When you hire a roofing company, you're not just paying for shingles and labor. You're trusting someone with your home. Your family's safety. Your biggest investment.
That's a big deal. And it's why the values behind a company matter just as much as the work they do.
At Best Roofing Now, we're proud to be a veteran-owned roofing company serving Charlotte and Lake Norman. But what does that really mean for you as a homeowner? Let's talk about why military values make a real difference when it comes to protecting your roof.
You see "veteran-owned" on a lot of businesses these days. But it's more than a marketing phrase. It's a promise about how we operate.
Our co-founder Fred brought something special from his military service. Discipline. Integrity. And a deep commitment to service. These aren't just words on a wall. They guide every decision we make.
When Fred finished his service, he could have done anything. But he chose roofing because it's honest work. It's work that protects families. And it's work where doing things right actually matters.
That military mindset shapes everything we do at Best Roofing Now.
Here's something that might surprise you. We sometimes tell customers NOT to replace their roof.
Sounds crazy for a roofing company, right? But here's the thing. If your roof just needs a repair, we'll tell you that. Even though a full replacement would make us more money.
Why? Because integrity means telling the truth. Always. In the military, lying can get people hurt. In roofing, dishonesty hurts homeowners' wallets and trust.
The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) emphasizes that ethical contractors should "provide honest assessments and recommend only necessary work." That's not just good business. It's the right thing to do.
We'd rather earn your trust today and your referral tomorrow than make a quick buck on work you don't need.
Military training drills one thing into you. Details matter. A small mistake in the field can have big consequences.
The same is true in roofing. A nail placed wrong. A flashing not sealed properly. An underlayment installed carelessly. These "small" things cause big problems later.
Charlotte's weather doesn't forgive sloppy work. We get heavy summer storms. Ice in winter. And that humidity? It tests every roofing system year-round.
Our crews follow strict installation protocols. Every time. No shortcuts. No "good enough." Because discipline means doing things right whether someone is watching or not.
In the military, you don't abandon your mission. You don't leave people behind. You finish what you start.
That same commitment drives how we treat our customers. When we install your roof, we're not just there for the project. We're there for the long haul.
That's why we offer a lifetime workmanship warranty. We stand behind our work because we're committed to your satisfaction. Not just on day one. But for years to come.
You might wonder what combat training has to do with installing shingles. More than you'd think.
Military service teaches you to notice things others miss. That skill transfers directly to roofing. We catch problems other contractors overlook. Small cracks. Subtle water damage. Early signs of wear.
During our inspections, we document everything. We take photos. We explain what we find. No surprises. No hidden issues popping up later.
Charlotte storms don't wait for convenient timing. When a tree branch punches through your roof at 2 AM, you need a team that handles pressure well.
Veterans are trained to stay calm in chaos. To think clearly when things go wrong. That means faster response times and smarter solutions when emergencies happen.
A roofing crew works like a military unit. Everyone has a role. Everyone depends on each other. Communication has to be clear and constant.
Our teams train together. They know each other's strengths. And they coordinate seamlessly to get your project done efficiently and safely.
Being veteran-owned is one thing. Being locally owned and operated adds another layer of accountability.
We live here. Our families live here. We shop at the same Harris Teeter as you. Our kids go to schools in Huntersville and Cornelius. We drive the same traffic on I-77.
That means we can't disappear after a bad job. Our reputation is built one Charlotte roof at a time. One Lake Norman neighborhood at a time.
When you hire a national company or out-of-town contractor, they might never see you again. They have no stake in your community. But we're your neighbors. And neighbors take care of each other.
According to the Small Business Administration, veteran-owned businesses are "twice as likely to hire other veterans and invest in their local communities." That investment shows in the quality of work and the relationships we build.
Military values are our foundation. But we also back them up with industry certifications and professional standards.
We're a GAF Certified contractor. GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer. Their certification means we've passed rigorous training and demonstrated proper installation techniques.
Only about 7% of roofing contractors earn this certification. It allows us to offer enhanced warranties that other contractors simply can't provide.
The Better Business Bureau holds businesses accountable. Our A+ rating reflects our commitment to honest practices and customer satisfaction.
We respond to every concern. We resolve issues quickly. Because that's what integrity demands.
This credential means we've completed advanced training in shingle installation. It's not required. But we pursue it anyway. Because discipline means always improving.
Numbers and certifications are great. But what really matters is how we treat people.
Here's what one recent customer shared:
"Fast, responsive, personable service and high-quality work. Best Roofing Now made the whole process easy. You can tell they actually care about doing things right."
That feedback means everything to us. It reflects the values we try to live every day.
We don't just want satisfied customers. We want customers who trust us enough to recommend us to their family and friends. That only happens when you truly put people first.
Being veteran-owned means we understand the unique challenges military families face. That's why we offer special discounts for active military members and veterans.
It's our way of giving back to the community that shaped us. And it's part of our larger mission to serve Charlotte with honor.
We also prioritize hiring veterans whenever possible. Military service teaches skills that make excellent roofers. Work ethic. Attention to detail. Physical fitness. Teamwork.
By employing veterans, we help them transition to civilian careers while bringing their valuable skills to our customers.
Let's be honest. The roofing industry has a reputation problem. Storm chasers. Fly-by-night contractors. Companies that take deposits and disappear.
It frustrates us as much as it frustrates you.
That's part of why we're so committed to doing things differently. We believe roofing can be an honorable profession. A skilled trade that protects families and builds communities.
Every honest estimate we provide. Every roof we install correctly. Every warranty we honor. It all contributes to rebuilding trust in this industry.
The Building Codes Assistance Project notes that "quality installation is just as important as quality materials." We couldn't agree more. And we prove it with every project.
Our veteran values apply no matter what roofing material you choose. We're experts in:
No matter what material fits your home and budget, you'll get the same disciplined installation process and honest guidance.
Choosing a roofing contractor feels overwhelming. Everyone claims to be the best. Everyone promises quality work.
So how do you actually decide?
Look at values. Look at track record. Look at how they treat you during the estimate process.
Do they pressure you? Or do they educate you?
Do they push the most expensive option? Or do they recommend what actually makes sense for your situation?
Do they answer your questions patiently? Or do they rush to close the deal?
At Best Roofing Now, we believe you deserve a contractor who treats you with respect. Who tells you the truth. Who does the job right. And who stands behind their work.
Those aren't revolutionary ideas. They're just the basics. But in this industry, the basics are too often ignored.
We're here to change that. One Charlotte roof at a time.
Your roof protects everything you care about. It deserves a team that takes that responsibility seriously.
If you're looking for a roofing company that combines military values with professional expertise, we'd love to earn your trust.
Schedule your free inspection today and see the difference integrity, discipline, and commitment make. We'll assess your roof honestly, answer your questions completely, and provide a fair estimate with no pressure.
Because that's how we believe business should be done. ✅
