  • 479: Why Most Roofing Companies Stay Stuck
    May 15 2026

    Most roofing companies don’t have a lead problem — they have a systems problem.

    In this episode, Dave Sullivan sits down with John DeLaurie to talk about:

    • what top roofing contractors are doing differently
    • why so many companies stay stuck operationally
    • lead generation that actually works
    • sales process and follow-up
    • answering the phone and speed to lead CRM systems and automations
    • building a roofing business that runs profitably

    John also shares insights from talking with contractors around the country and what separates companies that are growing from those that stay stuck.

    Next week, Dave and John get into the next two legs of the stool — doing the work and keeping score — where most roofing companies really start losing money.

  • 478: How to Build a $500K Service Truck (Roofing Maintenance Step-by-Step)
    May 11 2026

    If you’re a roofing contractor tired of chasing jobs and inconsistent revenue… this episode will change how you think about your business.

    In this episode, I sit down with Bryan Mitchell to break down how to build a profitable repair and maintenance division—and why it can be one of the most overlooked opportunities in roofing.

    1. We walk through it step-by-step:
    2. Why only 5–7% of roofs get replaced each year
    3. How service creates recurring revenue
    4. What a service division actually looks like
    5. How to start (even if you’re small)
    6. The numbers behind a $500K service truck
    7. How to find opportunities and win the work
    8. The biggest mistakes contractors make

    This isn’t theory—this is how real roofing businesses build profit, stability, and long-term value.
