Sound Familiar?
You started this for more time, more money, less stress. Here's what you actually got.
You Are the Business
Every roof job carries liability and safety risk. Your insurance reflects it. You're pricing to cover risk, but customers only see price. Weather delays cascade through your calendar.
The Money's There But It's Not Yours
Storm season brings money fast, then goes quiet. You hire for the rush, then scramble to keep people busy. Your team is a revolving door. Continuity and quality suffer.
The Busy Trap
Steel and tile costs are volatile. You've quoted a job, then material pricing jumps 15% before start date. You're absorbing the cost or re-quoting and losing the job.
Staff Headaches Without a Playbook
Roofing work is knowledge-intensive: fall safety, building codes, material compatibility. You're on every job checking quality because mistakes are expensive and dangerous.
