This is the Markdown version of https://damex.digital/templates/review-request/roofing/ # Review requests for roofers: 8 texts and emails > Roofing jobs are big and infrequent, so each honest review carries weight. Ask once the crew has cleaned up and the homeowner has seen the finished roof, describe the job in plain words, and link to your Google review form. Ask every customer, including insurance jobs and repairs, and never tie a review to a discount, a gift or the final invoice. Published Oct 31, 2026, updated Oct 31, 2026. By Shakhawat Ullah Badhon, Founder, Damex Digital. ## The templates ### 1. After a full replacement ```text Hi [Name], your new roof from [Business] is finished.

After cleanup and the final walk-through, once the homeowner has seen the finished roof. A follow-up after the first heavy rain also works. ### Can I offer a discount for a review? No. Google doesn't allow incentives for reviews, and US rules ban rewards tied to a positive review. ### Should insurance customers be asked too? Yes. Ask every customer the same way, whoever paid. ## Sources 1.
