Dear BRETT,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
Details of the Recommendation: "Brett Rostochil ROCKS! Hired him with his previous employer to re-do my roof after the biggest hail storm in Oklahoma history in 2010. Brett kept in touch with me, interceded with insurance adjusters to get things covered, and was friendly and professional and thorough.
Recently hired Brett/Allstate to help with some commercial property that I am helping manage. He repaired a flat roof on a car dealership that had previously been "repaired" by Salazar. It leaked after every single rain after the Salazar repair. We were so distressed and thought that the next step for that property would be some kind of roof replacement. Brett took a look at it, gave us an estimate and a warranty on his work. He and his people at Allstate fixed it on a Sunday afternoon when nobody would be there working. It rained and rained the next week-and for the first time since I have been managing it, NO LEAKS. Awesome.. We are using him again for another property very soon!” Jane Ann

Allstate’s Foam Roofing
Foam Roofing
A quality, economical solution to your roofing needs. Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems are a popular choice among owners of both new and existing flat-roofed buildings. The system provides a durable, waterproof covering which bonds tightly to nearly any properly prepared surface. The foam is professionally applied with a spray gun that mixes two liquid components to form a rigid polyurethane foam (PUF). It's so lightweight with about eight ounces per square foot that it can be applied over most existing roof systems without exceeding the structural load capacity. Yet it's amazingly strong, easily withstanding foot traffic and other weight requirements.Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) roofs exhibit advantages over built-up roofing (BUR) and EPDM rubber roofing:
1. Seams are one of the major sources of leaks in roof systems and SPF roofs are totally seamless.2. Water does not travel laterally in SPF roofs as it can in BUR or single-ply roofs. A leak in the top membrane of a BUR or single-ply roof will create the spreading of water, saturating the insulation and causing multiple interior leaks. With SPF, even if a hole is punched through the entire two-inch membrane, water movement will be restricted to the hole. In most cases repairs can be made with a tube of caulk.
3. Because the SPF roof is lightweight, permeable and fully adhered, normally an old roof does not need to be removed in order to apply a new one. If underlying areas of saturated insulation are found, minimal tear-off may be required.
4. The SPF roofing is less disruptive since tear-off is minimal. Also, projects are accomplished faster because the application is quieter, quicker and requires far fewer laborers.
5. Roof mounted units, penetrations, curbs, and parapets can receive a seamless monolithic application because SPF is spray applied. BUR and single-ply roofs require flashing materials with sealants, which frequently result in leaks.
Save Time and Money
The only roofing system that keeps saving you money, providing a return on your investment (ROI). For most installations, the old roof stays on, saving you $.25 to $.65/sq. ft. in tear-off costs and speeding up the installation time, causing less disruption at your work site. The economical installation is only the start of the money you can save. The insulating foam keeps heat from penetrating in the summer or escaping in the winter, permanently lowering heating and air conditioning costs for most owners. The seamless system reduces the need for repairs, but if mechanical damage to the membrane does occur, it usually can be repaired with only a caulk gun and sealant. And unlike some systems, foam roofing recoats with ease, extending the life of the roof.Cost savings can be even more substantial on new buildings because PUF's lightweight and superior insulating qualities can reduce costly structural requirements, as well as operational requirements of cooling and heating equipment.
Virtually Leakproof
Eliminates the problem areas where most leaks start. A typical single-ply roofing system has thousands of linear feet of seams and hundreds of mechanical fasteners - all prime candidates for future leaks. Foam roofing systems are seamless and use no mechanical fasteners, eliminating those problem areas from the start. To further discourage leaks, a subtle slope can be easily built into your foam system to prevent ponding. In addition, SPF's closed-cell structure prevents horizontal movement of water so should you get a leak, it is contained to one area making it easy to find and repair.Foam roofing also offers the advantage of being self-flashing; during installation, the foam flows around all protrusions, such as roof vents and cooling units, forming a tight bond that seals off places leaks can start. Because of these same qualities, future roof modifications can be easily accommodated. The foam is easy to cut and replace when vent stacks or other roof penetrations need to be moved to suit new operational needs.
Energy Efficient
More thermal resistance than any other insulating material. As the cost of heating and cooling buildings keeps climbing, many owners choose foam roofing for its outstanding insulating properties. Unlike other roof systems, the entire thickness of a foam roof is high-grade insulation. SPF's closed-cell structure stops air infiltration, the chief culprit of most energy losses. A one-inch thickness has an insulating R-value of 7.14, higher than any other insulating material. In addition, when you install SPF over an existing roof, you retain that R-value, as well as add to it.Most building owners experience substantial energy savings with a foam roofing system from Allstate Roofing
Satisfaction Guaranteed
At Preferred Roofing we stand behind our roofing systems. We're so confident in our foam coatings, we offer three optional warranties:
- 10-year, 12-year, and 15-year materials warranty
- 10-year, 12-year, and 15-year joint warranty
Satisfaction guaranteed is our motto. It's this confidence in our products and our commitment to customer service that have made us number one in what we do.
More experience mean you get taken care of better.
Insurance Claim adjusters
When dealing with wind, hail or natural disaster emergencies, property owners face a unique set of challenges.
When dealing with wind, hail or natural disaster emergencies, property owners face a unique set of challenges.
You're faced with critical recovery decisions required to mitigate damages and navigate a complicated insurance claims process that can be filled with ambiguous language, complicated calculations, and endless lists of documents which makes the process overwhelming and time-consuming.
Most people don’t realize the insurance company doesn’t automatically pay their insurance claims, particularly with damages that are considered hidden or insidious or aren’t readily recognizable by untrained professionals.
The burden is placed on the property owner to recognize and “prove” the claim in order to be reimbursed for a loss. When a disaster occurs, the insurance company has adjusters, engineers, claims managers, and lawyers representing insurance company interests.
Dealing effectively with insurance claims presents a challenge even experienced insurance claims negotiators can find challenging. As claims get more complex, the energy and time required to properly document and value every detail of the loss increases. Most property owners whom attempt to “handle” their own claim are unable to recover and collect full and fair compensation for their losses.
Property owners facing storm-related crises involving property damage have continued to turn to Allstate's Roofing experts We have more experienced as adjusters than any roofing company in the State! This will assist in rebuilding homes and stabilizing lives. As experts in the insurance claim restoration field, we work for you to advocate on your behalf by supporting you through the entire claim/settlement process with the goal of achieving the maximum recovery possible.

