    Yes this is accurate , I worked there for about 6 months and could not handle the arrogance of management and the crazy dishonesty. They tried to make people memorize a sales pitch like it was their cults bible. I am happy to say that I left and am now doing better than ever!!, with an honest company. Not roofing

      @@starastronomer I’m sure they sell enough across the country to still be in business but not enough to be successful as a rep. They talk a real big game when you are onboarding but it’s all bs. I’m not some new kid. I have been in sales my whole life ,so I moved on to another company in the home improvement business and I’m doing really well. Unfortunately their are a lot of people that can get taken advantage of out there but that’s not the way I have had success and it never will be.

    WOW!!!! I have a friend who wanted a new roof put on his home before he retired. He contacted Erie and got a price for a metal roof. This friend really wanted to put a metal roof on the home and had told me it would help raise his home value when he went to sell it and move into a retirement community in the next 8-10 years. He got his quote and was shocked. For a 2800sq ft roof, Erie wanted $49,270,65.. He got a local company to put on a shingle roof for $7,873.00 and said it has a 25-year warranty. Shop around people!

It will lower the value of a sale if your roof was bad. I was told that my property tax would NOT increase for the reason a house has to have a roof. What you spend is up to each home owner. I just wanted to see what he would say.

    I am shocked about how much people pay for roof replacement (especially in areas of the country where it is cheaper to live). I live in an expensive area of the country, often I cannot get service people to do small jobs (including snow plowing of driveway, no matter how much money I offer). But when I got an estimate for a full roof replacment (including wood) for a 3 bedroom house (1 Level house for living space, but full attic/ basement). The cost was $5700 (this was 6 years ago). The roof has really held up during major rain/wind storms. I just had to contact multiple roofing companies and get quotes (the highest quote was $9000). Please get at least 4 or 5 quotes and do your research (read online reviews before hiring a roofing company). But don't not go with a roofing company just because a few bad reveiews either (sometimes competitors put down fake bad reveiews, or some companies hire companies in Asia to put down fake positive reviews, just use commen sense when reading online reviews is what I am saying, read the actually reviews carefully, look for patterns/dates and location/name of the reviewers).

    I got a ridiculous quote from Erie also, $52k, and then they called two times a day for the next month, trying to close me. I will never do business with that company. However, let's put this in perspective. A 26 gauge metal roof Materials costs around $450 a square, whereas Corning shingles cost $91 a square. With blending the two together, I could see a potential material cost of $525. So that's $2500 for 28 squares of shingles and $14,700 for 28 squares of metal shingles. Then, $10,000 for labor, so $12,500 for the shingle roof and $24,700 for the metal roof should be the cost. Anything more than that, and I feel like you are being taken to the cleaners! And then drop that by 20% if you find a desperate roofer.

I could replace my 30 year shingles 5 times for that cost. That would be 150 years worth of roofing. Since no one lives to be anywhere near that old, you will never see any type of savings from that kinda pricing. And thats IF the metal roof they install will last 150 years. Bad return on investment.

    I have talked to them several times and they can’t give you any idea over the phone. My roof is only 22 squares. I figured it was outrageous if they wouldn’t give me any idea of price when I can call any roofer and tell them it’s 22 squares and get a estimate over the phone. Everyone charges by the square it’s really simple math. Going off of this video and comments my they would want around $28,000 for the fiberglass shingles. I figure they have some type of low monthly finance option at 20% interest to go along with there scam

    I made the mistake of clicking one of their ads and entering my phone number. Their ad said 'affordable' and implied that it would be cheaper or competitive with traditional asphalt roof, so I thought why not let them give me their price. What a waste of time. Guy did a thorough inspection, although I don't know why b/c he has to know the odds of closing a deal are slim, so why waste so much time? But I guess that is part of their pitch... studies show the more time you spend... blah blah blah. Then instead of just giving us a price, he starts going thru his sales pitch (which is a big turn off and red flag). After listening to all the nonsense and patiently waiting for the end of the pitch.. and thus the pricing, for 29sq metal ($78k-$110k), or fiberglass ($37k-$49k). Just wow. Who is paying these prices? Thanks for sharing and especially the part about what it ended up costing you!

