Be a Hometown Hero: Grow Your Local Footprint & Fight Corporate Greed

Introduction

In an age where small businesses battle against corporate giants, your choices wield immense power in shaping the economic landscape of your community. Join us in the Local Footprint Initiative, a movement dedicated to fortifying our local economy through mindful purchasing decisions. By choosing to expand your local footprint, you are taking heroic steps to strengthen your community.

What is the Local Footprint?

A “local footprint” measures the impact of your economic activities on the local economy—the larger your footprint, the more robust and vibrant your community becomes. Expanding this footprint means promoting local business, cultural vitality, and community bonds.

The Trickle-Up Effect

Often, when consumers choose multinational corporations or private equity-backed companies, they inadvertently contribute to a ‘trickle-up’ effect. This effect describes how vast sums of money AND POWER flow upward, concentrating wealth in the hands of a few mega investors and external shareholders, often at the expense of local economies.

Example 1: Home Depot and SRS Distribution

A prime example of this phenomenon is Home Depot’s acquisition of SRS Distribution, one of the largest roofing distributors in the United States. This acquisition funnels profits that could support local suppliers and distributors into the pockets of Home Depot’s shareholders, reducing the economic benefits for local communities. For more details, click here. Institutional investors make up 70% of Home Depot’s shares with THE VANGUARD GROUP & BLACKROCK being the largest shareholders!!! Does your roofer buy from SRS Distribution AKA BlackRock?

Example 2: Skywalker Roofing and Private Equity

Similarly, Skywalker Roofing’s acquisition by a private equity firm illustrates how local businesses, once community-focused, can shift to prioritizing returns for distant investors rather than reinvesting in their local area. This shift often leads to cost-cutting measures that can affect service quality and job security for local employees. For further information, click here.

  Quinn was an absolute lifesaver. He was ready and available at a moments notice. Easy to communicate with and always responded within a reasonable timeframe, most often right away. He came multiple times to help problem solve and gave honest advice and feedback.

  Can’t say enough nice things about MCSquared Roofing as well as the owner. The owner was polite, professional and educated me on the different roofing options to help me make the best decision for my needs. My roof looks beautiful, the work was quality and the clean up was immaculate.
Five stars for sure.

  Many thanks to Quinn with McSquared Roofing for being my untiring advocate from filing my insurance claim to convincing the insurance company to honoring it; and to making it possible for my roof to finally be replaced.  So, if you are looking for a roofing company with a team who is courteous, kind, honest, dependable, and has your best interests at heart, call McSquared Roofing as they are the best.

  Quinn and team should receive more then 5 stars, 10 plus if possible . He puts the customers needs first and goes out if his way to do the best job . We had a complicated job due to a storm and multiple layers and he even helped me through the process .   The job it’s self (two new roofs on one propery) is perfect. It’s clear he takes pride in all he does .  I’m confident the roofs will stand the test of time . In a world we’re people take short cuts it’s refreshing to find someone who actually cares .

  This review comes as a second part to my review of Skywalker roofing. DO NOT settle for waiting a month to get a leak fixed. These guys did it 3 business days after I contacted them. I had originally gotten a quote from Skywalker for the repair and waited weeks to get on their schedule. I got fed up to the point of calling MC to see if it could get done faster to avoid further water damage and pests during the wet summer months. I was very happy with the lower price MC quoted as well as the efficiency in which these guys came out to inspect and get the work done. Don't settle for waiting, waiting causes more damage and more repair. Well done MC. Will definitely recommend yall.

  Quinn was absolutely the best to
Work with. He was the only one to call me back when looking for a quote. Came out assessed my roof and gave me several options to fix it. Awesome and straight forward.

  In the wake of an intense storm, I found myself with a displaced gas vent. After doing a Google search, I found MCSquared Roofing. I called Quinn and not only did he come the same day, he showed up ON TIME! As someone who has interacted with various contractors over the years, this punctuality is nothing short of a marvel. He reattached the gas vent and made sure the other one was also secure, all within less than 30 minutes. And he didn't even charge me!

I am genuinely blown away by the service quality, speed, and above all, the genuine care demonstrated. Seriously, this guy needs to teach a master class on how to run a business. I'd entrust Quinn with my roof any day and highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch roofing service! ⛅🔨🏠

  I just want to tell you about Quinn’s unbelievable helpfulness after a rain storm exposed a leak in my metal roof over the back porch. He came over the same day and applied caulk. Took about half an hour to do. He charged me nothing for this, but suggested I write a nice review, so here it is!
It’s worth noting that I am a new customer, and I now intend to be an established one.
