RoofBids
Joe Casalese is the Chief Connections Officer and founder of Roofbids. This Central Florida company is changing the roofing business with a new digital platform that connects homeowners with trusted, vetted roofing contractors. Roofbids will launch in May and aims to eliminate the home improvement and roofing industries. It starts in Central Florida and plans to expand into the Tampa and Jacksonville areas within one year. The platform addresses significant industry pain points, including warranty issues and poor satisfaction ratings, and matches clients with contractors within 48 hours. Roofbids was born out of a clear need: “The roofing industry is a mess and has one of the lowest satisfaction ratings for all home improvement sectors.” Unlike platforms that flood homeowners with endless bids, Roofbids limits contractor access and promises “No aggressive sales pitches. Just a simple process.”Roof Pain Points
Roof projects can be financially painful, and the top consumers fear being scammed. 80% of new roof contractors go out of business within three years, leaving their customers with no warranty recourse. 50% of all roof projects will have some workmanship issue that needs to be addressed, which is where Roofbids is filling the gap between poor service and customer satisfaction. RoofBids helps homeowners navigate this world through its online platform that gives clients access to the most trusted roof contractors in their local area for bids and quotes. The contractors are thoroughly vetted through a proprietary 20-point application and review process and are limited so that clients do not get inundated with random contractors and pitches.
