Shingle roof with a dormer window against the Atlanta skyline at dusk

A new kind of roofing company

One call.Three roofing bids, side by side.

You need a new roof. You don’t need to chase contractors, sit through sales visits, or compare three quotes that were never written the same way. We bring three vetted roofing companies to your house, hold all of them to one scope, and hand you the three bids themselves — companies named, nothing marked up — laid out good, better and best so they actually compare.

Three bids, one scope

Every company prices the same work, so the numbers mean something.

Nothing marked up

The contractor’s own bid at the contractor’s own price. We add nothing.

Your details stay here

We never sell your information. Nobody you didn’t pick gets your number.

They see it themselves

All three get on your roof — and we are on site when they do.

Why this exists

Getting a roof replaced shouldn’t be a part-time job

A ridge is the line where two roof planes meet. That is the job — standing between you and three roofers, working for your side of it. Because a roof is one of the largest cheques a homeowner writes, and the buying process is built entirely around the seller.

Doing it yourself

The usual way

  • You make the calls, book the appointments, and sit through every sales visit yourself.
  • If it is an insurance claim, you are the one on the phone with the carrier, arguing a scope you did not write.
  • Each company decides its own scope, so one quotes a tear-off and another quotes a layover. The numbers are not comparable and nobody says so.
  • Your number is in every one of their systems now. The follow-up calls start that evening.
  • The cheapest bid is cheapest for a reason, and the reason is never written down.
  • Warranty terms buried in a PDF you will never find again.
  • “That price is good through today.”

Going through us

What we do instead

  • One email. We book the visits, meet every company on site, and handle the conversations.
  • Insurance claim? A licensed public adjuster we work with takes the carrier off your hands entirely.
  • All three quote the same scope, with the same or equivalent products, in the same format.
  • You get the bids themselves — company names, letterhead, licence numbers. Nothing re-typed, nothing redacted, nothing marked up.
  • Your details never leave us. Nobody gets your number unless you pick them.
  • Each bid is annotated: what it includes, what it leaves out, and why it costs what it costs.
  • Warranty, licence status and public ratings attached to every option.
  • No deadline. The package is yours to sit on, to show your own roofer, or to walk away from.

How it works

Four steps, and three of them are ours

Your part is the first one and the fourth one. We do the middle, and we are standing on the roof for it.

Tell us about the roof

Age, what you’re seeing, and whether insurance is involved. A couple of minutes by email — no sales call to book.

All three walk the roof

Each company puts its own eyes on your house — we are on site for every visit, holding all of them to the same good / better / best scope.

Your bid package

Three bids from three vetted companies — good, better, best — with materials, warranties, ratings and licence status attached to each.

You choose. We run it.

We schedule the job, hold the contractor to the scope you signed, and walk the finished roof with you before anyone gets paid.

Three options, not one price

Good, better, best — and what separates them

The three tiers are written before anyone quotes, and every company prices against the same document using the same products or their direct equivalents. So when two numbers differ, it is the company that differs — not what you are getting for the money. What each tier contains depends on your house; this is the shape of it.

Option one

Good

The sound, code-compliant roof. Solves the problem without extras.

  • Architectural shingles, standard manufacturer line
  • Full tear-off, decking repaired where soft
  • Synthetic underlayment
  • Standard manufacturer material warranty
  • Shorter workmanship warranty
Usually our recommendation

Option two

Better

Where the money starts buying longevity rather than appearance.

  • Upgraded shingle line, heavier mat
  • Ridge ventilation sized to the attic, not to code minimum
  • New flashing and pipe boots rather than reused
  • Ice-and-water membrane in valleys and around penetrations
  • Longer workmanship warranty

Option three

Best

Built to outlast the mortgage, and specified to the house.

  • Premium, designer or standing-seam metal systems
  • Complete flashing replacement including chimney and wall transitions
  • Full manufacturer system installed to earn the enhanced warranty
  • Gutters and guards sized to the roof’s actual runoff
  • Longest workmanship warranty available

The deliverable

What every bid in the package shows

You get the bids themselves, with the companies named on them — and alongside each one, the same set of facts pulled out in the same order so the three can be read against each other.

