It's the last afternoon of a tear-off and your crew is pulling up the ground tarps. The blue ones go in the dumpster with the old shingles, and the neighbors who watched for two days still don't know your name.

Isaias came ashore Friday near Destin as a Category 2. Now, from the Panhandle into Alabama, every damaged house looks the same under a blue tarp. Here's how to make sure the neighbors can tell your crew apart when the reroofs start.

Walk your next tear-off from the street. What does the neighbor across the road see? A crew, a dumpster and a few blue tarps that could belong to any roofer in town. That neighbor has a roof the same age as the one you're replacing, and you just spent two days in front of their house without telling them your name. Every October we run one offer built to fix that in a single order. It's the Triple Threat Combo, it's only available this month, and it ends when the supply does.
