The OpenbooQ platform was built specifically to remove these unnecessary overhead costs and pass the savings directly to the homeowner. "Sitting at kitchen tables for years, I saw firsthand how unfair the traditional roofing model is to homeowners," said Michael Chesbrough, Co-Founder and CEO of OpenbooQ. "People are paying for layers of middleman markups and aggressive sales pitches instead of just paying for a good roof. We built OpenbooQ to cut the nonsense. We're giving people premium materials at wholesale prices and total transparency, plain and simple." Patrick Salyers, Co-Founder and CFO of OpenbooQ, added: "When you cut out the heavy overhead and the hefty sales commissions, the savings are massive. We aren't cutting corners on the roof itself; we're just cutting out the bloated sales process. It feels great to build a model that keeps thousands of hard-earned dollars right where they belong—in the homeowner's bank account." **How OpenbooQ Changes the Game** Homeowners can now design, purchase, and schedule their new roof entirely from the comfort of their home. The platform's disruptive model includes: - Instant, AI-Powered Estimates: Utilizing OpenbooQ AI, SmartPick™, and RoofMatch Technology™, homeowners receive accurate pricing in approximately 30 seconds based on data, not salesperson recommendations. - 0% Material Markup: Premium roofing materials are sold at true wholesale cost. - Total Transparency: Fully line-itemed pricing ensures customers see exactly where every dollar goes, with a clear breakdown of materials, standardized labor, and a transparent 10% platform fee. - Unprecedented Accountability: Every project includes an assigned Project Manager, strict quality control inspections, and installation crews operating with body cameras for ultimate peace of mind. **Led by Industry Veterans** To execute this vision, OpenbooQ has assembled a powerhouse executive team that blends deep roofing industry experience with top-tier technological and operational expertise: - Michael Chesbrough, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) - Patrick Salyers, Co-Founder & Chief Financial Officer (CFO) - Alex Skelton, Chief Operations Officer (COO) - Chuck Gamkong, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) - Justin Fahey, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) - Angel Kimble, Chief Partnership Officer (CPO) With capital secured, elite equity partners locked in, and a leadership team that fundamentally understands the flaws of the traditional market, OpenbooQ is positioned to scale rapidly from its Dayton headquarters and redefine the standard for home improvement nationwide. **About OpenbooQ** OpenbooQ is a direct-to-consumer roofing platform designed to bring e-commerce efficiency, transparent line-item pricing, and high-quality installations to homeowners.
