Radical transparency includes the people on the roof.

The roofing industry is plagued by “ghost crews”—subcontractors of subcontractors who are often underpaid and uninsured. This creates a race to the bottom that compromises the integrity of your home.

At Mete, we publish our labor rates. Every worker on a Mete site is paid a living wage, verified by our ledger. When you see the Labor line in your estimate, you are seeing exactly what is being distributed to the hands that build your roof. No skimming. No hidden margins.
