We didn't make the roof cheaper. We removed the expensive way roofs are sold.

The traditional home improvement industry relies on layers of middlemen, aggressive sales tactics and bloated marketing budgets. We built a platform that connects you straight to the manufacturer and to the crew you pick yourself — and charges one fee for it, printed on every price you see.

Illustrative figures for a similar roof. Same products, the same crews, without the retail layers. Your own price is on the estimate, built from your actual home.
