Bumble Roofing, a technology-focused roofing repair and installation company, announced its expansion into the St. Louis metropolitan area with plans to open eight new territories. The move will create more than 160 jobs and generate roughly $40 million in annual local economic activity, addressing the growing demand for reliable, transparent roofing services across the region.

Following its acquisition by Empower Brands in 2023, Bumble Roofing set out to incubate and franchise its business model to take its modern roofing solutions across the country. Bumble Roofing's entry into St. Louis comes at a time when the region's demand for reliable roofing services continues to rise. With aging housing stock in historic neighborhoods, rapid growth in suburbs such as Chesterfield, O'Fallon, and St. Charles, and recurring severe weather, including hail and windstorms that routinely impact the metro, Bumble Roofing has identified a strong need for ethical, transparent, and technology-driven roofing services.

"As Bumble Roofing expands into the St. Louis region, we see an opportunity to partner with entrepreneurs who want to make a real impact in their community," said David Bitan, founder and brand president of Bumble Roofing. "St. Louis residents value honesty, craftsmanship, and accountability—all of which align with our mission. Whether it's helping a homeowner recover from a storm or supporting a franchisee as they grow their business, our goal is to raise the bar for service and reliability."

Bumble Roofing combines transparent pricing with modern tools that simplify the customer experience. Its proprietary roof-scanning and visualization technology produces accurate estimates, while its digital project tracker keeps homeowners informed from inspection to completion. The brand's focus on fairness means customers never face upselling or pressure-based tactics, even during emergency situations.

"Owning a Bumble Roofing franchise has been a rewarding experience," said Clayton Edrington, owner of the Tacoma, Washington territory. "The brand's technology and support make operations efficient, and customers appreciate the honesty. It's a business that does right by people, which is rare in this industry."

Bumble Roofing's franchise model allows individuals with general business or management experience to enter the home services industry without prior construction knowledge. Franchisees receive full operational training, marketing support, and access to the brand's digital tools. Total investment for a Bumble Roofing franchise ranges from $164,000 to $261,000, including the initial franchise fee. Qualified U.S. military veterans and first responders receive a special discount.
