Gerry Hamstra, Residential Sales
Gerry Hamstra has been an integral part of Hamstra Roofing for 24 years. Currently serving as an estimator, he uses his wealth of knowledge to provide clients with suitable roofing solutions. His dedication to the role reflects his commitment to quality service, focusing on honesty and open communication.
“As the first point of contact for our customers, it's essential for me to be open and truthful. My goal is to understand their needs rather than just selling them something. I’m not a salesman, but an estimator.” — Gerry Hamstra
Starting as a roofer, Gerry's journey saw him learning various facets of the trade before transitioning into the delivery department. Here, he became the clients' first interaction with Hamstra Roofing, establishing the standard for the company's exceptional service.
“I encounter a diverse range of individuals in my work. Some are easy-going while others are more reserved. Regardless of their demeanor, it's their home, their project.”
Now an estimator, Gerry's customer-centric approach ensures he understands each client's unique needs. His adaptability allows him to connect effectively with all sorts of clients, deriving satisfaction from this human aspect of his job.
Gerry and his team relish the complexity that different roofing projects bring, be it elaborate houses or simple ranch-style homes. Their knack for solving diverse roofing issues underscores Hamstra Roofing's versatile capabilities.
“In my personal life, I cherish the moments I spend with my family. My eldest child is following in my footsteps, and has recently joined our company. He enjoys working alongside the team, much like I did in my shingling days. I sometimes miss the camaraderie of being part of a crew.”
When not problem-solving roofing projects, Gerry cherishes family time and outdoor activities. His three children, one of whom recently joined Hamstra Roofing, share his love for the outdoors. Despite the solitary nature of his current role, Gerry fondly reminisces about the camaraderie of being part of a roofing crew.
