>> Chuck: CAN I HAVE SOME ZAFFY
TAFFY?
>>> WHEN YOU HAVE A NEW PROJECT
LIKE A NEW ROOF, YOU MAY WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU'RE SIGNING ON WITH
SOMEBODY YOU CAN TRUST AND AT A
GOOD PRICE.
WE'VE GOT A GUY, ADAM HELFMAN OF
HIREITDONE.COM.
HOW WE CAN USE A TEN-POINT
SCREENING PROCESS TO FIND THE
RIGHT CONTRACTOR.
♪
♪♪
>> ROOFING IS THE HOTTEST HOME
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THIS YEAR.
AND WE GET THOUSANDS OF VISITORS
EVERY WEEK TO HIREITDONE.COM
REQUESTING A NEW ROOF.
HOW DO YOU FIND GOOD ROOFERS?
WE'LL SHARE WITH YOU THE
CRITERIA TO QUALIFY WITH
HIREITDONE.COM.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
WE'RE AT RAP ROOFING, THEY'RE
A PRE-SCREENED CONTRACTOR.
AND WE'LL SHOW YOU THE TEN-POINT
SCREENING PROCESS.
THAT MEANS YOU GET THE BEST ROOF
AND THE BEST PRICE.
TH FIRST THING WE LOOK AT IS
CONTRACTOR STABILITY.
AND HERE'S WHAT THAT MEANS.
VALID LICENSE, INSURANCE, WE
CHECK FOR BANKRUPTCIES, LIENS,
JUDGMENTS AND WE DO A CREDIT
REVIEW.
NEXT COMES EXPERIENCE.
A CONTRACTOR MUST BE IN BUSINESS
AT LEAST THREE YEARS UNDER THE
SAME NAME.
NUMBER THREE, PROFESSIONAL
AFFILIATIONS.
LET ME SHOW YOU.
ALL HIRE IT DONE CONTRACTORS ARE
REQUIRED TO BE CERTIFIED BY A
SINGLE MANUFACTURER.
>> EVERY YEAR, THEY HAVE TO
RENEW THEIR CERTIFICATIONS.
>> AND NUMBER FOUR CRITERIA IS
THE CODE OF ETHICS, AND THAT
SAYS NO HIGH-PRESSURE SALES, SO
YOU CAN BUY A ROOF WHEN YOU'RE
READY.
THE NEXT TWO, ARE PROFESSIONAL
REFERENCES AND HOMEOWNER
REFERENCES.
WE CALL BOTH OF THEM AND VERIFY
IT FOR YOU, SO WE DO ALL THE
HOMEWORK.
AND NUMBER SEVEN IS THE ON-SITE
EVALUATION.
WE COME OUT AND VISIT AN ACTIVE
JOB SITE.
THE LAST THREE ITEMS ARE A
WRITTEN WARRANTY, DOCUMENTED
EMPLOYEE SCANNERS AND FINANCING.
WE ASSEMBLE IT FOR YOU SO YOU
YOU GET A HASSLE-FREE HOME
IMPROVEMENT.
>> Chuck: WITH ALL THAT GETTING
AROUND, UP, DOWN, ALL AROUND,
HE'S GOT A BIG GIVEAWAY TO TALK
ABOUT IN A MINUTE.
FIRST, A FEW QUESTIONS.
GOOD MORNING!
>> GOOD MORNING TO YOU!
>> Chuck: WE WANNA TALK ABOUT
THIS IDEA OF WHAT MAKES BUYING A
ROOF FROM HIRE IT DONE DIFFERENT
FROM OTHER CONTRACTORS?
>> HOMEOWNERS HAVE TWO FEARS:
THEY NEVER WANNA OVERPAY AND
DON'T WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN GETTING A
PRICE FOR A ROOF, AND YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU GET WINDS ON A HOUSE
FOR ANY KIND OF HOME
IMPROVEMENT, YOU'VE BEEN
PROGRAMMED TO GET THREE BIDS OR
FOUR.
SO WHAT WE WANNA DO IS LEVEL THE
PLAYING FIELD FOR HOMEOWNERS.
SO WE TAKE A SATELLITE PHOTO AND
IT TELLS US WITH 99% ACCURACY
HOW MANY SHINGLES YOU HAVE.
SO WE SEND IT TO THE HOMEOWNER.
AND THE HOMEOWNER KNOWS.
AND NOW THEY'RE GETTING QUOTES
FROM THREE OR FOUR ROOFS.
>> Chuck: LIKE A TOM CRUISE
MOVIE.
>> IT DRIVES THE PRICE DOWN AND
THE HOMEOWNER WINS.
THAT'S THE BEST PART.
AND THEY CAN BE ASSURED THAT THE
CONTRACTOR WHO IS BIDDING AND
COMPETING, LICENSED, INSURED,
AND PAST OUR TEN-POINT
PRE-SCREENING, AND THAT'S THE
PRICELESS PART OF HIRE IT DONE.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO
SUCCESSFUL IN THE ROOFING
CATEGORY, AMONGST OTHERS.
>> Chuck: SOME HOMEOWNERS HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT HIRING A
CONTRACTOR AND THE LIST COULD BE
LONG.
BUT WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN
SHORTEN IT UP.
>> THE ROOF IS THE BIGGEST PART
OF YOUR HOUSE, COVERS THE ENTIRE
STRUCTURE.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE A
DEPOSIT TO A ROOFER AND HAVE HIM
TAKE OFF AND NEVER SHOW UP.
OR THE FIRST RAIN COMES AND
WATER IS COMING THROUGH THE
LIGHT FIXTURE.
THAT A NO-NO!
WE ENSURE THAT OUR CONTRACTORS
AR CERTIFIED BY THE
MANUFACTURER WHICH MAKES THEM
FOLLOW THE STRIC GUIDELINES SO
THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE ROOF IS
VALID.
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE HIRE IT
DONE CONTRACTORS DON'T TAKE A
DEPOSIT.
YOU PAY WHEN THE JOB IS DONE.
>> Chuck: THAT'S GOOD STUFF!
>> AND YOU GET THE HIRE IT DONE
BACK-UP.
>> Chuck: ADAM MAY BE ON YOUR
ROOF.
>> I LIKE DOING THAT.
>> Chuck: GO TO HIS WEBSITE AND
REGISTER AND NOW WE WANNA TALK
ABOUT THIS REALLY BIG GIVEAWAY,

ABOUT WHO COULD GET THIS NEW
ROOF.
>> WE'VE TEAMED UP WITH ONE OF

VETERAN.
