Durability and trust are the building blocks of any successful roofing or solar project. Customers want confidence that their investment will last and that the professionals they hire are transparent in every step. Six industry leaders shared insights on the practices that strengthen both the integrity of installations and the relationships with clients.

Transparent Pricing Builds Confidence
Clear pricing sets the tone for trust. Martin Orefice, CEO of Rent To Own Labs, emphasizes openness about costs, rebates, and payback periods. When homeowners see exactly where their money goes, skepticism fades, and confidence grows.
