When storms hit…
I was knocking on doors August 2nd after a big storm in Euless/Bedford, and after a few hours decided to get lunch and my car inspected so I could change my registration to Texas. The owner of the shop was hilarious, and when I was paying, he said “Priority Roofing? Hey, give me your card. If you don’t hear from me by Friday, come in and you can inspect my houses. I have a few rentals in Euless.”
I figured he had 3-4 and I’d get 2 approved.
I didn’t hear from him, so I went back that Friday. He tells me he has 8 properties! I inspect and file claims for all of them; of the 8, 1 had a newer roof so he decided to withdraw the claim, but I got the other 7 approved. You can see from the last pictures how bad the roof was, and from the first pictures how great it looks now. It’s easy to be happy with work when you have a great product to backup your claims.
This guy is great. He took a chance on me, and while I’m not going to make much of anything on these as a whole (may even lose), it’s worth it because of the person trusting in me and what the future will hold because of it. He hit me with a great insight yesterday too:
“If you’re honest in business, it will take you longer to make money. But, you will grow consistently; and in 10-15 years you won’t know where it’s coming from because people will trust and promote you to everyone. I started slow, but put my 4 kids through college with 0 debt because I never was a thief. Karma will get you, being a thief will destroy you, but I could tell you were a good person and I only deal with people I trust. Keep it up. Always be honest.”
I love my job and helping others. If you or anyone you know needs someone to take a look at your home, I’d love the chance to earn your business!