    40 squares. Quoted me $123k for metal and $81K for fiberglass. Felt like a Kirby salesman was trying to get me to buy a roof. About 4.5 hours of my life wasted. Would have been longer but I cut him short on his pitch.

  • @BearSesameLLCAllentown
    @BearSesameLLCAllentown 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well my measurement was only 4.5Squares and back in 2020 the quote was 45k for me and no metal discount was offered but they were offering certain houses to possibly be given a free roof for their portfolio work. I remind you it's not a steep roof on a rancher home. 2 valleys is all on an addition of about 198²ft of space. I walk on it a lot since I install roofs professionally and Seamless gutters. So my measurements are accurate. But if your saying you are quoted 59k at 27.5 Square and discounted to 49k than how in the heck was I quoted 45k! The guy walked on my roof and started the hyper Shingle stretch test and peeled it completely back and leaned back and said that the Shingle was no good. I said.... how come it didn't break in to with your 250lb #$% leaning and stretching my Shingle back to show me you can pull my Shingle up after your crow barred it off the seal? Mind you that I am a roofer 20 yrs and he didn't even know what life is being he was only 24yrs old and fresh out of college. Mind you that he never lifted a tool till than. And so when he slid me the paper and said 45k I immediately said why would I and he said it's a no hassle price! I said for one you don't stretch shingles on a property the way you did. First if I get a leak it's your fault. Second if I was at 4.5 square than I could find a contractor at 450-250 a square. Lastly I said I could do it myself for $300 bucks and my left over materials in my shed and he said no way. Till today my crew can get it done for $500 for me as I would pay my crew their time and wage to get it done paying each crew $88/square. Why would I over improve for materials guaranteed to 50 years? His quote was 140yr lifetime warranty. Did he not know I read everything before he arrived? I'm at $10,000 per square installation...I COULD MAKE MY OWN METAL SHINGLE ROOF.... BUT WITH THEIR FAKE AIR GAP FOIL WRAP TOPPED IT ALL! WHY WOULD THE SUN REFLECT OFF THE WRAP WHEN IT WOULD HAVE AN AIR GAP BETWEEN EACH OF THE SHINGLES AND ACT AS THE AIR GAP INSULATOR? LIES AND MORE LIES. I WOULDNT PAY FOR THIS MATERIAL AND I WOULDNT CARE FOR A RUSTING SHINGLE WHEN I MYSELF A. STUDYING ALUMINUM ROOF TILES. LET ALONE I WOULD PAY $10000 A SQUARE FOR A STAINLESS STEEL STANDING ROOF. PUT YOUR MONEY TO USE THESE SALESMEN ARE LIARS FOR CROOKS

    No more than what you have shown of the product, I wouldn't even say its a nice system. The advertisement said they install during the winter...Well that is a cooler time of year for roofing work for sure. But from the looks of the shingle you are showing I'd bet if you stepped on it on a hot day the aggregate material would come loose and smear. Heck, your boot would probably slide across it leaving an unsightly smudge. Doesn't look very durable to me. I mean, what is holding that stuff on the metal?

I could by a rental house for that price that would generate passive income. Then he added all the discounts and got it down to $63,349 on 4/6/2024. They do try to get you to lock something in on that day. He also explained that waiting to lock it in, you can figure an inflation hike on the price. If I waited till January, it could be 20k more. I was only guarantied that price till Monday and today is Saturday. The product and everything they offer is of good quality. I am definitely not saying anything negative about the product. He also guaranteed a lifetime warranty. Stated the roof would out last the house. I am definitely going to shop around though.

All the above comments are real. We were given a sheet of paper, I wouldn't call it a document that I was supposed to take a picture of for my records. No brochure or business cards were displayed. Our figure was 83,057 for 3200 sf of roofing space. Full high pressure for the last 20 minutes. We were told that a district manager could be called for a negotiated price ONLY if we signed a contract that day. They did offer a financing plan which may have been reasonable. The high pressure and business tactics did not go well with my wife. If they needed to return to fulfill a contract we would lose the supposed discounted pricing.Having prepared estimates for clients for 41 years, this is no way to buoy up a customers perception.
