Editorial tip line

Send us a tip

If you have firsthand information about a roofing contractor — good or bad — we want to hear it. Tips feed our research process; they are not published as crowd-sourced reviews. We investigate every substantive tip independently before any of it shows up on the site.

How tips work at The Roofing Ledger

Your tip goes to the editor. We do not publish tips. They feed our research, not the public site.
We investigate substantive tips independently — calling the contractor, pulling updated BBB records, re-reading recent reviews, checking court filings.
If we confirm something material, we update the contractor’s research record on the relevant market article with a dated note. We do not silently edit.
Your identity is protected from the contractor. We do not forward your name or contact information to the company you’re reporting on.
We weight tips by relationship: a former employee or industry peer carries more signal than an anonymous account. We may follow up to ask for additional detail.

What contractor is the tip about?Company name as it appears on their truck, sign, or paperwork.

What market?Pick the closest. We use this to route the tip to the right editor.

What's your relationship to this contractor?We weight tips by relationship. Anonymous tips get lower weight than ones we can follow up on.

What happened?Be specific. Dates, dollar amounts, names of crew members, photos you have, contracts you signed — the more concrete, the more we can investigate. Minimum 20 characters.

I have documentation I’m willing to share — photos, signed contracts, BBB complaint reference numbers, court filings, or text messages. (We’ll follow up to ask for these directly.)

I attest that the information above is factually accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand The Roofing Ledger may follow up to verify before acting on this tip.

Your tip goes only to the editor. Your identity is protected from the contractor — we never forward your name or contact information to the company you’re reporting on. If anything goes wrong, you can always email editor@theroofingledger.com directly.

What we will and will not do with a tip

We will read every tip, investigate substantive ones, update the contractor’s research record where the tip is confirmed, and credit you anonymously (e.g., “a former crew member reported to The Roofing Ledger”) only if doing so adds context for readers.

We will not publish your tip verbatim, forward your contact information to the contractor, treat your tip as a public review, aggregate tips into a public score, or take action against a contractor based on a single uncorroborated claim.

For corrections to claims we’ve already published, see the corrections policy. For general questions, story pitches, or anything else, email editor@theroofingledger.com directly.
