David Lupberger draws on more than two decades of experience in the residential remodeling field to work with remodelers in developing proven business systems. Through his work in the remodeling industry, he hopes to redefine the way the remodeling industry operates so that the trust between quality Remodelers, their customers, suppliers, and trade contractors can be leveraged and improved. Lupberger has been involved with custom home building and remodeling for over 30 years. Over 90 percent of his work came from repeat and referral business, demonstrating the trust he developed with clients. That experience in managing customer expectations led him to write a book called, Managing the Emotional Homeowner, which has become one of the bibles of the remodeling industry and helped hundreds of remodelers improve the level of service they provide clients. Lupberger believes fervently that the best customer service only comes when a remodeler can deliver consistent results, which happens only with proven systems. He spent nearly 4 years writing the Remodelers Turnkey Program. This series of manuals is a basic how-to text on running a remodeling company. He recently authored the Home Asset Management Plan, a business system showing contractors how to implement a “client for life” program with their homeowner clients. He travels extensively, speaking to thousands of remodelers across the country and is a regular on the seminar series at national trade shows. He is also a columnist for numerous industry trade magazines. On this episode, we talk about building an exit strategy for your roofing business.

Millie Hindes was born and raised in a suburb of Columbus, OH. Millie was bartending when she met a storm chaser, moved to Portland OR, fell in love with the town, riding a truck, climbing a ladder and getting on roofs, and sweating her “tookus off”... Millie chased storms for a few years, in 9 different cities... then she had her last TERRIBLE boss (story of climbing 10:12) and opened her business about 10 years ago. And YES she is the founder - it is not her father's business, it is not her husband's business... She “OWNs THIS B****!!!” ;) Watergate Roofing: covers up what's inside. What makes them different is the company outlook and motto: Do it right. Do it well. The office is a happy, fun place to be - Nick, her “Beyonce” (we'll expand on that) and she, has learned the importance of positive reinforcement with the staff. “EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES - it's how you fix them that counts.” Millie started taking the growth of the company more seriously after she had Louie, her 4-year-old. Now Watergate Roofing is in a growth phase, and she doesn't have control of everything- which is SUPER difficult to deal with, she says. Millie states, “I don't know all my customers, we get leads off the interweb, they're not all referrals - stuff goes wrong that I don't know about - and I am expected to deal with this sh** like an adult!!” Amanda Fisher is the company's sales coach and management/strategy coach - she helps the company back up out of the day-to-day - so they can see the BIG picture - long-term growth, hiring, firing. Amanda helps Watergate Roofing make important decisions. On this episode, we talk about ways to keep your company at the top of consumers' minds.

Michael Rannigan is a veteran owner of Doc's Roofing, headquartered in Rockwall, TX. Mike (Doc), started the company about eight years ago because he knew a lot of neighbors, friends, and family that just didn't fully understand the insurance and roof replacement process. He believe there weren't a ton of trustworthy individuals and roofing companies out there. With Mike's experience in the business industry, he knew that he could learn the industry inside out and be able to bring value back to his neighbors, family, and community. Michael was a Navy corpsman who joined back in 1999, served till 2006, was stationed with a Marine Corps unit first light armored reconnaissance, was deployed in Afghanistan in 2001- 2002, and then back over in Iraq in 2003 and 2004. So people called Michael, a corpsman. His nickname with them was Doc, and that forever held a great spot in his heart. So he thought, there was no better name that he could come up with for his roofing company than Dr. Roofing because the word is synonymous with help. The word is synonymous with doing the right thing. On this episode, we talk about the key to creating a good customer experience in your roofing business.

Beantown Home Improvements is a family-owned and operated business built around "old school"​ values serving the New England area. The President of the company, Jim DelPrete comes from a long line of builders and construction workers, who have served much the South Shore of Massachusetts. His grandfather, Albert DelPrete, owned & operated DelPrete Construction founded in 1947. This company, which was one of the largest of its time and employed several hundred local workers, not only built hundreds of homes in Massachusetts but was also responsible for building all of the original sea walls from Cape Cod to New Hampshire. Fast forward 30+ years and several of Albert's children; David, Patsy, Mary, and Paul (Jim's father) all owned their own construction companies, and several of their children still build new homes today. What really sets the company apart is, they don't sell, they consult. They meet with clients and listen, they don't pitch. They show up on time, say what they do and do what they say, and stand behind that. Pretty simple and straightforward, yet so many roofing contractors just can't get this right. On this episode we talk about why roofers must do what they say and say what they do.

116: A Roofing Project Manager's Blueprint with Dani Herrera by Jim Ahlin

Adam Olson, owner of Heartland Roofing and Siding was born and raised in Central Iowa. He entered the workforce not knowing what he wanted to do. Adam was fortunate to get a job in residential construction sales that took him from Central Iowa to Chicago and then to Minneapolis before ending back in Central Iowa. Throughout this experience, he learned a lot about the industry but also saw a huge opportunity. The industry standard of how customers are treated was lacking. Adam saw an experience that should be easy, straightforward, and exciting for a homeowner, but as an industry in general, too often he saw poor workmanship, lack of professionalism, and most of all, lack of communication. From there, Adam decided to start Heartland. That decision changed his life in ways he can't even describe, and watching it grow each year has been incredibly rewarding. In his free time, Adam loves spending time with his wife and their four boys. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment in their house because the boys never seem to run out of energy!

Sean Kennedy, Owner of American Eagle Roofing got into the industry as a 3rd generation contractor and through his family of tradesmen. Since Sean was a kid he worked in any capacity necessary to help with his family's projects "counting nails and sweeping floors". Later, Sean got into business for himself as a general contractor doing all aspects of construction and wearing all hats. American Eagle Roofing came from the feeling that doubling down on a single trade would amplify the ability to scale and focus on his craft. The business has become a home for a multitude of folks that are now seen as family and treat the company as their own. The company has grown a name for itself by using transparency and relentless effort to keep a culture they can be proud of. On this episode we talk about starting a roofing business with no money.

We started the Roofing Success podcast in the fall of 2019, and we released the first episode in early October. We weren't very consistent at first but through time we started to build that consistency. Around June of 2020, we got into a flow where we were doing an episode every two weeks. Since January of 2021, we have been putting out a weekly episode for you. And in that time, I have gotten to speak with some really amazing contractors, really amazing and thoughtful people in the roofing industry. One of the things that I like to ask contractors at the end of every episode is "what is the greatest insight that they can share with our audience that has helped them find success". And so what we've done is categorized the topics from their answers. A lot was around putting your customer first. Another big topic was around education and continuous learning and developing your skillset. The next category was caring for people, your employees, and the customer. Another big one was building relationships. On this episode, we're going to go back through our first 100 episodes and talk about our guest's greatest insights on how they have found success in roofing.
