In a recent AskARoofer Minisode, host Megan Ellsworth sat down with Stephen Spence, one of the owners of Project Map It, an interactive mapping platform designed to help home and building owners find contractors in their area.
Project Map It’s platform is comprised of over 200 contractors throughout the United States and Canada, providing an easy-to-navigate interactive map for home and building owners to look for contractors in their local area, providing them with all the necessary information to get in contact with the contractor of their choice. Stephen shared, “You can start diving into like, ‘Hey, I'm looking for a coating. I have a commercial property. I'm looking for coatings in the Chicago area,’ and so immediately I have access to a commercial roofing company in my area.”
Stephen mentioned the impact the company’s relationship with The Coffee Shops has made in getting the platform out there into the hands of users. He explained, “[Heidi] was genuinely interested in our product, which has since led us to some really cool collaborations by building maps for RoofersCoffeeShop® and AskARoofer.”
On RoofersCoffeeShop, users have exclusive access to R-Club members, contractors who have their very own directories and information available on the website itself. Stephen added, “The roofing companies that are on this map that are R-Club members are good people, they have certifications, they're part of their local associations, they're part of national associations. They're doing their part in their community, and they won't leave you high and dry. I think that's my favorite part about this map, it is just the inherent trust that you can put into it and know that you're going to call a quality contractor when you find someone on this map.”
