In this video, I’m breaking down what to do when your roofer just won’t pick up the final payment even though your roof and gutters got done months ago.

Alright, so here’s the deal. You’ve spent a good chunk of change, like thirty grand or so, on a brand new roof and gutters, and now you’re stuck with this last three thousand dollars hanging out there. You’ve texted them a bunch, but crickets or vague replies keep coming back. Honestly, a lot of roofers are amazing at the actual work but kinda drop the ball when it comes to the business side. The guy who sold you the job or managed it is probably chasing a dozen other projects right now, so your final payment isn’t top of mind. The best move? Don’t freak out or get salty, just keep sending reminders every five to seven days. Freeze that last check on your end until they come through, but stay polite and patient. Most times, they’ll swing by to grab it once they’ve wrapped up their current hustle. And yeah, this isn’t just roofing, lots of contractors do this same dance where they’re great with tools but slack on the paperwork.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is getting frustrated and pushing too hard or pulling the payment too soon, which can sour the relationship and slow things down even more. Another issue is not keeping a steady line of communication without being annoying, so find that sweet spot of friendly persistence. Lastly, some folks forget to keep records of all their texts and calls, which can be a lifesaver if things get complicated or you need to escalate. The fix? Just stay calm, keep copies of everything, and don’t be shy about polite follow-ups.
