Insurance claims, storm chasers, and broken incentives — welcome to the dark side of roofing.In this episode, John Wilson sits down (again) with Adam Cherup to unpack what really happens behind the scenes in roofing — from “deny, delay, defend” insurance tactics to the storm-chasing playbook that leaves homeowners stuck holding the warranty bag. They also get practical: seasonality, lead gen, cash flow, and what it actually takes to start a roofing business (especially in Florida).In this episode, we cover:The Insurance Game: “Deny, delay, defend” — and why carriers aren't your friend.Retail vs. Insurance Strategy: Why some roofers push retail first, then litigate the claim after.How to Win Insurance Work: Xactimate, codes, the paperwork game, and why payouts can double when done right.

Mike Feazel built one of the largest roof replacement companies in America, scaling it to $60 million in revenue before selling it 13 years ago. But instead of retiring to an island, he saw a massive problem in the industry and decided to disrupt it all over again with Roof Maxx.In this episode of Escaping the Drift, John Gafford talks with Mike about the journey from a small farm in Ohio to becoming a roofing mogul. Mike shares the exact "dealership model" he used to scale his new company to 380 locations in just five years, why he believes the "franchise model" is broken for most service businesses, and how a 17-page Google search led to a breakthrough product that is saving homeowners millions.If you are in the trades, own a service business, or want to know how to scale a company for a massive exit, this episode is a masterclass in blue-collar entrepreneurship.In this episode, we cover:How he scaled a roofing company to $60M and sold it.The "Dealership vs. Franchise" model: Why one is superior.How a simple Google search led to a bio-oil breakthrough.Why he believes "white collar" jobs are in trouble and "blue collar" is the future.The 3-minute rule for pitching your business to anyone.Chapter Titles & Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Sold for $60 Million02:15 – The Problem with Asphalt Shingles (And How He Fixed It)08:45 – Dealerships vs. Franchises: The Scaling Secret15:30 – How to Scale to 380 Locations in 5 Years22:10 – The "Google Mafia" & The Cost of Leads29:00 – Why Blue Collar is the New Gold Rush36:45 – Managing a Remote Team of 50+ People42:00 – Final Advice: Don't Retire, Reload

Guest: Brynn Wilson – Sales Consultant, Hook Agency This episode breaks down what a realistic and effective roofing marketing budget looks like heading into 2026, and why many roofing companies either overspend emotionally or underspend out of fear—both of which stall growth. The episode explains why most roofing companies should expect to invest roughly 5–10% of revenue into marketing depending on market size, competition, and growth goals, and why that range feels uncomfortable in today's increasingly aggressive landscape. It explores how private equity, higher competition, AI-driven tools, and expanded channel options have permanently raised the cost of visibility, while also clarifying when it actually makes sense to not be in growth mode. The discussion walks through when traditional channels like TV, radio, and billboards begin to make sense—typically in the $5–10M range—and why those channels only work when branding is strong, memorable, and differentiated. It dives into the importance of sticky brand names, visual identity, and cutting through noise before spending on awareness channels. The episode then outlines where most roofing companies should prioritize budget first: high-intent search channels like Google Ads and Local Service Ads, local brand visibility through trucks, yard signs, jobsite branding, and community presence, and social media that features real people on camera rather than generic posts. It also explores low-cost, high-effort strategies such as Facebook group engagement, referral ecosystems, networking groups, geographic dominance (“five-mile fame”), sales enablement materials, and compounding word-of-mouth. Finally, the episode emphasizes the principle of layering instead of chopping, explaining why sustainable growth comes from stacking channels over time rather than constantly restarting marketing efforts, and why focusing on being referable, visible, and trusted in a tight local market outperforms spreading efforts thin.

In this episode of Owned and Operated, John Wilson sits down with Adam Cherup, a “disaster roofer” who's built a niche, high-margin business installing shrink-wrap temporary roofs after hurricanes, wind events, hail, and fires. Instead of blue tarps that fail in weeks (and often aren't covered more than once), Adam installs a manufacturer-rated wrap that can last up to a year (or longer)—buying homeowners, schools, hospitals, and commercial properties time while insurance claims and full roof replacements drag on.Adam breaks down the economics: 60–80% margins, typical residential jobs around $20K–$30K, and large commercial/school projects in the $150K–$350K+ range (with massive roofs reaching even higher). You'll hear how he gets work (including a key referral partner who pre-positions before storms), why this niche is best paired with an existing roofing operation, and what makes the job uniquely difficult: travel, logistics, training crews, and negotiating with insurers who hate the sticker price—but can't ignore the cost of “future loss.”If you like niche business models with weirdly great unit economics, this one is basically printing money… in a disaster zone.What You'll LearnWhat shrink-wrap roofing is (and why it beats tarps after storms)Unit economics & margins: how this can hit 60–80% gross marginTypical job sizes: $20K–$30K homes, $150K–$350K schools, big commercial upsideHow insurance actually reacts (and how Adam gets paid ~99% of the time)How the work is sold: referrals, pre-storm positioning, and inbound search demand

If you're a fan of expert level copywriting, then today's podcast is for you. This is Throwback Thursday, of course, and this is one of Rich's Tuesday Morning Ad Calls from 2014. A Roofing company submits some stuff they had written up that was to be used in communicating with members of a homeowner's association they were targeting… and Rich gets to work doing his thing… taking words that sound pretty good, actually… and making them sound GREAT. I like the part where he talks about taking little "jabs" at your readers, in a nice way, of course. This is truly the work of a master craftsman you are about to experience.

Football jokes aside, we pivot hard into a practical, no-nonsense guide to choosing the right roof. Donnie draws on decades of contracting and roofing experience to decode the real trade-offs between asphalt shingles, designer lines, and metal systems, with blunt talk about warranties, wind ratings, and the hidden details that make or break a roof over time.We walk through why certified, local, licensed, and insured roofers matter far more than a slick quote. You'll hear how modern architectural shingles can carry 50-year warranties when installed to spec, why three-tabs are fading, and where designer shingles earn their keep with striking curb appeal. We also get tactical about metal: paint systems like Kynar vs cheap coatings, steel versus aluminum near the coast, and how gauge and fastening method change your long-term risk of leaks and hail dents. If you've ever wondered whether a white metal roof slashes your power bill, we break down the building science—attic ventilation, radiant barriers, and duct placement do the heavy lifting.Tile gets a reality check for weight and cost, while mixed-material strategies deliver a smart middle ground: shingle main roofs with metal accents on porches and returns. We round it out with insurance insights you can use today—why notifying your carrier after a new roof can reduce premiums, why some insurers scout roof age ahead of binding coverage, and how documentation protects your wallet. Looking to upgrade? Ask for recent local installs, validate certifications and licensing, and confirm how warranties transfer when you sell.If you're planning a roof or just want to be a sharper homeowner, this is your field guide. Subscribe, share with a neighbor comparing bids, and leave a review with your roofing questions—we'll tackle them on a future show.
