Who’s The Guest?
Slade Roofing began when Tyler Slade, an insurance agency owner, became frustrated with contractors taking advantage of clients, taking clients into filing claims that they never should have filed, failing to show up on time, billing for more than they contracted, and taking longer on jobs than they estimated. The list of frustrations could go on. There had to be a better way. He reflected on his own experience as a roofer. It would be much better if the contractors were professional, understood the mechanics of insurance policies, and communicated effectively. Slade Roofing was born. Our philosophy is “Under-promise, over-deliver.” We replaced the “con” in construction with professionalism. You are going to love Slade Roofing.
