On Top Roofing
On Top Roofing aims to guide homeowners in the complicated process of dealing with insurance companies. On Top Roofing is a one-stop solution for all roofing needs, providing a voice and needed resources to get every project completed at the highest standards possible.
“We classify ourselves as insurance specialists,” says salesman Bruce Scales. “We work with the homeowner to identify if they have any problems with their roof. Louisville gets its fair share of storm damage and we survey their roof and look for hail damage, wind damage or both. If they do, we recommend to the homeowner that they file a claim with their insurance company. We make sure they have damage before they make a claim so their rates won’t go up.”
On Top Roofing was started in 2023 by owner Derick Hihn and has quickly become a leader in the industry. They offer complimentary roof inspections to assess quality and structural integrity, identifying areas needed for repair or replacement. After the assessment, On Top Roofing provides a detailed report and any necessary actions to keep the roof in optimal condition. The team will also go back to the insurance companies if they disagree with its assessments.
“We’ll negotiate on behalf of the owner,” Scales says. “We guide the owner throughout the process. They are elated that we come in and basically take over. We are very knowledgeable about roofing and what the issues are.”
On Top Roofing serves the entire Louisville and Southern Indiana area, and completes the repair or replacement projects on asphalt shingles & gutters. Project Manager Americo Imperatore says On Top Roofing’s customer service and attention to detail stand out from its competitors.
“We are there for the customer from start to finish from filing the claim until that roof is fully replaced,” Imperatore says. “However long that takes, we are with the customer and are available whenever we need to be. Our communication sets us apart.”
One new avenue for the On Top Roofing crew is Shingle Tomb, a separate company also owned by Hihn that was started to provide long term marketing for contractors after jobs are completed. This durable, eco-friendly, storage box stores extra shingles plus the logo and contact information of the contractor that completed the job, ensuring clients remember who they worked with for years to come. Shingle Tomb has already become a popular way for roofers to resonate with homeowners.
“This box is a marketing piece for the roofing contractor,” Scales says. “Homeowners ask us to leave shingles behind sometimes in case they need to do a repair. Once the job is complete, we provide our logo and contact number and put a full bundle of shingles inside the box. We strategically work with the owner on where to place in the garage. It’s a tool for the roofing contractor that can continue marketing for 20 years. It’s worked out really well. We’ve taken it a step further and customize these boxes based on their needs. Not only do we have our standard box, we are customizing boxes for contractors. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
