Great company to work with!
One of the most common questions I heard working in wholesale for years was this:
"Do you know what colour shingles these are?"
Usually it was a homeowner or a contractor who had bought an existing house.
Now they wanted to:
• Build a shed
• Add a garage
• Do an addition
• Repair part of the roof or siding
And the problem was simple…
Nobody knew what materials were originally used.
No shingle brand.
No colour name.
No siding information.
So people would show up at the counter with a piece of shingle in their hand or a picture on their phone trying to match something that might be 10–15 years old.
Sometimes the colour was discontinued.
Sometimes the brand wasn’t even sold anymore.
And what should have been a simple repair turns into a guessing game.
That’s exactly why I asked Eris to create a simple Home Maintenance Information Sheet.
It’s something every homeowner should have.
Print it off.
Fill it out once.
And keep it somewhere easy to find like:
• Behind a kitchen cabinet door
• In the furnace room
• In the garage
• In the utility room
Write down things like:
✔ Roofing brand and colour
✔ Contractors you've used
✔ Service companies
Years from now when something needs fixing, you won’t be guessing, or the next homeowner will know who did what in your home.
You’ll know exactly what was used and who to call.
Simple idea. Big time saver.
If you’d like a copy of the sheet, just send me a message and we’ll share it.
