OpenbooQ Officially Goes Live in Dayton; Announces Patrick Salyers as Co-CEO and Reports Homeowner Savings of Over 40%

The Dayton Area Can Now Access AI-Driven, Direct-to-Consumer Roofing Systems with Guaranteed Professional Installation and Full Warranties

DAYTON, Ohio, Apr. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenbooQ, the technology-driven roofing platform, is proud to announce that it is officially live and operational in the Dayton, Ohio area. Coinciding with the launch, the company has named Co-Founder Patrick Salyers as Co-Chief Executive Officer, joining Michael Chesbrough at the helm to lead the company's aggressive national expansion.

 A Full-Service Roofing Company OpenbooQ is a comprehensive roofing company that manages the entire lifecycle of a project, from the initial AI-driven estimation to the final professional installation. Unlike standard estimating websites that simply provide data, OpenbooQ is a direct-to-consumer platform that delivers high-quality, fully installed roof replacements. Customers can now use the platform at www.openbooq.com

"We couldn't think of a better place to launch Openbooq than right here in our hometown of Dayton, Ohio," said Co-CEO Patrick Salyers. "Starting in our own backyard keeps us grounded in our community."

"And it's the perfect launchpad for our broader vision," added Co-CEO Michael Chesbrough. "We are setting out to fundamentally change the roofing industry. By building a model that is strictly consumer-first, we are finally able to drive down costs significantly and put the power back in the homeowners' hands."

Real World Savings: Slashing Costs by 40-50% As OpenbooQ concludes its initial projects in the region, the data confirms a massive price gap between OpenbooQ and traditional roofing contractors. Recent local projects highlight the "OpenbooQ Advantage":

• Project A: OpenbooQ completed a full roof replacement for $9,499.60, whereas the competitor's quote for the same project, with comparable materials was $17,579.00—a savings of $8,079.40 (46%).
   
• Project B: OpenbooQ delivered a premium roof for $12,195.63, again significantly lower than the competitor's quote of $20,438.00—saving the homeowner $8,242.37 (40%).

"These numbers aren't anomalies; they are the result of removing the 80% to 120% markups typically added for sales commissions, material and labor markups and overhead. This is all done without cutting quality. We are only installing fully warranted roofing systems," said Michael Chesbrough.

New Leadership for a New Era Stepping into the role of Co-CEO, former CFO Patrick Salyers will drive the company's financial strategy, marketing efforts, revenue generation, and administrative functions, anchoring the brand's commitment to a "transparency-first" mission. Salyers joins Michael Chesbrough, who will continue his leadership as Co-CEO by spearheading the company's technological advancements, market expansion, and day-to-day roofing operations.

"I am honored to serve as Co-CEO as we officially open our doors to the Dayton community," said Patrick Salyers. "Our mission is simple: keep more money in the homeowner's pocket. We aren't just telling people we can save them money; we are proving it with every roof we install".

How OpenbooQ Works By offering 0% material markups and a flat 10% platform fee, OpenbooQ provides a level of transparency never before seen in the industry. Every project includes:

• Instant AI-Powered Estimates: Receive a fully transparent estimate in under 30 seconds, eliminating the need for commissioned salespeople.
   
• Wholesale Pricing: Premium materials are provided at true market cost.
   
• Unmatched Accountability: Installation crews utilize body cameras to ensure every shingle is laid to the highest professional standard. Additionally, a dedicated project manager is assigned to every job to oversee the process from start to finish.

"We haven't sacrificed an ounce of quality to cut costs. Our customers are receiving the same high-quality, fully warrantied roofs they expect from a traditional roofing company, but with a significantly better experience while saving 30-50%," added Alex Skelton, Chief Operations Officer.
