About John the Roofer

paul-mainvillePaul Mainville assumed ownership of John the Roofer in 1988 upon the passing of his uncle and mentor, Mr. J.T. Pettis. His teachings to Paul were invaluable and are the guidepost for the company’s continued success.

Prior to taking over at John the Roofer Company, Paul was an installer of roofing, siding, and window products along with any needed carpentry work. This experience was very helpful in understanding every level of the business.

READ ALL TESTIMONIALS

I would like to thank Paul Mainville and the crew of John the Roofer for an awesome job on my new roof. I received many estimates from roofing contractors and ultimately decided to select John the Roofer because he was able to point out many issues I had with my old roof that none of the other contractors even noticed. I have recommended you to friends and co-workers and will continue to do so in the future.

Thank you.

Just to let you know, the workers did a nice clean job and they are very hard workers. I gave your name and phone number to a few people that want to put on a new roof. Nice doing business with you!

Thank you so much for our new beautiful roof. The work you all did from the first initial meeting until the job was complete, was just awesome. The people on the crew were very friendly and courteous. We have already recommended you to a few of our “home owner” friends and will continue to do so.

Thanks again!

Paul and I wanted to thank you for getting this job done. We know it was a pain and we really appreciate your loyalty to us. Also we thank you for the price – we would have paid whatever you requested to get the job done. We enjoy doing business with you and your crew. They are always hard working, polite men. We spread the word to anyone who needs a roof! You’re the best!

Our Process

Upon receiving your initial estimate request, an estimator will come out to your home to do an in-depth inspection.

After this inspection is complete, the information is then brought to the office, where a specification list and cost analysis is produced.

The next step in the process is to schedule an appointment for our company representative to present the information to you, the prospective buyer.

NEWS UPDATES

Upon meeting with our company representative and deciding to use our services, your products colors and styles will be decided and a contract will be written.

Generally, we request a deposit on special order items only, with balances due in full upon completion. Generally no deposits are required on roofing projects.  You trust us and we trust you. In my almost 37 years in the company, we have always been paid in full upon completion. It is testimony to company and customers alike! Our customers often tell us that our entire estimate process was the reason that we were chosen over the competition to complete their home improvement projects!
