EPISODE SUMMARYMost roofers chase leads. The best roofers build a brand.In this episode, Dave and Crystal Williams explain why branding—not just ads—is what makes leads cheaper, customers more loyal, and businesses more valuable over time.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONRoofers are obsessed with leads.But leads get more expensive every year — unless you build something that makes people remember you, trust you, and look for you by name.That's called branding.In this episode, Dave Sullivan sits down with Crystal Williams of Lemon Seed Marketing to explain what branding actually means for roofing companies — and how to build it while still generating leads today.They break down:Why most roofers look the sameHow differentiation keeps you out of price warsHow mascots, billboards, trucks, and storytelling really workWhy “direct search” is the real scorecard for brandingAnd why marketing cannot fix broken operationsCrystal also shares the real-world case study of Eminem Roofing and Rufus the Armadillo, showing how consistent branding helped turn a small roofing company into a dominant regional player.If you want cheaper leads, better customers, and a business that's worth more than its trucks — this is where it starts.YOU'LL LEARNWhat branding actually means (it's not your logo)Why differentiation lets you charge moreHow branding and lead gen should run togetherWhy mascots work — if you commitHow to measure branding using direct searchWhy marketing exposes bad operationsWhen it's time to rebrandHow consistent branding lowers your cost per leadTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Why branding matters01:16 – What branding really is03:45 – Storytelling and emotional connection06:45 – Differentiation vs being a commodity09:02 – Brand personality and origin stories13:29 – Eminem Roofing case study17:16 – Rufus the Armadillo and mascots23:24 – When mascots work (and when they don't)29:47 – Ideal customer avatars and audits35:21 – How to measure brand ROI41:14 – Branding is a long-term commitment43:09 – Why marketing can't fix bad operations48:15 – When to rebrand53:45 – Final takeaways54:19 – How to reach CrystalRESOURCESLemon Seed Marketinghttps://lemonseedmarketing.comEmail: hello@lemonseedmarketing.comEmail: crystal@lemonseedmarketing.comLINKSWork with...

EPISODE SUMMARYThis episode was recorded during the roofing boom—when being busy hid bad numbers. Today, work is slower and margins are tighter. Dave explains why job costing is now the difference between surviving and disappearing, and why “gut feel” leaves contractors broke even even when they're busy.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONThis interview was recorded a few years ago when the roofing market was on fire. Phones were ringing, jobs were everywhere, and being busy hid a lot of sins.Today it's different.Jobs are harder to get. Margins are thinner. And the contractors who don't truly understand their numbers—what jobs actually make money, what crews are profitable, what their real labor cost is—those companies won't survive this market.I hear it every week:“Dave, we're working like crazy… but there's never any money in the bank.”That's not bad luck. That's no job costing.Successful contractors job cost every job. Unsuccessful ones run on gut feel—and in this market, gut feel will put you out of business.In this conversation, Dave Sullivan sits down with construction finance expert Leslie Shiner to break down the simple job costing system profitable roofers use to protect margins and make real decisions.You'll LearnWhy “gut feel” lies—and cash proves itThe real reason busy roofers still have no moneyHow to calculate true labor cost (labor burden)Paid hours vs billable hours = labor utilizationWhy labor overruns destroy profit faster than materialsHow estimate vs actual fixes bad pricingHow to see which crews and job types make moneyTwo KPIs every roofer must trackTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Why this matters now02:20 – Gut feel vs real profit06:20 – What job costing actually means10:15 – True labor cost & labor burden17:30 – Labor utilization explained24:15 – Estimate vs actual the right way30:25 – Fixing downtime & productivity36:40 – Sales to production handoff40:35 – KPIs that matter44:15 – Improving your systemRESOURCESShiner Group: https://www.shinergroup.comFree Labor Burden Calculator (on Leslie's site)LINKSWork with Dave / Mentoring: https://theroofercoach.com/mentoring/Free resources: https://theroofercoach.com/resources/Connect with Dave!Text Dave: (510) 612-1450Free Strategy CallWant to grow a more profitable roofing business?Book a free strategy call with Dave here → davesullivan.as.me/free-strategy-callFree ResourceDownload your FREE 1-Page Business Plan for Roofing Contractors → theroofercoach.com/planWatch on...

This episode tackles a big industry gap: architecture schools barely teach specifications, even though they make up half of real-world construction documents. Dave, Steve, and Elias compare their own “learn-it-on-the-job” experiences with new efforts at Drexel and WashU, where students finally get a taste of Uniformat, MasterFormat, and the fundamentals of spec writing.They highlight how Conspectus is training the next generation—using markup reviews, real drawings, and hands-on mentorship—and emphasize that great specifiers don't need to start as architects. Roofers, English majors, contractors…all are welcome if they love details, problem-solving, and how buildings actually go together.The takeaway? Specs deserve a place in architectural education—and in more career paths than people realize.

Today, Dave Sullivan chats with Matt Tyner, who's the VP of Marketing at Bone Dry Roofing. They dive into what really works when it comes to marketing for roofing contractors. Matt talks about how to find the right balance between digital and traditional advertising, why building a trustworthy brand matters, and which metrics are actually worth tracking. He also explains how marketing and operations can work hand-in-hand. Plus, Matt shares why getting involved in your community and focusing on real human connections, rather than just relying on AI, can make a big difference in customer service. You'll hear plenty of practical tips for growing your business in a sustainable way. If you're a contractor looking to boost profits, run things more smoothly, and build strong relationships with your customers, this episode is packed with useful advice.What you'll hear in this episode:Importance of effective lead capture and management for roofing contractorsDifferences in marketing strategies between HVAC and roofing industriesSignificance of brand building and community involvement in marketingThe role of traditional advertising channels (TV, billboards) in enhancing brand awarenessNecessity of tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) for marketing effectivenessImpact of customer experience and trust on lead conversion and retentionEvolving role of AI in marketing and customer interactions within the roofing industryStrategies for nurturing leads and maintaining customer relationships over timeThe challenges of marketing for multi-location roofing companies and the need for localized contentConsistent processes in soliciting customer reviews and optimizing SEOResources:Connect with Matt!Bonedry.comLinkedInmatttyner@bonedry.comConnect with Dave!Text Dave: (510) 612-1450Free Strategy CallWant to grow a more profitable roofing business?
