Not an offer or a contract
Nothing on this site — a page, a form, a price, a timeline — creates an agreement between you and anybody. There is no company here to be bound by one.
Terms of use
This is a demonstration, and it says so
Granite Ridge Roofing is a fictional business built to show how a storm-and-insurance roofing site could be organised. Nothing on it is an offer, an estimate, a warranty or advice.
Start here
The business on this site does not exist
Granite Ridge Roofing is invented. So is the address in Knoxville, so is the phone number, so is the crew, and so is the June storm that the job log is dated against. The site exists to demonstrate a way of organising a roofing company's website around the sequence of a storm claim rather than around a catalogue of products.
Everything on it should be read in that light. The pages are written in the voice of a company that behaves a particular way — photographs before it covers a roof, names the days when nothing will happen, prints two columns on an estimate. That is the argument the design is making. It is not a description of services you can buy.
By using this site you accept that. If you need a roof looked at, you need a real contractor in your own area, and the questions on the choosing-a-roofer page are worth taking with you when you go and find one.
Four things nothing here is
What this site does not create
A demonstration can look convincing enough to be mistaken for a commitment. These are the four mistakes worth ruling out explicitly.
Not an estimate
No figure, range, allowance or line item anywhere on this site is a quotation for work on any building. The scope pages describe a document format, not a price.
Not a warranty
No term, period, coverage or guarantee is stated or implied. The pages that discuss warranties describe how the two kinds differ, not what anybody is offering you.
Not advice
Nothing here is legal, insurance, financial, structural or engineering advice. The field notes describe how a process is shaped. Your policy, your building and your parish are yours.
No claim outcome is stated or implied anywhere on this site. Not on the insurance pages, not in the field notes, not in the job log. No approval, denial, payout, settlement figure or deductible appears on any page, because none of those belongs to anybody but you and your carrier.
Using the site
The ordinary conditions
Accuracy
The content is provided as it is, without any warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a purpose. Timelines, day counts and process descriptions are illustrative of how storm work tends to run; they are not commitments, and real weather, real carriers and real material supply do not read websites.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, nobody involved in producing this site is liable for any loss arising from your use of it or from reliance on anything in it. If you act on something you read here without checking it against your own building, your own policy and your own contractor, that is a decision you have made on your own.
Content and code
The design, the code, the photography and the writing are a portfolio piece and remain the property of the studio that produced them. You may read the site, link to it, and quote it with attribution. You may not present it as your own work or redeploy it as a live business site without permission.
Links off this site
The site links outward in a small number of places. Those destinations are not ours and we do not control what they contain or what they store. Once you follow a link away from this domain, the terms and privacy practices of wherever you have arrived apply instead of these.
Forms and messages
The lead forms are part of the demonstration. In this build they post to an address that is configured as an empty string, so nothing is transmitted and no message reaches anyone. Do not send anything you would want a person to read, and do not send anything sensitive. The privacy page sets out exactly what does and does not happen.
Changes
This page describes the site as it is built today. If the build changes — a new storage key, a live webhook, a third-party script — this page and the privacy page change with it. There is no version history to consult; the pages are the statement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Louisiana, which is where the business described on this site is placed — Knoxville, TN. Any dispute would sit with the courts of that state. We name it explicitly because a demonstration site governing a business in one state under the law of another is a copy-paste error, and it is a common one.
Straight answers
Questions about the demonstration
Is Granite Ridge Roofing a real company?
No. It is a fictional business invented for a design demonstration. The name, the address, the phone number, the crew, the job-log entries and the storm they describe are all constructed. Every page carries a demo disclosure in its footer.
Can I hire you?
There is nobody to hire. If you rang the number you would not reach a roofing company. If you have a damaged roof, find a contractor operating in your own area and hold them to the questions on the choosing-a-roofer page.
Are the reviews and the job log real?
No, and they are labelled as illustrative wherever they appear. There is no rating, no review count and no aggregate score anywhere on this site, including in its structured data — a fictional company cannot hold one.
Does anything here tell me what my insurance claim will do?
No, and that is deliberate rather than cautious. No page on this site states or implies a claim decision, an approval, a payout, a settlement or a deductible. Nobody outside your carrier can tell you those, and this site does not pretend otherwise.
Can I reuse the design or the writing?
The site is a portfolio piece. The layout, code, photography and copy belong to the studio that built it and are not licensed for reuse by asking a page politely. If you want to talk about the work, use the contact page.
Which law governs these terms?
Louisiana. The business described on this site is placed in Knoxville, TN, so it would be governed by the law of the state it sits in — anything else would be a mismatch, and mismatched jurisdictions are a reliable sign that a terms page was copied from somewhere else.
