Independent roofer. The work speaks for itself.

Most roofing companies of any size run a sales layer. Someone comes to your house, measures, quotes and leaves. A different crew shows up on install day. If something goes wrong between those two moments, you are the one holding it together.

Viktor does not work that way, because there is nobody to hand it to. He quotes the roof, he strips it, he papers it and he shingles it. If you have a question three weeks later you call the same number and get the same person.

The trade-off is honest: he takes fewer jobs than a company with four crews. That is the whole model. One roof at a time, done to a standard he is willing to put his own name on.

Ice-and-water membrane along the eaves and valleys. Synthetic underlayment across the deck rather than felt. Vents and flashing set properly instead of sealed over with caulk and hoped for.

None of that is visible once the shingles are on, which is exactly why it is worth asking about before you sign anything, with Viktor or with anyone else.
