Online presence has a place in our business

It is hard to know who to trust in this day and age. I know personally whenever I'm searching for a product or service the first place I go to is the internet. I start looking for product reviews, selection options, reviews from customers, any type of data that will help me be better informed. Our company understands that the world has changed and how important all of these items are when helping you make a decision. We spend large amounts of time and resources building our online reputation in hopes that customers will find it helpful.

This past month we sent out a mass e-mail to our former customers on file asking them for reviews on a popular website. When I got ready to send the e-mail the gentleman working for the software company helping me on the other end of the phone said "Are you sure you want to send it to all of your customers or just the one's that have given you a 4 star rating or better?" I replied and told him that I was confident in our work overall and wanted to send it to all of our previous customers. We received a couple of negative postings and in all honesty I was fine with that. It is good to hear from customers who were not satisified and find out why they weren't. It gives us a chance to make changes if and when we can, and better our processes and people. 

I did realize something out of all of this and that is that social media will either bring out the best in people or the worst. Know that we do value your feedback either way and that is why we continue to promote our online presence. Helping to educate our current customers as well as our future customers are top priority for us. 

Thanks to everyone who has sent in reviews over the years about our service and helped contributed to our online efforts!

We want to take a minute and talk about snow fence. Not the snow fences you see on the highways but one that is above you on the roof. 

Snow fence is great for those of you who live at high elevations that see a lot of snow and ice build up on your roof. Snow fence or sometimes called snow guards, ice guard, or snow shields. They are installed periodically across your roof system to help prevent snow and ice from falling below. These systems can be extremely helpful for those of you who own metal roofs and if partnered with a heat trace system can virtually eliminate your ice problems. They are made of polycarbonate and/or metals depending type, size, or specific function of the guard.  Some manufacturers have designed metal powder-coated color armor shields to match roof colors and at times can actually give the roof more appeal aesthetically.

See the attached photos of a recently completed system installed by Eduardo we put in for a customer of ours. Contact our office via our estimate form at www.aspen-roofing.com if you are interested in learning more about how they can help your roof system last longer and prevent injuries or accidents to loved one's below.

Thanks!

Ryan shows you how to install gutters yourself!

We find that this time of year we are so busy conducting roofing estimates that we don't get time to make it to all of our gutter estimates too. We either refer you to another local gutter company here in Salt Lake or we can just show you how to do it yourself! Check out this video that was put together on E-how by our very own Ryan.

Aspen Roofing offers 30% off a Sol-Ice System

Check out the Aspen Roofing clip on Real Green World with the guys from Sol-Ice. 

Aspen Roofing is proud to offer 30% off the installation of a Sol-Ice system from now until Labor Day. Summer is the best time to install these products before we get busy in the fall, and the snow and ice soon follow! Ice dams can be damaging to your roof system, or gutters. There are ways to prevent this from happening. One way is to install a Sol-Ice system right under your roofing system. One of the great thing about this system is that there are no ugly wires or heat cables visible to the eye.  Some of their products can actually be used in conjunction with solar power and save you money through reduced energy costs. We are the Utah Autorized Roofing Installer for Sol-Ice and have a variety of roofing products including high end shingles, metal, copper, and cool roofing systems.

Alternative Energy
We are looking for better and more efficient products for you

Not only is it costing you more $ at the pump these days with the recent events in the middle east, but it is also going to cost you more money to get that asphalt roof fixed or replaced. Every time the cost of crude oil goes up, we see a cost increase on asphalt shingles as well. Our manufacturers have increased our prices at least 2-3 times a year in the last few years. Sometimes jumping as much as 8%. That is a huge increase for our consumers.

This convinced us to take it upon ourselves to search the marketplace for energy efficient exterior products for your homes and we like what we are finding. Within the last 12 months several manufacturers have come out with either green roof systems, energy star rated shingle systems, solar powered ventilation, recycled roof systems, and photovoltaic solar panels (some of which are thin film).

Aspen Roofing wants you to be educated on all of your product options. We are leading our industry to find ways to save our customers $$$ and help the environment too. We are all in this together and are glad to be doing our part.
