“Roofing is a lot more emergency-oriented and you have to be really quick at responding,” Triny Beaty says.
That difference is why Verde’s Roofing & Exteriors exists as its own branch. Verde’s Contractors came first. The roofing side opened later, “after we found that there was really a need there,” Beaty says. In her telling, the person who needs help with a roof is “very different from the one looking for a remodel.” A remodel can wait. A leak cannot.
What Beaty saw in that gap was a decision as much as a repair. A homeowner with storm damage has to choose quickly whether to file a claim at all. “I found that there was a really big hole when it came to helping women find solutions in this time crunch,” she says. She describes that homeowner as “not knowing whether to file a claim or not,” and needing feedback “from someone who has your best interest in mind,” someone weighing “the pros and cons of putting a mark on your history with your carrier.”
The company bills itself as woman-owned and operated, and the role Beaty plays for those homeowners is one she learned young. She was raised by a single mother, and she says that meant being responsible “at a really young age.” She did the “translating, interpreting, doing paperwork,” trying to close the communication gap for her mom. When she lists what sets Verde’s apart, the last item sounds familiar: “being able to bridge that gap,” this time the one between a homeowner and what she needs to know about her roof.
The claims work has a legal edge she is plain about. “By law, we’re not actually supposed to review policies,” Beaty says, so Verde’s partners with a team that handles that part. The roofing itself goes to subcontractors the company chose for the job. “Year-round, we do have subcontractors that we’ve specifically picked, that are fully insured, so any homeowner or business owner that works with us is double insured,” she says.
For storm damage, Verde’s lays out a four-step sequence: inspection photos, documentation, a scope of work with guidance, then repairs and a final walkthrough. After a replacement, the company sends a completion report with photos, which it treats as the homeowner’s proof the job was done right. The claims themselves can take patience. One homeowner described a roughly two-month push to get the insurer to pay for a full new roof, with Beaty sending steady updates the whole way.
Beaty came into the business shortly after COVID, when storm work was everywhere. “It was quite the wave, even up until 2023,” she says. “After that, we were no longer a storm market.” Plenty of companies folded, she says, but she did not read the end of the wave as the end of the need. “Everyone who has a home still needs a roof that functions to keep them safe,” she says. Verde’s turned toward homeowners whose houses were simply getting older, offering financing and laying out a plan so they could see what a replacement would do for the home’s value over time.
She holds her team to two values she keeps close together. “It’s a very thin line between being kind and also assertive, which is where empathy and excellence I think meet each other very well,” she says. Empathy is where the connection starts, with teammates and with homeowners. But “if they’re not performing in excellence, too, and they’re slacking, that’s also not going to fly.”
She is specific about the customer who gets her out of bed. “I look forward to waking up and helping a female homeowner who is super busy and bogged down by work, doesn’t know a darn thing about homeownership, but knows that she has to do something about her roof,” she says.
Her plan is to keep growing, and to “see what we can do to infiltrate the market with a bunch of happy female roofing contractors.”
Nobody looks at Beaty and sees a roofing contractor, she says, “so I also like breaking the stigma around what the industry can become.”
