Side by Side
BILT vs. the way roofing has always been sold
You may have heard things about us. Good — people talk about whatever threatens the old way of doing business. Here's the comparison in writing, so you can judge for yourself.
| BILT | Traditional contractor | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting a price | Measure with your phone, see one flat all-in price for your exact roof — on your screen, in private, with nobody in your living room. | “We'll send someone out.” A salesman visits, sizes you up, and the number arrives days later — different for every neighbor. |
| Sales pressure | No salesman, ever. The quote page is self-serve; talk or text a real person only if you want to. | Kitchen-table presentation, tonight-only discounts, follow-up calls until you sign. |
| Plywood & surprises | Plywood replacement is free — even if the entire deck needs it. The price you see is the price you pay. | Rotten decking is the classic change order: $70–$120 per sheet, discovered after tear-off when you can't say no. |
| Materials | Owens Corning systems on every roof, with the full Good/Better/Best lineup priced for your roof on your quote page. | “Architectural shingles” — brand and line often unspecified until the contract. |
| Paying for it | 10% off to pay in full, or 50/50 — half now, half when the job's done. Your choice, online. | Large deposit up front, balance on their schedule — ask the salesman. |
| Scheduling | Your quote, add-ons, and project status live at one link. You always know where things stand. | “We'll call you when the crew frees up.” |
None of this is a knock on the good crews out there — Western Maryland has some. It's a knock on a sales process that was built for the contractor, not the homeowner. We just built the opposite.
