The opportunity for resellersMake discounted shingles part of your product offering.
These discounted shingles can help independent distributors serve budget-conscious customers, develop a niche, and create attractive margin opportunities.
SMOOSI is not appropriate for every roofing distributor or project. Our team helps you understand available options and known product limitations before you purchase.
Sold as generic products
SMOOSI shingles are manufactured in the United States by major roofing manufacturers and sold as generic products, without manufacturer branding or manufacturer warranties. Under agreements with manufacturers, most SMOOSI shingles are removed from their original packaging and repackaged in generic packaging that excludes manufacturer names and warranty information.
