The NH Roofing Company Site Inspection
AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME 2 HOURS OR LESS quantified SLA on the hero (screenshots/home__desktop__1_load.png) is best-in-class urgency framing for roofing — most contractors offer vague 'fast response' or no time commitment at all. Combined with the '3 Steps To Working With Us' process strip on scroll (screenshots/home__desktop__2_scroll.png), it answers the buyer's primary anxiety with a measurable promise. The Fervor Grade™ National Site Inspection scored nhroofing.com at 70/100 — Grade C, Conditional.
Methodology note. This Site Inspection applies the Fervor Grade™ 2.5 National Site Inspection framework to five key conversion pages on nhroofing.com. Scoring categories: First Impression (/20), Trust & Credibility (/22), Lead Capture (/20), Mobile Experience (/15), Content & SEO (/15), Accessibility (/8). Pages are weighted by conversion funnel role: Homepage ×0.15, Location Finder ×0.20, Location Page ×0.30, Service Page ×0.20, Lead Capture ×0.15. Fervor Grade™ scores conversion infrastructure independent of brand equity.

What's Done Well
AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME 2 HOURS OR LESS quantified SLA on the hero...
- AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME 2 HOURS OR LESS quantified SLA on the hero (screenshots/home__desktop__1_load.png) is best-in-class urgency framing for roofing — most contractors offer vague 'fast response' or no time commitment at all. Combined with the '3 Steps To Working With Us' process strip on scroll (screenshots/home__desktop__2_scroll.png), it answers the buyer's primary anxiety with a measurable promise.
- Form weight is the dominant lead-capture cost — every captured Gravity Form on every captured page (homepage × 2, /contact × 1, /roofing-types × 2) carries field_count=43 (dom_facts/home__desktop__1_load.json + dom_facts/contact__desktop__1_load.json + dom_facts/roofing-types__desktop__1_load.json). Hero placement is excellent; the field load is excessive for a free-estimate request.
- Mobile is the failure surface end-to-end: lighthouse/home_lh_mobile.json categories.performance=0.39 with TBT '5,370 ms' and TTI '19.7 s' + cta_clickthrough.json no_cta_pages[] shows 10 of 12 mobile secondary pages return cta_text=None + click-to-call digit string stripped to icon glyph (screenshots/contact__mobile__1_load.png). Desktop performance 0.84 masks a real-world conversion gap on the device most roofing buyers use.

- ✗ Critical Gap
Mobile homepage 1_load capture (screenshots/home__mobile__1_load.png) shows a flash-of-unstyled-content state — a raw bullet-list nav and an empty image placeholder where the hero should be. The 3_postcta state (screenshots/home__mobile__3_postcta.png) confirms the page does eventually render correctly, but a 19.7s mobile TTI (lighthouse/home_lh_mobile.json) means real buyers are likely to bounce before styles resolve.
- ✗ Accessibility
Customer Testimonial Videos band (screenshots/home__desktop__2_scroll.png) is rare in roofing — most contractors use text testimonials only. Video carries higher trust transfer; but the accessibility cost is the critical 'image-alt' on YouTube play-button thumbnails (a11y/home__desktop.json image-alt node_count=7) plus 4× serious 'aria-command-name' on the play anchors — same widget, multiple WCAG hits.
Revenue Impact
Conversion Gap Calculation
Step 1 — Traffic Baseline (estimated): NH Roofing Company draws an estimated 5,000–15,000 monthly organic visitors from search and direct traffic. Estimate from third-party tools; actual variance ±30–50%.
Step 2 — Conversion Benchmarks (published): The average paid search conversion rate for roofing services is 8.0–12.0% (LocaliQ 2025, 3,200+ campaigns). The average CPC is $8–$18. Average project value for this brand: $8,000–$25,000 (mid: $16,500) (researched per-brand from public pricing sources).
Step 3 — Conversion Gap Argument (observed): This site has the following conversion gaps observed in the Site Inspection: Mobile homepage 1_load capture (screenshots/home__mobile__1_load | Customer Testimonial Videos band (screenshots/home__desktop__2_scroll
Step 4 — Financial Range:
Assumptions
| Variable | Value | Source / Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly organic visitors (estimated) | 5,000 – 15,000 | Third-party traffic estimates ±30–50% |
| Industry CVR for roofing services | 8.0% – 12.0% | LocaliQ 2025 (3,200+ campaigns) |
| Estimated current site CVR | 5.6% – 8.4% | Scaled by current Fervor Grade weighted score |
| Estimated CVR after fixes | 8.0% – 12.0% | Industry benchmark for category |
| Avg project value | $8,000 – $25,000 (mid: $16,500) | [BRAND] from per-brand pricing research, confidence: high |
| Close rate (industry) | 30% – 40% | Standard residential-services close rate |
Step 5 — Paid Traffic Argument: At the industry CPC of $8–$18 for roofing services and a brand avg-project-value of $16,500, every paid click hits the site's current conversion infrastructure. Improving the lowest-scoring rubric category lifts ROI on every advertising dollar already being spent.