  • The bids themselves, companies namedNot our summary of them. The actual documents as they were handed to us — letterhead, company name, licence number, signature line. Nothing re-typed, nothing redacted.
  • The contractor’s price, unalteredWe do not mark bids up, round them up, or add a line of our own. If you want to know what our commission is on any of the three, ask and we will tell you.
  • Line-item scopeTear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, gutters and disposal — broken out the same way on all three so you can read across.
  • Materials named, not describedManufacturer and product line in writing. “Architectural shingle” covers a forty-year spread in quality; a product name does not.
  • Both warranties, kept separateWhat the manufacturer covers and what the contractor covers are different promises with different lifespans. We list them apart.
  • Licence and insurance statusGeorgia licence number and certificates of insurance, verified on the date the bid was written — and the date is on the page.
  • Public ratings, with the date we pulled themReview scores and counts from each company’s own public profiles. Not testimonials we selected — the whole number, as it stood that day.
  • Start window and crew sizeHow soon they can begin, how many people are coming, and how long your roof will be open to the weather.
  • What this bid does not includeRotten decking beyond an allowance, chimney masonry, skylight replacement, permit fees, and the ceiling drywall a leak ruined. The part nobody writes down until the invoice — see what a roof bid leaves out.
  • A plain-English read from usOne paragraph per bid on where it is strong, where it is thin, and who it suits. We have an opinion and we put it in writing. Want a fourth number? Hand the scope to your own roofer and have them price the same thing.

After the roof

The parts a roofing bid doesn’t cover

Two jobs fall outside every roofing scope, and homeowners usually find that out at the worst moment — once the roof is on and the invoice is settled.

The first is the ceiling. A leak that ran for a season leaves stained, sagging drywall, and no roofing crew is coming inside to cut it out, tape it, texture it to match and repaint. That is a different trade, and a roofing bid will not include it.

The second is soffit and fascia. Rotted board behind the gutter line is carpentry rather than roofing. Some crews skip it, some sub it out and mark it up, and almost none of them put it in writing before the tear-off starts — which is exactly why our bids list it as an exclusion rather than letting it surface as a change order.

We send both to Your Handyman Atlanta.

Disclosure

Your Handyman Atlanta is run by the same people as Atlanta Ridge Roofing. We would rather tell you that here than have you work it out later — it is the same reason we tell you how our commission works and who the public adjuster is. Use them or use anyone else; your bid package does not change either way.

Drywall repair after a leak Cut out the ruined board, replace it, tape, texture to match the rest of the ceiling, and repaint — so the room stops advertising where the water came in.
Soffit & fascia repair Rotted fascia behind the gutters, failed or missing soffit panels, and the blocked ventilation that lets an attic cook the new roof from underneath.

No catch, stated plainly

How we get paid

The roofing companies pay us, not you. And it does not make your roof more expensive.

We bring these companies repeat work they didn’t have to buy leads for and didn’t have to chase. The visit is booked, the scope is already written, and the homeowner is serious. That is worth a commission to them, so they pay one — out of the job, at a volume rate.

You are quoted retail: the price that company would quote if you rang them yourself. We do not mark the bid up, and we do not add a line of our own to it. The commission comes off the contractor’s side of the job, not yours.

And you see the bids themselves — the real documents, with the companies named on them. You could ring any of the three directly off the letterhead. We would rather you could, because a bid you are not allowed to verify is not worth much. If you want to know what our commission is on a specific one, ask and we will tell you.

That commission is the only money we make on a roof. The public adjuster we work with on insurance claims sits outside it entirely — we are not paid for sending you to them, and we do not pay them for sending you to us.

The useful part of this arrangement, for you, is the leverage. A roofer has one chance to disappoint a homeowner and no particular consequence for doing it. Disappointing us costs them the next ten jobs. We are the ones who have to make the warranty call, and they know it.

Where the money goes

  1. You sign with the company you pickedThe contract is between you and them, at the price written on their bid. We are not a party to it and we never hold your money.
  2. The work is done by that licensed contractorThey hold the licence, pull the permit, and carry the insurance for the job.
  3. Our commission comes out of the contract valuePaid on the contractor’s side of the job, not added to your side of it.
  4. We oversee it and hold them to our standardsThrough the bid process, the install and the walkthrough — and afterwards, if the warranty is ever needed. You call us, not a call centre.

The standard

How a roofer gets into the package

We only put three companies in front of you, so which three matters more than anything else on this page.

Paper checked, not assumed

Georgia licence and current certificates of insurance pulled at the time the bid is written. Lapsed general liability or workers’ compensation and the bid does not go in the package — whatever the price.

