That’s why we make such a great effort to ensure that you receive the professional, dependable service you deserve. Back in the late eighties, we were the first wholesale distributor of roofing materials to offer 2-man rooftop delivery of shingles to the builders and contractors of Michigan, and we continue to innovate with industry-leading equipment, technology, and practices. From the rigorous maintenance of our fleet of late model trucks & equipment to the demanding nature of our training and safety programs, everything we do is geared towards making your delivery as painless and hassle-free as possible. Convenience Our 2-man teams will load your roof job without assistance, saving you time and money. You don’t have to be on site to supervise, let alone catch. From the 15 square, 3-tab re-roof on a modest 4/12 pitch ranch home to the 50+ squares of architectural luxury shingles on a 12/12 pitch new custom home, you’ll receive the same level of dependable, professional service.

Property Safety. Material Safety. We take the safety of our workers and customers very seriously. That is why...

We employ a dedicated full-time Director of Safety to train our operations and delivery staff and audit our delivery procedures throughout the year. • All Drivers and Roof Loading Specialists undergo over 30 hours of safety training per year. All Drivers and Roof Loading Specialists wear harnesses and utilize fall protection equipment as needed when loading the roof. • Every Driver and Roof Loading Specialist is audited 6 times per year - twice by the Director of Safety and quarterly by the branch Operations Manager - to coach best practices and ensure proper roof loading.

Q&A withWimsatt OperationsThe Components of Dependable Delivery

Why a Driveway Waiver?Our equipment is heavy.Wemakeeveryefforttotreadlightly and not disturb theproperty at the jobsites wedeliverto.Becausedrivewaydamage can sometimesoccur, our Roof Loading Specialists present a drivewaywaivertothehomeowner. Thisallowsthehomeownertomakeaninformeddecisionaboutthedeliveryofmaterials.

What Are Shingle Support Nailers?We use yellow boards calledShingle Support Nailers tosecure rooftop deliveries.They provide support toshinglesandrolls,preventingthemfromslidingofftheroofand causing an accident. Our rooftop deliveries not only look professional, they are the safest in the business.

How Do You Verify the Accuracy of My Order?Every load is checked at least 3 times before it gets delivered to your rooftop - once bythe Materials HandlingSpecialist who picks yourorder,oncebytheWarehouseManagerasitgetsloadedonthetruck,andoncebytheRoofLoadingSpecialistbeforethematerialscomeoffthetruck.
