Roof EGR was built to make one of the bigger decisions you make about your home a little easier.
We provide local roofing information, property-based estimates, and practical guidance to help East Grand Rapids homeowners understand their options before talking with a contractor.
Roof EGR may be supported by a preferred local roofing sponsor. That support helps us operate the site and gives homeowners an easy way to connect with a local roofer when they’re ready.
But there are some important ground rules.
The estimate is yours — not the sponsor’s
Your information isn’t shopped around
If you decide you’d like an inspection or actual roofing proposal, you can choose to connect with our preferred roofer.
We don’t take your information and sell it to a list of roofing contractors.
That means requesting help through Roof EGR isn’t intended to result in calls and texts from a bunch of companies competing for your business.
You decide when you’re ready to talk
Use Roof EGR to research your roof, understand likely costs, and get a better sense of the project.
What sponsorship supports
Sponsor support helps pay for things such as maintaining Roof EGR, keeping local roofing and permit information current, and operating and improving the estimator.
It can also provide homeowners with a direct path to a local roofing professional without turning Roof EGR into a contractor marketplace.
What sponsorship doesn’t influence
Sponsorship doesn’t change our estimates, recommendations, or the information we provide to homeowners.
We’ll always be clear about what comes from Roof EGR and what comes from the roofer.
A better starting point for homeowners
Roofing is expensive, complicated, and something most people don’t shop for very often.
Roof EGR is designed to help you go into that process better informed — with a sense of your roof, your likely costs, the questions worth asking, and an option for what to do next.
Learn first. Decide for yourself. Talk to a roofer when you’re ready.
When you’re ready for someone to actually look at the roof, you can request an inspection or quote from the preferred roofer.
The choice to make that connection is yours.
A sponsor does not get to change the Roof EGR estimator, lower or raise your estimated price range, favor a particular roofing material, or hide limitations in the information we provide.
Our goal is to give you a useful starting point for making your own decision.
