[@usonfire1016]

Van you are an unicorn in the material supply industry. I was a roofer contractor for 10 years in my earlier life but moved on to another profession. What you are doing is making an honest dollar without choking the contractors. Brilliant business plan. Keep growing and never change. God bless you man !!!

[@eag8999]

More guys should drop the big supplier chains. My local distributors are 10-15% cheaper than any of the big 3 and their felt and nails are close to this guy’s prices.

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Love seeing it

[@lcgoonsquad7650]

This is the type of guy/company I want to do business with. He doesnt raise the prices because his end goal is to take all the big name companies customers. This guy is the American Dream!

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Well said. This is the threat to ABC supplies and Beacons today. Happy to see this.

[@ryanlexander7661]

You want to do business with a second grade , non warranted product and pass this to your customers? And no, it is not a threat to ABC. ABC puts on 1 of every 3 roofs in the entire country, and sell to roofers that don't want to put seconds on homes.

[@jcmoye1]

I couldn’t put seconds on my customers roof 😂

[@user-vr2ho1kf8n]

You wouldn’t know if you did…

[@rrob1399]

I’m sure your would know if by from a distributor.

[@renegaderoofingco.7972]

Thank you for this video AND your honesty and passion for the industry. I really appreciate you. I will be contacting this supplier for synthetic underlayment.

[@DQ-su6qf]

I stopped using GAF about 11 years ago when GAF offered $300 for a 40 year guaranteed roof that totally wore out after about 13 years..

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

What do you use now?

[@davidhoisington5510]

Great interview. Can’t wait to see how this changes the industry in years to come. After meeting you two at Van Boxel, we have since placed an order and changed our mindset on purchasing from the big suppliers. Thank you!

[@user-uf1zd2cx8p]

Great video! is the ice and water shield ok for metal roofing? NJ

[@mos8541]

that information about Georgia flooring NEEDS TO GET OUT... i had no idea, please put this out there! thanks! ... SFMF

[@hillmaster72]

@ 35:58 why did you cut him off when talking about set margins? What did you not want him to say? Amazing video BTW

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Not at all, just weird cut, I said quietly: “keep it about main business” didn’t want to cover floors and cabinets they sell as well, wanted to focus more on roofing industry. That’s all, nothing to hide, we were both as transparent as we could be

[@johmu5466]

Yes to direct-buy from manufacturers: AND to a - LIST - of manufacturers and any information on materials-volume and or need to purchase related-roofing-components requirements, (and shipping-process-info or limitations/conditions), would be an EXCELLENT start to getting more folks buying direct from manufacturers (or from honest value providing suppliers like Van Boxel - with same info)... I’m in Western NY and finding it hard to buy Atlas and Malarky through existing channels.

[@davidsaitta6351]

Very good interview !!

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Thank you!

[@gen-X-trader]

Needs to be a class action on shingle warranties. They punt to home owners insurance. In any other business if you make bad products, you don't cover them, you get sued. I looked at my local certainteed distributor. Pages of one star reviews from people who add shingles fail and were denied warranties. Scams

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

100% agreed. And they had class actions.

[@bayoustateroofing5733]

Wait, how can you buy direct from a manufacturer? Do a video about that.

[@forttexmetalsandroofing4563]

Good Content Dimitry! 👌

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Thank you

[@bassamzahran9766]

it would be helpful to have a video explaining how to buy direct from manufacturer. Im a first year company and the price increases have been pretty crazy!

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Will make more content!

[@ProPerformanceRoofing]

Yes please Dmitry please make a vid on that.

[@BucaneerBri]

I wonder how hard it is to get materials approved for Florida bldg code?

[@peterolson5454]

Love your content, Dmitry. I have learned so much about roofing from you…I really appreciate you. Maybe some day we can talk about CrossFit, and why, after owning my own box in La Crosse, I left that style of training. Would love to get together some day. What’s up with the weird cut @ 36:00?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Let’s connect soon

[@peterolson5454]

Would absolutely love to. I’d be happy to make the trip to Minneapolis. You have taught me so much about roofing…it would be a thrill to discuss fitness with you. I’m confident I could teach you a thing or two that would blow your mind. Thank you for all you do.

[@ciroplata9233]

PLACING ORDERS WITH YOU GUYS! im about to stack up for next year!! IF WE ALL UNITE WE CAN FORCE THESE SUPLIERS AND MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE FAIR PRICES.. 100% PLUS PRICE INCREASE IN A YEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS.

[@bikeracerdude]

Interesting advertisement.

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Problem solving

[@bayoustateroofing5733]

Wow this guy just told the truth.

[@julianbautista2666]

We will contact the supplier for underlayment and for nails

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

I wish for a direct sales, Titanium UDL 30 surface, similar thickness product.

[@johnnewton4659]

23:20 you can tell he didn’t believe what he was saying.

[@WeFindSimpleSolutions]

Accessories are high here, I definitely want some synthetic paper with our logos

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Reach out to them!

[@charroruiz2338]

Looks like Dan Tinker gave Dimitry the boot and now he’s trying to compete with suppliers 😂

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

SRS is the disappointment of the year for me.

[@Stoneface_]

​@@RoofingInsights3.0lol why?

[@ewhite75]

So how does the customer know if they are getting seaconds?

