Question of the Month - Piece Of Advice

Customer service is key. So many roofing companies lose sight of this, yet referrals are one of the biggest parts of the business. Treat em good and they'll tell 1 of their friends. Treat em bad and they'll tell 10...

Look for quality roofers instead of twice as many poor roofers, it will save you time and money in the long run! http://www.roofrepairoklahoma.com

Always do more then you were paid to do.

If the piece of advice is about a new guy starting a roofing business, I'd say the number 1 thing is manage your money, stay on top of your cash flow. There are tons of other things you need to do to survive and prosper over the long haul but surviving the first two years is mostly a sign of your ability to finance that time frame.

This is awesome info. We are a new roofing company in Lakeland FL. We are wanting to really put our imprint in this community with quality roofing services and awesome customer services. Financially, I feel we are prepared. I have many years working for someone else, running their crews, thought it was time for me to step out on my own.

Get your ducks in a row before you pull the trigger, then keep 'em that way.

I have shingle in fastener and nails :)

Be honest and fair with customers, employees and suppliers. Tell customers what you will do for them, and then do it. Cleanly and efficiently. And spend a lot of time learning business and what you need to charge to run your business to make money. Be ready and willing to spend countless hours in paperwork.

Vickie the Boss Said: If you only had one piece of advice for the new guy starting out. The most important thing is...?

Always go the extra mile to make your client happy and treat them with respect. They are going to tell others about the job you do for them...negative or positive...It's up to you. A positive review is worth a lot when it comes to finding new jobs! All you ever have is your reputation!

Just work on the why part first. Secondary is you how part.

Fuggedabout roofing. Get a government job and retire like a multimillionaire at age 48. No stressing about actually getting something of importance done. ;)

If you give them a crystal-clear picture of what to do and what to expect, they will have much higher chances of succeeding in the task.

After all, if the reader cannot complete the task properly after writing service online, it will be you who takes the blame for it.