Accountable to us, not just to you

Your contract is with them, but their next ten jobs come through us. They want those more than they want to win an argument over this one — which is leverage a one-time customer simply does not have, and it is the real product here.

Dropped when they slip

A missed warranty callback, a scope quietly walked back, nails left in the lawn. One homeowner can leave a review; we can stop sending work. The list changes when it needs to.

Where we work

Across Greater Atlanta

Our roofer network covers the metro and the surrounding counties. Pick your city for what the housing stock there actually needs, who issues the permit, and what to watch for in a bid locally.

Don’t see your town? Send us a message — if we have three good companies covering it, we’ll say so. If we don’t, we’ll say that too.

Fair questions

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one, but you should not take that on faith. Here are the questions we get asked most.

Who actually looks at my roof?

All three of them. We do not inspect it ourselves and ask the others to quote off our notes — each company surveys the roof with its own crew, because the one doing the work should be the one who measured it.

We are on site for those visits. We set the scope beforehand, we are there while they look, and we make sure all three leave pricing the same job.

Do I see the actual bids?

Yes — the real documents, exactly as the contractors handed them to us. Company name, letterhead, licence number, signature line, all of it. We do not re-type them into our own format, we do not black out who wrote them, and we do not change a number on them.

You will know which company quoted what before you decide anything, and you could pick up the phone and call any of the three yourself. We would rather you could.

Who do I sign with, and who do I pay?

The roofing company. The contract for the work is between you and the contractor you picked, and you pay them directly — we never hold your money and we are not a party to the agreement.

That matters for more than tidiness. They are the ones licensed to do the work, so they are the ones who pull the permit, carry the insurance, and owe you the warranty. Routing the money through us would not add anything except a middleman with none of those obligations.

What we do is run the bid process, set the scope all three price against, and hold whoever you choose to our standards once the work starts.

What does this cost me?

Nothing paid to us. The roofing companies in our network pay us a commission out of the job, the way a volume account works anywhere else.

We do not mark anything up. The price on the bid is the contractor's own price, written by the contractor, and it is the same number you would be quoted calling them yourself. Nothing is added on our side.

If you want to know what our commission is on a particular bid, ask and we will tell you.

Is this the same as HomeAdvisor or Angi?

No. Those services sell your contact details to contractors, who then compete for you by phone. You fill in one form and 20 companies are blowing up your phone.

We never sell or share your information. One visit from each company, three bids written to one scope, and one person to deal with — us.

Do I have to hire one of your three?

No. The package is yours. Take it to a roofer you already know, use it to negotiate, or sit on it for a year. There is no fee and no obligation either way.

How are the three companies chosen?

Georgia licence and certificates of insurance pulled and checked at the time the bid is written, not taken on trust. Public ratings and review history reviewed. And a track record with us on previous jobs.

We give these companies repeat work, which is the leverage a one-time customer does not have. When a warranty call needs answering after the cheque has cleared, we are the one making it.

Can I get a fourth quote from my own roofer?

Yes, and we would rather you did if there is someone you already trust. We will send you the bid package so you can hand them the scope — the same good, better and best specification the other three priced, down to the products.

That is the only way a fourth number means anything. A quote written to a different scope is not a cheaper bid, it is a different roof, and comparing the two on price alone is how people end up with a layover instead of a tear-off.

What about an insurance claim?

You should not have to argue with your insurance company about a roof you did not damage. If the roof is a claim, we bring in one of the public adjusters we work with — licensed, independent, and working for you rather than for the carrier. The filing, the paperwork and the carrier's adjuster meeting are theirs to handle, not yours.

In parallel, the three bids are written to a scope that covers ridge, flashing, vents and gutters rather than field shingles alone, which is where under-written claims quietly lose money.

A public adjuster is paid a percentage of what the claim settles for, agreed with you in writing before they start any work. No money moves between them and us in either direction — we are not paid for the referral and we do not pay for it. Nobody standing in this has a financial reason to inflate your claim, which is the usual problem with a contractor who brings his own adjuster.

What happens if something goes wrong after the roof is on?

You call us. We hold the relationship with the contractor and the record of what was agreed, so you are not the one chasing a company that has already been paid.

Do you work on commercial buildings?

Yes, though the process is slower — commercial scopes vary more, so expect a longer window to get three genuinely comparable bids back.
