The Homeowner Roofing Decision Challenge
Weathervane Roofing faced a significant challenge. As a specialized provider of roofing services based on a distinct "repair, not replace" philosophy, they needed to help homeowners make informed decisions about their roofing issues. Many customers lacked the technical knowledge to accurately describe their roofing problems or understand when repair was a viable alternative to costly replacement.
With numerous roofing materials, structural considerations, and regional weather factors to consider, homeowners often required extensive consultation to understand their options—creating a knowledge gap between initial concern and appropriate roofing solution.
