It can be hard to do the job well when you are short on staff. With the labor shortages rippling through the roofing industry and a lack of experienced roofers available for hire, it can be difficult to brainstorm how to boost productivity in a way that doesn’t include hiring more people.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "employment of roofers is predicted to grow 2% from 2019 to 2029 ," so it is wise to start strategizing how to get the job done with a smaller crew. But it’s possible to maximize efficiency–and production–with your existing crew. Find out how here.
The conventional “toss it all on the ground” method of roofing may get the job done, but it adds hours to the day. Sometimes it even requires a crew member assigned to cleanup to be stationed on the ground for part, or sometimes even all, of the day.

Don’t let the need to advertise for more roofing employees slow your business down. Streamline material handling and office processes to help your roofing company raise its productivity, and keep an eye on the Equipter blog for more ways to improve your roofing company without hiring more roofers.
