The true measure of value

By The RIDGEPRO. 

Discover how quality materials, craftsmanship and durability redefine roofing value. 

In a world where disposability often overshadows durability, the quest for true value is more critical than ever. When it comes to roofing, discerning professionals and homeowners alike are no longer satisfied with short-lived, cheaply made materials. They seek quality, reliability and longevity in every component. But what exactly makes a roofing product worth its higher price? From top-tier materials to expert craftsmanship, the elements of value are multi-faceted and indispensable. Join us at The RIDGEPRO as we look into the essential factors that elevate roofing from a mere necessity to a sound, enduring investment. 

Quality materials 

Starting with the right materials for the job creates the basis of value, a strong pedestal for a long-lasting service or product. This is no place to cut corners. Tools made from shoddy components such as low-quality metals have to be replaced frequently and waste both time and money.  

Workmanship 

Even quality materials mean little if put together badly. Ever tried to assemble a piece of furniture where the pre-drilled holes didn’t quite line up? We all have and know the frustration firsthand. Good craftsmanship is an inherent and necessary component of value.  

Assembly 

Time is money and the average roofing jobsite has no tolerance for tools that take forever to assemble or have too many small screws or washers. Crews don’t need to be chasing dropped bolts across the bed of a pickup truck. A quick set up procedure enhances value. 

Ease of use 

Once the tool is put together, it needs to be uncomplicated to use or it will remain in the box on the back of the truck. Whether you’re fitting a complicated valley flashing, or pouring a new high tech roof surface, the job needs to proceed without undue delays caused by one fussy tool. Value is closely linked to job efficiency. 

Durability 

Suppose you have a great tool and your workers love it. You bought it last season and it got rave reviews, speeding up job completions at a measurable level. But, this season, it broke on the second roofing job. Just quit working and its computer brain seems to have died. You can order a new one but, like many other things, the price has gone up. There’s little value in a tool that doesn’t last. 

Obviously, product value is a composite of many things. Strength, versatility and clever purpose-built design all combine to make a product that crews can count on every day. While price must often be a part of the business calculation in choosing a product, when weighed against all other factors, value stands out.  

At The RIDGEPRO®, we believe it’s important to deliver a high level of value, particularly because we make a safety tool used in a dangerous environment. It’s always been our mission to dramatically reduce the number of falls and fatalities in steep-slope roofing safety. We look forward to living up to your expectations of value.
