Raise the Roof
The HOOD by Morgan Shawver
Episode notes
Roofs don't come up in conversation until they're a problem. And by then, the stress has already set in.
In this episode, Morgan sits down with Zach McRae, owner of Near Me Roofing, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of buying or selling a home. Zach has worked with 600+ agents across Central Ohio, and he does not sugarcoat anything.
They cover why the insurance-based roofing model is collapsing, what to do before you ever call your insurance company, how to read a roof inspection without panicking, and why the first call most homeowners make after damage is exactly the wrong one.
Plus, Zach shares how he went from running retail stores to building one of Columbus's fastest-growing roofing companies, and the grandfather who shaped every bit of it.