wow!
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

Attitude
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."

Giving!
Today at Lifechurch.TV, they talked about giving/tithing. Now I know alot of people that are givers and then there are the takers. for some reason I felt compelled to take every bit of cash out of my wallet $77.00 and put into the plate. I say this not to brag or make someone else feel compelled to give.
I say this to express my desire for the world to be more of a giving society rather than takers. My family has been blessed over the years, my wife and I had successful careers and then laid off with in weeks of each other after being with Hertz and the Hartford, for 20 and 14 years. Loyal employees that gave there all to these companies and then tossed away, with out a thank you, but a severance package. While my wife was off work for 8 months, she volunteered for many organizations and soon found a new job which payed her double her previous salary and I found the same thing 3 months later. Luck you may say, or rewards form our higher power.
For those people that say they cannot find a job I say volunteer do something anything to help someone out. I shave seen people that have nothing give.
I urge people to try and give back more and see what happens. That's what I do in my company. I give more than I take, and I always get more in return. On some jobs that I have when a roof is over $20,000. I see people who live in a zone in Oklahoma city that has had tornadoes roll through. I give them a storm shelter out of my profits knowing that they will be safe if that area gets hit again. I have 2 jobs going know in Moore, Ok that I am doing that on. Because its the right thing to do. I look at the CEO's of all these big corporations or big companies that take huge salaries for themselves and don't give back.
I am going to make a challenge to every Roofing company in Oklahoma,.to do what I do. Lets see who steps up to the plate. I hope many will. I hope the companies that put in storm shelters will cut some profits in order to help out some of these people, to be safe. Especially families with kids. I would hate myself, if I took $2500 and lined my pocket on a job, and that house and family were killed when a tornado hit that house sometime later, knowing I could have done something.
People who are on a fixed income that cannot afford to fix something in their house. I urge businesses to step up and do things they normally would charge for, and just fix it for them for free. Why do some companies that are financially secure not help those in need more.
I hope the takers in this world would switch teams. and realize people should help people and not take advantage of others. Can you even imagine a world like that? There was this man who said "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Give of your self don't be a taker. Be a giver the rewards are amazing.
Just my thoughts

