David Collinge - Roofbuddy Customer

After past bad tradie experiences, David contacted Roofbuddy for quotes and guidance. He was thrilled with the stress-free process.

What led you to choose Roofbuddy and what were your expectations going in?

In the past, I've had a couple of really, bad experiences with cowboys, people purporting to be tradies or experienced.

From then on, when you when you see something like Roofbuddy you get five quotes you don't have to do anything. You get a bit of advice from, the chap I was dealing with at Roofbuddy initially.

I don't think we went with the lowest quote. They're all pretty much from the same ballpark. Went with the second quote and sitting above me now I've got a a completely new colour steel roof, and I've got Guardian Seal on the two flat areas and I'm absolutely rapt.

And and James was the chap I was dealing with the Roofbuddy, and he was just amazing, answering calls, answering emails, and when to pay, each third of the invoice, when you don't pay your final invoice until it's been signed off.

So I'm just I'm just so happy that I went down this path. It just takes all the stress out of your hands.

You know, it was just a a beautiful experience.


Did the satellite measurement and quote comparison tools help you feel more informed?

It's a good machine, you know. It's a really good machine to get the quotes real quick.

It's all done off from overhead shots of Google I imagine.

So, it's a really tight, little system. This allows five quotes to arrive pretty quickly.

So there's no mucking around.

And then it's relatively easy to make your decision with a bit of input from Roofbuddy.

I made the decision and and away we went.

And here we are in a dry house.

It's nice.


What difference has the new roof made to your home or daily life?

That investment is probably going to repay itself 3 or 4 fold.

Because, you know, when you sell a house, you have to disclose issues and, disclosing the issues we had would have put 95% of all potential buyers off. It's just too hard you know, what else is wrong?

That would just be a big worry for me.

Now we can, when we go to the market soon and that's it. You know, there's nothing to declare. Everything's been done.

And, knowing that, the next buyer will have 30 years of warranty, remaining.

Getting it fixed was a no brainer in terms of, an investment.


What advice would you give to other homeowners considering Roofbuddy for their roofing needs?

Avoid the Cowboys.

Sadly, there's plenty of cowboys out there and some people are quite happy to rip people off and that's really sad.

So, you know, if you want to get a range of quotes then the model that Roofbuddy use, just do it because you can sit back and relax, it all just comes to you.

You make a decision and you know that somebody else has got your back and that you won't be dealing with cowboys.

We don't like cowboys.
