Anyone looking for an experienced roofer not just a specialty installer>>>

I'm always looking for a experienced roofer. What can you do? >>>

OLE Willie

I need a residential roofer with some sales experience who has a nose like a coon dog for finding roof leaks. Not someone who half arses everything they do but somone who will set up appointments with the leads i provide ( nearly always as many or more than 1 man can handle ) do what they said, when they said they would do it. If your not sure what you can do then just say i'll have to let you know when i can. This person must have extensive knowledge of all things that cause roof leaks. ( unfortunately most 'nailers' lack this "extensive" knowledge ) Must be willing to work long hours during the week and half days on Saturdays. Must be willing to go inside each house/building and measure from a window edge to the leak source and write it down. Go in the attic etc. Do whatever is necessary to "know" what the problem is NO GUESSING! Must be willing to perform some of the smaller repairs on site personally. Larger repairs can be passed on to a repair guy, however, You must have exceptional communication skills and be willing to get materials to the job if it is passed on. If their is a problem with any of your/his work "you" must be willing to fix it right away not next week or next month. Your next paycheck will not be issued until said warranty issue is repaired. Pay will be commission based. No Salary. No benefits. You must be reliable, show up every day "early" and knock off "late". You must be very honest and trustworthy. Down here we "hang em" when their caught stealing the companys work. Side Jobs Etc.. Must be drug free, neat in appearnance and clean shaven at all times. Drunks, Drug Addicts and Long Haired Hippies need not apply! :blink:>>>

I forgot, you need your own Truck and tools. Must provide your own gas and maintenance. Also much of the work is steep and high. However, this is a high paying job for the right person. Still Interested? ;)>>>

Hey Willie, if I remember I am in your neck of the woods. I was REALLY interested in the position as I began to read, thinking this is a job for me. You sure know how to scare them away!!! A person with all of those qualities will always work hard and long hours and will do most anything for the company and, at the same time, will want the security they deserve.>>>

Could I inquire as to what would be considered high pay for this sort of work down in "your neck of the woods"? >>>

May 8, 2009 at 9:20 p.m.

OLE Willie

The way i worded it was to keep it to serious inquiries only. You know, similar to what you want in the potential customers who call you. As in "qualified". I forgot to mention that "if" said person even exsists out there and happened to want this job. Once said person took said position and "proved" himself for oh i don't know say 6 monthhs or so then said person would qualify for benefits, company vehicle, phone, etc. etc. However, as of today the person who is doing said job is yours truly and i would have to aquire said benefits, vehicle, phone etc. and i'm not doing that upfront just to find out that said person turns out to be less than desirable for the position. The pay would be commision based as i stated. 40% after deducting materials and any labor other than your own if used. Which is basically half of the money after materials, labor and overhead. We sell between 200-300 repairs per year. So the annual pay for this job would range between 30,000 and 100,000 depending on the person's abilites!>>>

I truly understand your philosophy in your hiring requirements as you are relatively small. Larger companies may offer a small salary for a short period until said persond gets thier feet wet, then they are on thier own.

If said person had to do the repair on his own (due to unavalability of other techs) will you pay the hrly rate plus the 40%?>>>

May 9, 2009 at 2:43 a.m.

OLE Willie

The labor is taken out of the 40% unless you do the work yourself. Then you get the whole 40%. We don't pay an hourly rate. Its a set amount so your able to know what you will make off the job whether you do it or someone else does. You set the rate for the other person when you do the bid. Example: You sell a repair for $850. The material is $50. You decide to let someone else do the work and they should get $100. That leaves $700 times 40%. Or $280 for you. Example 2: Say its a $250 minor repair and you do the work as well at the time of the estimate. Theres no material ( homeowner had the shingles ) You get 250 x 40% which is $100.>>>

OLE Willie

P.S. If you didn't sell a job the very first day ( which would be odd ) then you most likely would the 2nd day. Your feet would be flooded very quickly! lol If you started on Monday you should have a decent check the very first Friday. We sell 200-300 repairs annually. Also you will run into repair leads that become replacements. They pay 15% after labor and material. You will sell some of those along the way. All you do there is make the sell. I order materials and get the job done and collected.>>>

Are you interested Robby? If so where do you live and what is your expeirience/age etc..? I have not tried to hire anyone as of yet. Been doing it all myself but its becoming very overwhelming along with my other duties. I've had to work 12-14 hrs a day to try and keep up. I've been getting to most but not all leads. :woohoo:>>>

I live in Tacama, Wa. 14 years, 9 yrs as foreman, 2 years as a lead service technician and the last two As a Field Manager (Quality Control/Safety Officer/Supply Manager). I am a coon (sniff sniff), having repair sales experience, have consulted as well. Do not like pot heads, extreme drinkers (drunks), and the ones runnin from child support>>>
