What stops you sending my competitor?
An exclusive opening. Each market has two, commercial roofing and rental-home roofing. While one is yours, we don't send managers in your market to any other roofer for that work. Without one, a request goes to the fastest responders, never more than three.
Can I hold both openings in a market?
If you do both kinds of work and have the capacity, ask on the call. Terms are set there.
What if the manager has no job right now?
Then it's an intro: a manager who picks vendors and agreed to a conversation. The job comes later, from the list. When there's a job behind it, we tell you.
How many meetings will I get?
We won't give you a number we can't back. The desk is opening now. On the call we'll walk you through how routing works for roofing in your market.
Can I take the relationship and leave?
Yes. The managers you meet are yours. No share of jobs, no non-circumvention clause.
We're not based in DFW. Can we take a market?
Yes. Roofing companies based anywhere in Texas can. Each opening covers one North Texas market, and you're the only roofer we send managers to there for that work, so you need to be able to serve properties in that market.
Which markets are there?
North Texas is split into four markets, each covering a group of counties, with two openings each: commercial roofing and rental-home roofing. The current status of each is in the form. Larger crew? You can hold more than one market. Terms are set on the call.
We're outside Texas. Can we apply?
Yes. Enter your business ZIP. If your area isn't open yet, you can join the early list for it with the same quick questions, and we'll call to confirm before we open there.
Is OnRoster a roofing company?
No. OnRoster is a vendor desk. We are not a contractor and do not perform work.
