Every roofing company starts in the same way, namely as a small business that operates locally with only a few workers taking care of all aspects of the job.
In the early stages, the main worker is usually the owner who commands multiple positions including that of the company marketing expert, sales team, customer service, job manager, and one of the contractors going up onto the roof.
Eventually, organizations run in this way will reach their peak, unable to keep growing without some structural changes to how the business operates.
Roofing company owners who can embrace these changes, step back from the worksite, and develop their own management system will see their companies grow exponentially.
Stepping Up From Roofer to CEO
The biggest yet most important step that every roofing company owner must make to get from where their business is today to reaching high goals is getting off the ladder.
As counter-productive and unnatural as that might sound, it is the critical step that allows a roofer to go from being an over-extended worker who is playing multiple roles to a true CEO who is commanding the business.
With mentorship, the identification of business goals, and then learning effective hiring and management practices, any roofer can grow their company.
In doing so, roofing company owners who put others in charge of their marketing, sales, and jobs, learning to “delegate to elevate” will enjoy company growth through better management from a CEO who can make all the right decisions.
Why Is Mentorship So Important For Roofers?
Mentorship is essential for any type of business, as it provides owners of smaller companies the ability to learn from more experienced and successful owners in their same industry.
As simple as it might seem to run a roofing company, the truth is that many owners become limiting factors for their own businesses by not commanding the CEO role and delegating everything else.
That usually happens due to inexperience as well as fear of the unknown and not knowing how to properly manage the company’s finances or hire the right people.
A relationship with a like-minded mentor can provide owners of growing businesses with the knowledge they need to market themselves better, get more sales, find the right employees, and experience actual growth.

Achieve Business Growth By Leaving the Comfort Zone
As strange as it might sound, owners of smaller roofing companies who feel too comfortable in how their company is operating are likely not going to see increased sales and business growth.
Growing a roofing company requires roofers to leave their comfort zones and step forward to get to the next business level.
With the help of a good mentor and the mental acceptance that they need to become an effective manager while delegating other tasks to trusted employees, company growth is possible.
