From Firefighting to Future Building: The Must-Attend Leadership Accelerator for Roofing Contractors

Labor is tight, and time is even tighter. For many roofing contractors, growth feels like an uphill battle. Enter the LDR Accelerator, an ongoing leadership development program designed for small roofing business owners to lead confidently, retain talent, and eliminate bottlenecks.  

Developed by a team with over 40 years in the roofing industry, the LDR Accelerator said in a news release that it provides practical tools, proven systems and straightforward coaching for contractors ready to grow but overwhelmed by leadership demands.  

“We’ve spent decades working with roofing companies behind the scenes — supporting owners, solving team problems, and helping them scale,” Melissa Chapman, CEO and co-founder of The GLO Group, developer the LDR Accelerator, said. 

“We know how isolating it can be when everything falls on you,” she added. “You don’t need theory. You need clear steps, reliable tools, and a support system that gets it.”  

Why Roofing Contractors Choose LDR:  

  • Built on 40-plus years inside the industry: We’ve worked alongside hundreds of roofing leaders, understanding their pressures and guiding their growth.  
  • Led by proven business builders: Our subject matter experts have scaled real companies and know how to lead teams that actually perform.  
  • Ongoing membership model: Join when you're ready and grow at your pace — with continued support as your business evolves.  
  • Made for contractors: No corporate fluff. Just direct, digestible lessons and tools you can apply immediately.    
  • It solves the real problems: From crew retention to communication, vision to accountability, this is the leadership training you never got but always needed.  

Whether you’re working to stabilize a growing team, struggling to retain good employees, or mired in everyday decisions, the LDR Accelerator provides the structure, confidence, and guidance to lead effectively and build a sustainable business.  

“The labor crisis isn’t just about finding people — it’s about keeping them,” Chapman added. “Leadership is the missing link in most small roofing companies; that’s what we deliver.”  

Enrollment is open now, with new contractors joining monthly. 

Roofing business owners under $10M in revenue who are ready to lead better, grow faster, and stop doing it all alone can apply at LDRaccelerator.com.
