During his 15+ years in the roofing industry, Hector Gervais saw the price of roofing materials and labour rates climb to the point where many people couldn't afford to maintain their roofs. Without timely maintenance, shingles degrade, allowing water to damage the roofs' structure resulting in even higher repair costs. Large roofing companies have to keep prices high in order to pay for their many employees, loads of equipment, advertising, etc. Hector realized that it was possible take on the same jobs and charge a lower price if he could keep his overhead low. He found a niche and Dripfree Roofing was born.
