Now that I’ve said thanks, there is one small favor I must ask of you. Please take a few moments to fill out and mail in the subscription card found on the outer cover of this month’s issue. Roofing Contractor is sent free-of-charge to many industry professionals, but we must have your input to keep it coming. While you are at it, rip out a subscription card from this or another issue and pass it on to another professional in your office. They’ll appreciate it, and so will we.
Once the “roll-up” process was completed, the business of running the consolidated contracting businesses began. To date, there has been some key management turnover at several of the consolidated firms. Some have struggled with systems integration and developing a culture that would begin to blend the disparate roofing companies into one. Some haven’t even tried, opting to maintain strong individual operations. All have survived the birthing process and have been operating. But just recently, one of the consolidators has had to make the difficult choice to “de-consolidate;” fold up shop and go (as companies) in separate directions.
