Fair Comparison
Vetted NM Bidder vs. National Roofing Chains
Big-brand roofing has real advantages: standardized process, financing, marketing polish. Here's how a national chain typically scores against our 6-point vetting.
Dimension
Roof Doctor NM
National chains & franchises
NM CID license & bonding
In-state, direct
Held by franchise owner
Crew: employees vs subs
W-2 crews preferred
Almost always subbed out
Marketing overhead in your price
Low — referrals + local
High — TV, radio, national ads
Financing options
Often GreenSky + local CU partners
Yes — often in-house at higher APR
Escalation if something goes wrong
Owner picks up the phone
Corporate call center
NM-specific expertise (UV, monsoon, foam)
Deep — only works here
Playbook is national
Bottom line
Chains are safer than storm chasers, but you're typically paying 15-25% more for the logo. Get their bid on our written scope, then get two local bids on the same scope — the delta usually pays for a material upgrade.