[@EvanGoodwin-jy8gm]

I’ve always respected your outlook on the roofing industry, but as someone who works in the supply industry the caption of your video is misleading. We’re not crooks because manufacturers increase prices? I bend over backwards for my customers every single day, 7 days a week, and I truly care about watching them grow into whatever they want to be. I can appreciate what Van Boxel is doing but it won’t work for every contractor and it doesn’t make beacon, or any other supplier crooked for doing it the way we do.

[@lcgoonsquad7650]

How much does Beacon pay per bundle of GAF HDZ?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

How much do you sell synthetic undelralyment you buy for $15? Do you have to sell it for $90? Is it your help? How do you exactly help? By increasing prices 7 times a year for absolute no reason but greed half of the time? That’s your help?

[@EvanGoodwin-jy8gm]

@@lcgoonsquad7650I’m sure Iike everything else it depends on the market and what area you’re in

[@EvanGoodwin-jy8gm]

@@RoofingInsights3.0we dealt with 3 price increases this year…. As well as a DECREASE at the beginning of the year… we aren’t responsible for the increases. The manufacturers are. Hence why they’re the ones who send the increase letters

[@ProPerformanceRoofing]

@@EvanGoodwin-jy8gmand your employer could say, ok well we aren’t raising ours.

[@Arloroofing]

Thast awesome I get my underlayment from then 😊

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

Thanks for your business!

[@justinh6974]

How do you like it. What's is approx cost

[@randyhurtado1745]

He said you can buy direct from Owens Corning?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Not really direct, it’s tricky, OC is very political and careful. You still have to use supplier to deliver

[@Akhmat83]

I roof 17 years. Never heard of seconds till this video.

[@nickanthony3637]

This is great guys thanks

[@shawnyork2083]

I got an order after ire dallas very happy

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

We appreciate your business!

[@christopherledbetter1009]

How is their felt ,is it mid grade level felt. Just wondering because I'd like to know what to expect when my order comes in.

[@shawnyork2083]

I got a semi load of miss tinted shingles, I live in a rural area where there are some pretty bad roofs that people can’t afford to do or farmers that say they don’t care what you put up there they just wanted as cheap as possible, so I feel I can still give them a quality job and not Discount, our labor, where as someone else would give them a less quality workmanship to just get the job. We have not had any issues with the shingles either.. if it doesn’t affect my manufactures extended warranties I will be getting a hold of Marissa this week and getting some felt for sure.

[@seaghanjohn]

Great interview Dimitri!

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Thank you sir

[@vincentmarro1396]

Everything sounds great but ice and water does come not in seconds and not in a box I use metro supplies huge supplier

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

We sell truckload quantities for $34 per roll. High temp $41 per roll.

[@jeffreyheitzenrater8064]

Products with no warranty? No name on wrappers? Exactly the things I would never use them. He can't articulate why they are seconds but he loves buying them. Nobody is in North East Ohio? CertainTeed and Owens Corning both have plants here. Our clients deserve to have a manufacturing warranty. Unfortunately, he lies about how a manufacturer won't be warranty because of a high nail. If there is an issue with the product they certainly will replace the materials. Extended warranties from CertainTeed, Owens Corning and GAF will even cover labor for 20 to 25 years.

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

I just gave an estimate to a Lawyer last night. They said They have a ton of GAF claims, and “it is a shame what they put people through”. Very few claims get paid out. I would never use seconds, or Oxidized asphalt shingles for that matter, install a good Polymer modified asphalt, then you basically never need a warranty that rarely actually is worth anything for a crutch.

[@brianbroyles641]

This video is "factual" only in ways that benefit and make him appear to be holy and righteous. This is a guy who's trying to "expose" large companies but he is tap dancing around his own I tegrity.

[@justinhuber5497]

Buy direct?? How? That’s something many of us roofers have explored and it’s not possible based on what our manufacturer reps tell us. So, how?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

You can buy everything but shingles direct. And you can get shingles from big box store cheaper than at ABC, Beacon or SRS

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

We manufacture our synthetic. No middleman. You buy directly from us.

[@felixdakat7129]

He said 38 a roll but his website says 52 what’s up with that Dimitri?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

He said as low as $38 (If you buy 36 pallets: container). We both sell it at $49/roll if you buy pallet or two delivered.

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

Different pricing for different quantities. Also new website is in progress that will be more user friendly.

[@Ryno762]

It'd 52 for the minimum quality

[@VanBoxelBuildingSupply]

@@Ryno762 For some reason, likley due to some woocommerce update, prices were displaying with tax included. Thats been fixed.

[@markmaley9929]

Roofers who use seconds and warranty themselves had to be 1% of the 1% of the 1% . Thats not a sustainable business model . I’d focus on cabinets and the synthetic and ice and water business - the goal is to make money .. not do volume As to what the Big 3 pays for products , a single location supplier has no idea what they pay for shingles and other roofing accessories . That’s how the Big 3 roll up independents , have a fleet of delivery trucks and an army of sales people chasing roofers … even some who don’t pay their bills . 😂 Finding Niches and the ability to turn the boat quickly in the river is how an independent supplier MIGHT survive .

[@ThomasBrauer]

Wow, if this guy ran a course on business I would take it...

[@uliseszepeda1]

Why did SRS disappoint you ?

[@JH-qy4yp]

I like what he is doing but he is giving lots of incorrect information
