Like any other industry, success in the roofing business requires industry-specific knowledge, business acumen, and practical management skills. Here are three key secrets to success in the roofing business that are often overlooked.
Ensure Quality Workmanship By Strengthening and Motivating Your Labor Force.
Develop and maintain a team of skilled and experienced roofers. We know finding and retaining roofers can be difficult, but once you find them, take care of them. Go the extra mile to be a good employer. You'd be surprised what a box of donuts and coffee can do on a job site. The American Psychological Association reports that almost all employees (93 percent) who reported feeling valued said they are motivated to do their best at work.
You're not on the job site; your team is, and quality workmanship is essential for customer satisfaction and positive word-of-mouth referrals. Do you need help finding and keeping quality workers? RAES has a S.A.F.E. Hiring Program to help you navigate the hiring and retention process for the roofing industry.
Optimize Your Business Management and Efficiency.
Effective planning and scheduling are critical to a successful roofing company. Efficiently plan and schedule projects to maximize productivity and meet deadlines. A well-organized workflow helps reduce downtime and ensures timely completion of projects. Keep a close eye on costs, including labor, materials, and overhead expenses.
Efficient cost management contributes to profitability and competitiveness in the market. Equally important is accurate job estimation and bidding. RAES is your end-to-end solution for winning, planning, executing, and getting paid for more roofing jobs.
Invest in Quality Marketing and Branding For Your Roofing Company.
In today's digital age, having a professional website and a presence on social media platforms is crucial. Showcase your completed projects, customer testimonials, and services. Build relationships with suppliers, contractors, and other professionals in the construction industry. Networking can lead to valuable partnerships and referrals.
Encourage satisfied customers to refer your services. Implementing a referral program can incentivize clients to recommend your roofing business to friends, family, and colleagues. Request your marketing audit from RAES. Our experienced team is here to help you stand out in a crowded market.
