How is it that some roofing contractors seem to always have the jump on things? Some seem to struggle while others seem to constantly move forward, always getting the good work and attracting the best people all while making it seem effortless. First bit of news: nothing in the roof-contracting business is effortless. I do not know most of your competitors, but I do know every one of them faces every challenge you face.
I believe in hard work. I believe in contractors who consistently do the right things. I believe in getting paid fairly for the work you do. I believe the most successful contractors are not, however, the ones who work harder or longer hours. I believe they are smarter. So how do contractors get smart and stay smart? They are always in school. A simple concept, but I have seen it work year after year in good times and in bad. The smarter contractors stay that way by continuously educating themselves and investing in the education of their teams. Where do successful roofing contractors go to continue their education? There are many opportunities; you just need to be open to them and make a plan.
