The video is episode number 343 of the Homeowner Show, hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams. They begin by discussing the end of the year and the approaching new year, reflecting on the past year's accomplishments and takeaways. Before diving into their review, they thank their sponsor, 2 Texas Solar and Roofing, highlighting their services for solar installation and roofing needs, including generators and backup batteries. The hosts then address a common concern for new homeowners, sharing a Reddit post from a first-time homebuyer experiencing anxiety and second thoughts after closing on their house. They reassure listeners that these feelings are normal, as buying a home is a significant and often stressful event. They emphasize that the value of a home often increases over time and that personal satisfaction with the home is paramount. The conversation shifts to memorable features seen in houses they've encountered. Craig shares his childhood memory of an indoor swimming pool in a friend's house, while Kevin recounts seeing a spectacular underground wine cellar in Houston, noting the unique architecture and ambiance. They then transition into a year-end review of topics discussed in 2025. Key points include: Krazy Klean Works: A product that effectively descales toilets, noting its continued efficacy for over a year. Gun Storage: A reminder about the importance of secure and diverse gun storage solutions, urging listeners to re-evaluate their own setups. Navy SEAL Claims: A discussion about the issue of individuals falsely claiming to be Navy SEALs, and the importance of verifying credentials, referencing their earlier interview with Don Shibley. Squatter Rights: Highlighting the ongoing issue of squatters and the legal protections they sometimes have, and criticizing social media platforms for not removing content that promotes illegal squatting. Interest Rates: Observing that interest rates have stabilized, though not significantly decreased, and that home prices remain high, leading to a slower housing market. Normalization of Luxury: Discussing the trend of first-time homebuyers expecting high-end features, which drives up costs and reduces the availability of more affordable starter homes. Frugal Living and Homeownership: Sharing an anecdote about a couple who successfully paid off their starter home in 10 years by living frugally on one income, demonstrating the financial benefits of such an approach. Insulation Claims: Debunking the concept of "pest-resistant insulation," explaining that while some materials might be less attractive to pests, no insulation truly prevents them. They caution against companies using this marketing to inflate prices. Importance of Research and Due Diligence: Emphasizing the need for homeowners to research contractors, get multiple bids, and be wary of exaggerated claims, particularly from large corporations that may not prioritize individual customer needs. They advocate for smaller, local businesses with a vested interest in their community reputation.

In this episode, Dave breaks down the fundamentals of local search, what really drives inbound leads, and how to improve visibility without relying solely on paid ads.In this episode, I sit down with Greg DeSimone to break down what truly creates value in a roofing business, and why so many contractors end up walking away with far less than they expected when it's time to exit.This conversation isn't just about selling your business. It's about building a company that's profitable, transferable, and not dependent on you showing up every day.Many roofing contractors assume that revenue alone determines business value, but buyers and private equity groups see things very differently.Today, Dave Sullivan and Greg DeSimone discuss the real drivers of business valuation in the roofing and home services industry. They unpack why systems, leadership depth, clean financials, and predictable profits matter far more than top-line sales.Dave shares firsthand insight from building and exiting his own roofing company, explaining how contractors can unintentionally trap themselves inside their business by failing to delegate, document processes, and build a leadership team.The key takeaway is simple:You don't build value at the end; you build it years in advance.Whether you plan to sell, step back, or just run a stronger business, this episode lays out what needs to be in place to make your company valuable, on your terms.What you'll hear in this episode:Revenue alone does not equal business valueBuyers look for systems, leadership, and clean financialsA business dependent on the owner has limited valueProfitability and predictability matter more than growthExit planning should start years before you plan to sellStrong businesses are built to run without the ownerResources:Connect with Dave!Text Dave: (510) 612-1450Free Strategy CallWant to grow a more profitable roofing business?

Guests: Jason Burg – 40-year industry veteran, retired GC, national MRP consultant Jim Greer – 40+ years in B2B consulting, national carrier & vendor network strategist Jason Burg: 407-782-1772 This episode explores why MRP (Managed Repair Programs) and DRP (Direct Repair Programs) are becoming essential revenue streams for roofing contractors—and why the traditional door-to-door storm model is becoming increasingly unstable. The discussion breaks down how shifting insurance policies, rising deductibles, declining storm frequency, ACV-only policies, and market restrictions are changing the economics of storm restoration roofing. The episode explains how MRPs, DRPs, TPAs, and MGAs actually work, why most contractors misunderstand them, and how these programs create recurring, predictable revenue while improving business valuation. It details why door-to-door alone has become feast-or-famine, why free roofs are disappearing, how contractors can still achieve 35–40% margins through the right programs, and why insurance carriers urgently need more vetted roofers—especially during CAT events and daily claims. The episode also clarifies misconceptions around low margins, lack of control, and qualification barriers, outlining how background checks, onboarding, and vendor approvals actually work. Real-world examples show contractors getting approved within days when introduced through the right relationships. Ultimately, this episode provides a blueprint for shifting from a volatile storm-chasing model to a sustainable, diversified revenue system built on direct carrier work, recurring repair opportunities, and long-term business stability.

This week, join us as we revisit our episode on Roofing Cases as a refresher! Original Air Date: August 20, 2021. Most of us are lucky enough to live and work with a roof over our head. But who's to blame when that roof is damaged or defective? Is it the installer's responsibility? Or does the accountability come straight from the source at the manufacturer?  Is there someone else to consider?  It may be all three. From improper installation to storm damage and even intentional acts, roof damage and the resulting liability is complex. On this week's installment, Rebecca and Steve peel back the layers of roofing claims and navigate who is responsible when a roof is defective or contributes to property damage or physical harm. 

It's been a pleasure to get to know a fascinating group of longtime runners and ex-runners who meet monthly. The man behind the group is Bob Cook, who's life's journey is a fascinating one to hear. Ohio raised and a child of the 50's, he's embraced a variety of passions in baseball, music, military service, the business world, marathoning, and much more. A great American tale to enjoy!

This episode of Roofing Road Trips® takes listeners beyond the roof to highlight a manufacturer's commitment to community and service.
