The nine-brand roofing platform is using technology to standardize data, improve visibility and share best practices without stripping local contractors of their autonomy.
Canopy Services CEO Tim Russell is betting that roofing businesses can share technology, data and successful ideas while retaining the local culture and operating practices that made them successful in the first place.
JobNimbus and RepCard launched a two-way integration that syncs customer, appointment and job-status data between roofing contractors’ field sales and production workflows.
The Labor Department awarded $65 million to community colleges to expand short-term workforce training, including programs targeting construction and the skilled trades.
On-Demand Growth looks different for every business. But for a lot of roofing companies, it starts with the same challenge: a sales team stretched too thin, spending more time on admin than on closing deals. Every hour a rep spends chasing leads, scheduling appointments, or handling administrative work is an hour not spent selling. Over time, that gap can quietly stall growth.
Hiring your first sales support team member is a major milestone. Knowing what comes next, when to add another person, what role to prioritize, and how to keep scaling without losing momentum, is the harder part.
Missed after-hours calls, truck-time paperwork, unanswered reviews, and past-due invoices are money leaving your roofing business every week. AI agents can now do this work. Roofers who deploy them well see more jobs booked from calls they used to miss, crews back on the roof instead of in the truck, reviews answered the same day, and invoices paid sooner. Maven Roofing CEO JT Ulyatt and Zuper CEO Anand Subbaraj show where agentic AI pays for itself first. Not a product demo.
