The Business of Roofing: Raymond Wendell | Perimeter Roofing | Business Hats Podcast

[@Fastandfluffy101]

I'm 17 and I know someone that's giving me a job to find clients for him and listening to these really helps keep it up

[@Fastandfluffy101]

He's a roofer and I have to find roofs

[@rlittle6085]

Awesome man

[@Caleb_Johnson]

A salesman from perimeter roofing approached my client and I as we were filing a claim on their front porch and said “if he won’t eat your deductible, I will”

[@Cl-1993]

Thats bullshit!

[@TherealBigblue22]

@@Cl-1993that’s one way to win a sale or get the other roofing company to hate you lol

[@crystalwatterson8963]

I think that he is right, we should absolutely be licensed.

[@chance2advance398]

I feel like he speaking about working with #1 &#2 largest insurance companies 😅

[@christopherledbetter1009]

I think when you talk about the quality of work getting you job's, for the homeowner it has to be the cleanup, if the ground is spotless and the crew's run the magnet really good and get the nails then the homeowner will usually automatically consider the roof to be installed correctly. My dad always told me that if there is trash left all over the ground when the crew leaves then there's probably trash on the roof as well.

Smart guys , great interview

[@garrisonmcgugin8206]

"Always get a licensed adjuster on the property to make a coverage decision." Absolutely yes. Tired of adjusters sending their errand boys. Had one tell me that wind damage does not qualify as damage even though the HO had it as a covered peril.

[@cameronschronk9417]

When initially filing the claim can you have the homeowner request a desk adjuster to make a policy coverage decision and also request that the independent adjuster not to come out

[@christopherledbetter1009]

I'll take it a step further on the license requirements. I believe anyone who wants to own and operate a roofing company should have to pass a roofing exam/test to get a license. This way anyone can't get insurance and work comp and call themselves a roofing company. I believe just like driving a car one should be qualified. An owner should have at least 3 year's on a roof before they can own and operate a roofing company.

[@rfloresbucket]

Hahaha. This will fix a lot things, including getting rid of all storm roofers like this guy 😃😃😃

[@SR2001-4EVER]

PhukkYeah

[@SR2001-4EVER]

​@rfloresbucket ...exactly,...this yahoo even said it himself. "I'm not a roofer"...just look at his hands

[@adamsw2424]

The way he laughs when talking about hail tells you all you need to know about roofers

[@Stoneface_]

What you talking about

[@WeFindSimpleSolutions]

Great video

[@williamking3523]

Talking about "fat guys" roofer I worked with a guy back in the late 70's he was 325 and about 5'-8" I have personally watched him install 10-12 Sq by noon on a regular basis and hot mopped 90lb slope roofs all day long five days a week- Just Sayin:)

[@scudz1776]

This was super informative

[@strongroofing]

New corvette!!!

[@jayblemsin4226]

Its all fine and good these record sales but were also paying record insurance. This industry needs honesty in a big way.

[@charlesmoore6138]

So very True, it always seem that they talk about their Toys that They have bought with the over Priced Jobs. Yes this Industry needs over sight, the Home Owners are the ones being Hurt with Subpar Work and Increased Insurance Premiums.

[@TherealBigblue22]

@@charlesmoore6138that’s why you do it honestly and if you find out the homeowner is getting booted from the policy or planning to change companies after the job ring that insurance agency out they like to scam on monthly basis

[@BeboTVreal]

Contractors should always be licensed. Adjusters who are licensed should always be on site.

[@TherealBigblue22]

Adjusters are just their for the sake of the insurance company and don’t care about the home owner

[@absworkout8080]

is this the guy that has an argument w the state farm adjuster? that video?

[@RoofingInsights3.0]

Yep, that’s him! Internet famous!

[@rlittle6085]

Yes that’s me

[@strongroofing]

Shout out Sarasota!

[@sparkrealtygroup]

The beasts are paying their people 😂

[@darylb3350]

Since the early 90s this business has never had a lack of bullshitters

[@billa2709]

You mention not dealing with 3 tabs a few times in this video. Can I ask why that is?

[@christopherledbetter1009]

Every company will get them certain costumers that are nit pickers lol so personally we have built our business with high standards and by staying on the job and demanding perfection. Yes there is money in roofing,,therefore the quality of work should match the price of the roof these homeowners are being charged.

[@sshaw1015]

Great interview but kinda annoying you asking same questions minutes later when he already when over the point or story...Im double checking the time points on the video to see if i accidentlyly rewinded it wondering why I'm hearing the same questions and stories 2x or 3x

[@americanspeedshops]

Can someone show me the Facebook page that generated that about of money ? I can’t find it.

[@rlittle6085]

Raymond Wendell little

[@decabello67]

60 Millions through facebook?? That does not seem real. And he's not talking about Facebook ads, which is something that lots of roofing companies do with success.

[@sparkrealtygroup]

Yeah, stack and starve in Florida is a problem

[@gavincollins4300]

Staff adjusters do not get any incentive for denying claims. They have no dog in the fight, just a guideline

[@Masuvius]

I have worked with some staff adjusters who seem like they want to cover damage fairly but just have strict guidelines and red tape when approving things (can only approve up to certain $ before going to managers, can’t tell you certain things, etc), and other staff adjusters/adjusters who are a part of an adjusting company who are exactly like this guy explains. It’s like they are sent out with a script to deny the claim at all costs and definitely must be getting some kind of an incentive from the insurance company for doing so…independent adjusters are easiest hands down…we have independent adjusters who refer claims to us even…once adjusting firms reach a certain size they start making their money on denials it seems. They’re like the insurance companies hired gun.

[@entrepreneur724]

I immediately lost respect for this guest when they started talking about adding regulations. Of course they want regulations because they're a 40 million company. Regulations only ever help the giant companies in squashing competition. They're just bitter and trying to control the smaller guys. I'm not even specifically talking about the regulation he's mentioning, it's the overall mentality that you must have regulation because it never ever bodes well for small companies.

[@Jaspergurs]

3rd party is very much on purpose. They’ll hide behind their emails. Ignore your calls. They’re tired of having to be accountable.

[@Jaspergurs]

They also get paid per roof they set foot on. They get very little extra to “write up the approval” so it’s more work for $50 more bucks. The incentives are backwards. I could go on for days about 3rd party State Farm
