Why Trust Chad Fletterich

The insider perspective you can't get anywhere else.

"I spent years on the other side of the table — writing quotes, running presentations, and closing contracts. I know how these numbers are built. Now I make sure you do too."

Chad Fletterich brings something genuinely rare: 15 years inside the home improvement industry — thousands of in-home presentations and contract signings across roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and gutter protection — combined with 16 years as an active, licensed insurance professional managing risk for clients across the U.S.

He doesn't just look at your quote as paperwork. He looks at scope risk, contract risk, pricing risk, reputation risk, and homeowner exposure. That's the difference between a second opinion and a risk review.

North Coast Home Advocate is not anti-contractor. Many contractors do excellent, honest work. Chad's job is to make sure you have the information needed to tell the difference — before you sign, not after.

What We Look At

A thorough review of every quote.

Your report covers the areas that matter most — a complete picture, not just a price check.

Pricing & Line Items

  • Is the overall price in a reasonable range?
  • Are line items clearly explained?
  • Are there vague or catch-all charges?
  • Does materials pricing match market rates?

Scope of Work

  • Is the scope clearly defined?
  • Are materials and brands specified?
  • What is and isn't included?
  • Are there items that may be missing?

Warranty & Contract Terms

  • What warranty is being offered?
  • Are manufacturer warranties included?
  • What are the payment terms?
  • Are there contract clauses worth questioning?
What's at Stake

The stakes are higher than you think.

These are some of the largest purchases a homeowner will ever make. Pricing varies dramatically — knowing whether your quote is fair is information worth having.
