  Eight o seven thirteen ten Wiba Madison in the morning and ask the experts.
• 0:12
  Checking out the local paper the other day and they see their People's Choice winner
• 0:17
  section and kind of paging through and looking around, and suddenly a name jumped
• 0:23
  out at me. And people would say, were you surprised by the name
• 0:25
  you saw? I say, no, I wasn't surprised whatsoever. I was
• 0:28
  happy, and that People's Choice Winner, my friends, was the one and
• 0:32
  only Andrew Larson from Larsen Home Services Best Roofing and Gutter Company, Larson Home
• 0:38
  Services Online, Larsen Home Services dot Com Delpha number six eight five three five
• 0:42
  forty three forty three. That's five three, five forty three forty three Andrew.
• 0:48
  It's got to be good to be recognized, isn't it. You know,
• 0:51
  it felt really good, you know, fifteen years ago or so and
• 0:57
  we started stuff like that didn't really mean anything to me. It's like,
• 1:03
  you know, whatever, like maybe that's not going to happen. But we've
• 1:07
  worked really, really hard, and I don't know how to like I was
• 1:11
  I was. I guess I wasn't surprised. I've always thought that we were
• 1:18
  the best. To be honest, if I sound a little cocky, but
• 1:21
  just the way that our people approach every job and working on every home.
• 1:26
  We're always trying to do the absolute best job that we can by using the
• 1:30
  best products that we can, and we back everything up for life. So
• 1:37
  when you when you when you team that stuff up and you you instill those
• 1:42
  values and everybody that works in your company, you can't not be the best,
• 1:48
  right I mean, so that that that recognition means a lot to us
• 1:53
  because compared to some of the other companies that have been around, they've been
• 1:57
  around a lot longer and be done you know, a lot more roofing than
• 2:01
  we have, because I mean, if a lot of people remember we mean
• 2:04
  we really started off as a gutter company and got into roofing simply because we
• 2:08
  had so many people requesting that they wanted to work with us on their roof
• 2:14
  They wanted to work with us on different projects. And so when we started
• 2:17
  doing roofing back in like two thy twelve, twenty two thirteen, it was
• 2:27
  slow. I wanted to take it slow. I didn't want to rush out
• 2:30
  and do a bunch of roofs. I wanted to do them right, make
• 2:32
  sure that whoever's house we're working on, got the best roof the best experience
• 2:38
  they could. I think the first roof the first year we did it,
• 2:42
  I think we did like four roofs, and you know, now there's days
• 2:45
  we'll be four roofing. Say yes, but but it took. We took
• 2:50
  the time so we knew how exactly what products we wanted to use, how
• 2:53
  to do it right, make the experience great, clean up, and you
• 3:00
  know, now we've gotten to the point where we were voted the best gutter
• 3:04
  and roofing company in Madison, which I don't take lightly. I think it
• 3:07
  it's a phenomenal honor and I know everybody in our company was super pumped about
• 3:13
  it. So yeah, it's it's really exciting. And like I said,
• 3:19
  I've always felt like we were that, but it takes time to get that
• 3:23
  recognition when there's you know, there's some other companies that have been around longer
• 3:27
  and possibly done more work than we have. But I'm always telling my people
• 3:30
  it's not about the amount. It sounds cliche, but it's not. It's
• 3:34
  quality over quantity. Yet we want to do it right with the best stuff
• 3:38
  over just getting a whole bunch of work, which we could get more if
• 3:42
  we wanted, but that's not the point. It's to do it right.
• 3:45
  It's interesting to Andrew when we kind of put this into perspective as having people
• 3:47
  take the time and that's the other thing too, is take the time to
• 3:51
  vote in this is this is people's choice, This is a this is a
• 3:54
  reader's poll, This is asking people what was your experience like if and that,
• 4:00
  And I think that's the big thing is as we talk about, you
• 4:02
  know, the great work that you guys do at Larsenome Services, the reputation
• 4:06
  that follows the work that you guys do and being known as that, and
• 4:10
  have people then take that next step to say, not only did I have
• 4:14
  have a great experience, the craftsmanship was amazing, the communication was amazing,
• 4:19
  Everything about this was so great that I'm going to take the time to select
• 4:24
  and seek out Larsenome Services to make sure they get my vote. That's to
• 4:28
  me, that's that's that's a big thing. As you talked about, you
• 4:30
  know, we've talked on the show about you know, the larsen experience and
• 4:32
  what really makes Larsenome Services unique and what makes makes the process unique at Larsenome
• 4:39
  Services. At the end of the day seeing that that come around and saying
• 4:42
  it's not just the great work, it's not just the great products, it's
• 4:46
  not just the great installation, it's the great relationship and being recognized for that.
