In this episode of I Hope This Helps, we sit down with Erik Mattsson of Mattsson Roofing, who just marked 7 years in the roofing and restoration business.
What started as a summer job during his time at the University of Delaware—where he planned to become a psychiatrist—turned into a full-blown entrepreneurial journey. Erik shares how he traded textbooks for tool belts, how he reimagined door-knocking without the cheesy name tag and polo, and the lessons he’s learned from working with customers over the years.
Oh, and we can’t forget the day he fell in love… and off a roof.
We also get into real, no-BS advice for homeowners: how to tell when you actually need a new roof—and how to spot when someone’s just trying to cash in on your leak.
Whether you're a homeowner or an entrepreneur in the making, this episode is packed with hustle, humor, and hard-earned insight.
And if nothing else I Hope This Helps!