roofing scammers and door to door knockers.
1. scam artists(Predators) red flags. Storm chasers.
These guys I would like to shoot, they take advantage of trusting people. Turn them away if they ask for money up front.(Never ever pay up front for anything). Never ever sign a blank contract.
Do not hire a contractor with out of state tags, or magnetic signs on there truck, or if they are missing teeth. have an old broken down vehicle. These are signs they can barely make it doing what they do.
Personally I would only work with the owner of the company. The bigger companies have sales reps that have to earn a commission so add deduct 10 to 15% from the bid because that's what they get. I beleive the companies that have to advertise on billboards and in the yellow pages with full page adds are trying to make themselves look like they are the best. when in actuality most 90% of the public look online and research a company through the internet. If you need work done and need to hire a contractor. I would pay the few dollars to join Angie's list. It's worth it to get real opinions from real customers. Check the BBB as well. Research them check with the court documents to see if they have been sued or have a bankruptcy. Spending time before you put your autograph on a contract could save you from a very bad experience.
2. Door knockers. your eating dinner with your family and somebody knocks on the door and says "Hi I am in the neighborhood and noticed your roof has some damage or looks old would you like a free estimate." I would say no! unsolicited door knockers are begging for business and are the same as door to door magazine salesmen. they will waste your time and feed you some bull.
We do not do that. We don't have to our customers call us because of our reputation. Just yesterday, a client called us said he had a small leak. we found it fixed it with a $4 dollar tube of caulk. did it for free! any other company would have charge a minimum of $250 to $400 dollars just to come out. That's just robbery to me. The client knows and will tell everyone he know if they have a problem call us. That's just the right thing to do and that's how you get referrals and more business. not billboards. Granted name recognition is important but that's $2000 to $5000 a month that they have to pay for and makes the have to charge more.
So next time you need any work done from a swimming pool to a new roof check out the smaller companies talk to your friends who have had work done and see how the work went if they got a good price and we satisfied with the work and the workers.
I hope this helps
I Hope this info helps.

The Roofing Truth!!
I will expose the truth behind the insurance adjusters and the roofing companies! I have worked in both sides. The big truth is insurance adjusters work there butts off! They do not mean to be short with you.. or forget to add something to your claim, that they missed. They just have about 50 other people to see and take care of that week, when there is a catastrophe. I was handling 160 claims a month when I left The Hartford in 2007. Boy what a screwed up company, that was when I left. You can see the stocks plummeted when I left in May of 2007. The lay offs were directly followed by the firing of the VP of the Property claims department, who was a (I think I know it all!) and our region manager. Then they asked me back, and I said Bite me. that was after 14 years of long hours and a new manager every six months...
Then on to working and selling roofs, for What I thought was a good company, did that for 4 years, sold millions of dollars worth of roofing, I had my own referrals coming in from my connections, I had made through the years of the insurance days. I soon realized I was the only College Grad in the entire company....(BBA in Business & Marketing) I brought them into the computer estimating world with Exactimate and Facebook, Linked in, and internet marketing.
Then the light at that point I said, time to move on, I took the best crew and the other top notch salesmen. and we teamed up with our other Partner, Todd. John and I have been through alot of very similar situations and are very good friends and we all seemed to just come together and do excellent work, We help people that can’t afford it, and the next week may do massive $250,000 job.
We decided we would be different from the used car salesman mentality of most roofing companies & show the customer what the job costs and what we make.
Now that's an Honest roofer.
We also have a price guarantee same, quality shingles, hand nailed with all the bells and whistles and I will still beat not only their price, andt my crews are the best! They work so well together, are crews are polite, effcient and respectful of your property..