• 4:49
  That to me was when I and I texted you right away when I
• 4:53
  saw it one congratulate you and your team and also let you know that it
• 4:58
  wasn't that surprising because I think at that reputation now is out there that it's
• 5:01
  not just the best work, it's not just the best people, it's just
• 5:04
  a great system top to bottom, exactly. And you kind of hit it
• 5:11
  on the head, you know. I always talk about, you know,
• 5:14
  the products we use with JF products and gutter shutter, it's so much more
• 5:17
  than that because honestly, you can go to any I mean, you can
• 5:23
  go to home depot and get JF shingles, right, I believe they're shingles
• 5:28
  out there. They're great, but you can go buy them anywhere in any
• 5:30
  contractor can buy them. It's not about that. It's about how they're used,
• 5:35
  how they're put on, and the experience of the process. How was
• 5:40
  the communication, how was the sales rep, how was the install crew?
• 5:46
  Were you followed up with buy sales rep buy someone from our office as soon
• 5:50
  as the job was done. Was the job cleaned up to perfection? If
• 5:56
  it's not, we guarantee it will be. Was the job schedule when we
• 6:00
  said it would be scheduled. Was it done in a timely manner, meaning
• 6:04
  when we came out and we agreed upon the project and we said, hey,
• 6:09
  it's gonna be three to four weeks. Was it done within that time
• 6:14
  frame? Was your home protected when we were there. Were we using our
• 6:17
  catch all system where we're using tarpes. Were we covering up vulnerable areas like
• 6:24
  air conditionings, air conditioners. So that's really what it's about. A lot
• 6:30
  of people can put a roof on your house, but we want to make
• 6:34
  it a wonderful experience where we say we're going to come out on this day,
• 6:39
  it'll be done, it'll be clean, and we'll be out of your
• 6:42
  hair. Because getting a new roof put on when it's done looks beautiful can
• 6:46
  change the look of your home. But the process isn't fun. I mean,
• 6:49
  it's it's aggressive. You know, it's you tear a whole bunch of
• 6:56
  shingles off that might have as much as twenty thousand nails up there. It's
• 7:00
  an aggressive process, it's loud, it can be dirty, But did we
• 7:04
  protect your home, did we clean it up? And when it was all
• 7:08
  done, does anything look different besides the roof, It shouldn't. And those
• 7:14
  are our guarantees. And that's what we pride ourselves on it. And that's
• 7:16
  why I think that's one of the reasons why we won this award, is
• 7:21
  just the extra steps that we take to make sure the experience is great.
• 7:25
  The communication is great, the clean up, the scheduling guarantee. It all
• 7:30
  wraps it into a great process and a great experience for the homeowner. And
• 7:33
  that's that's that's what we do. I remember a few years ago when you
• 7:38
  guys did our roof at our house, and and you guys started that morning,
• 7:42
  and I, as an early riser, I generally get home about mid
• 7:45
  day and I'm driving down the street and I have this vision of my in
• 7:47
  my mind of seeing roofers working on my roof. And I'm driving up and
• 7:53
  I noticed right away, all look at how beautiful the roof looks. And
• 7:56
  then I'm like, oh, maybe they're working on the backside or something.
• 7:59
  And I realized the job is already done. The roof looks great, and
• 8:03
  you cannot tell from the ground that anyone was there that day that there isn't
• 8:07
  like you know that my wife has, you know, her flowers and the
• 8:11
  shrubbery that she just loves, all very well manicured, and I pull up
• 8:15
  and it it's still. Look you can't tell anyone was ever day, ever
• 8:18
  there, and that I think is a huge thing. And I'd mentioned to
• 8:20
  you then We've got, of course, like everybody, the ring cameras and
• 8:24
  other things around the house. And I'm watching your crew work. I mean,
• 8:26
  they work fast, they work efficient, but they're very mindful of of
• 8:31
  things like covering up you mentioned the air conditioning, the central air thing.
• 8:35
  I saw them covering that up, the bushes having covering over that as well.
• 8:39
  It's like, this is a this is an amazing system and amazing machine
• 8:43
  knowledge. Does the house look great and perform great? But now you've got
• 8:46
  this great thing. And that's a fantastic thing about working with Andrew and the
• 8:50
  team at Larson Home Services. It is a phenomenal system, a great experience
• 8:54
