Join fellow roofing contractors to discuss how running a roofing business isn’t only about what happens on the roof.
Suggested questions:
- Many contractors are seeing increased bid work despite signs of a slowing economy; this mostly is driven by cancelled/delayed bids put out for rebids. What challenges does this pose, and how do you best handle submitting similar bids multiple times?
- Supply chain issues have mostly abated, but getting paid on escalation clauses has become more difficult. How have you addressed this issue?
- We’ve all tried luring workers with signing bonuses and higher wages, but that sometimes isn’t enough to retain them. What else are workers looking for aside from money?
- Are you partnering with local high schools or CTE schools? What outreach efforts have been successful? How do you attract not only a future worker but also their parent(s) who may not see roofing as a viable career for their child?
- Roofing companies are operating with leaner staffs. Are you cross-training staff to fill other roles? What roles lend themselves best to cross-training, and how have workers responded? Is compensation changing as a result?
