The Catch-All’s NAIL CATCH downspout filters help protect homeowners from nails and debris after a roof repair or roof replacement. The Catch-All is a unique company that has been transforming jobsite protection for roofing contractors, reducing the risk of work-related damage and costly customer callbacks, while earning trust, positive reviews, and the all-important customer referral leads. The NAIL CATCH is a remarkably simple but effective next step in improving the roofing customer experience.
Made from patented hydrophobic material, NAIL CATCH filters are installed over customer gutter downspouts during a roof repair or replacement to prevent nails and debris from washing onto driveways and landscaping after rain weather events. When full (after the first substantial rainfall), homeowners simply dispose of the full filters by removing the reusable zip ties. Best of all, a box of 15 filters has an MSRP cost of less than $25 to roofing contractors, reducing the risk of costly callbacks — a small price for some big peace of mind.
“We’re always listening to our customers,” said Eric Mackintosh, the company’s co-founder and new product development leader. “Customer complaints about nails have always been a challenge for roofers, and the nails that appear after the job is finished are particularly tricky, as they can wash out from gutter downspouts weeks later. This new NAIL CATCH product cost-effectively helps solve that. We’re thrilled to bring this exciting new roofing solution to market.”
“After implementing The Catch-All Job Site Protection System, our calls went down drastically, but we were still getting some and we really couldn’t figure out how or why,” added Heath Hicks, co-founder of The Catch-All and owner of AVCO Roofing. “It took us a little while to realize that it was actually nails and granules washing out of the downspouts after a hard rain.”
“Most contractors are just unaware that it was really even a problem because they will get the call and just send someone to go clean it up. They just assume it is a nail leftover from the installation process in a flowerbed, but there are nails on the roof when the job is complete. There are times the last nail in the coil will fly out of the gun and you don’t get them all because they don’t roll off easily. Rain also brings a ton of granules down. Shingle manufacturers actually include extra granules in packages — called ‘hitchikers’ — to separate the shingles and to be sure that there’s enough getting pressed into the shingle the whole time it’s being stored, and they are designed to fall out and wash out.”
“Knowing — and learning — all of this, we invented this filter to be attached to the downspouts during your installation process. After a good rain, the homeowner can go outside and just slide it off and throw it away. It’s very simple for the homeowner to do, and it also creates a cool moment where they’re really thankful that you put NAIL CATCH on the downspouts. They see the debris that would be in their yard or their flower bed, or on their driveway or coming from the downspouts right under the sidewalk — right outside the front door. It creates a moment where they realize you’re taking care of them. I love that connection — it’s why we’re doing this.”
