WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

The W2 Project Manager Difference

Ask your current roofer: who's actually accountable for your job?

Most roofing companies run jobs through 1099 project leads — independent contractors with no real tie to the company that sold you the roof. Status Roofing made a different choice. Every Project Manager in charge of your job is a W2 employee — background-checked, drug-tested, fully insured, and directly accountable to Status Roofing from estimate to final invoice. It costs us significantly more than our competitors. That's the point. You get a single, named, employed point of accountability — not a subcontractor passing your job to whoever's available.
