The Client

Gunner is the superior roofing, siding, and window company in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. The company was founded by two brothers who saw a need in the contractor and construction industry—the combination of excellent work with exceptional customer service. Eddie and Andrew Prchal set out to fill that need. They built Gunner upon the core principle that the secret to success is to do the common thing uncommonly well.

The Challenge

Enhance the customer experience for Gunner Roofing by offering a fully digital, seamless, and user-friendly platform for obtaining roofing quotes and making purchases.

The Solution

Using WP Engine Headless WordPress for headless WordPress, Click Here Labs was able to reimagine the Gunner Roofing website with improved performance and caching capabilities as well as added functionality, including a 3D visualization tool. The flexibility of Headless WordPress, with its multi-tenant architecture, has also allowed the agency to quickly spin up the same app for multiple purposes as it continues to grow, catering to the diverse needs of clients without relying on a single-purpose solution.
