We Help Contractors Be More Profitable

We LOVE hearing from satisfied Homeowner & Property Managers, but they're not our only Customers. We also have the privilege of working with some of the Best Contractors in the industry!

Here's a recent comment from one of our Authorized Roof-A-Cide® Applicators in South Florida:
"I'm the owner of Pressure Perfection and I've been a Roof-A-Cide applicator since February 2014. Because of Roof-A-Cide, my business has consistently grown 35-42% each quarter. The last 2 months we doubled our average gross for the month. Year to date we already grossed 50% more than last year. In 2016, which will be our first year of retreatments, we are expecting to grow another 50-85% growth by the end of the year. It's not rocket science, but you need the right vehicle to give you the ability to grow. Roof-A-Cide gives my company the advantage over all my competition. If you want to contact me call me at 561-722-0957 anytime."

We Help Roofing Contractors Be More Profitable

How is Your Company differentiating yourself from your competition?

More and more, Roofing Contractors are realizing that if they're going to be doing pretty much the same thing as their competitors, then they're going to end up competing solely on price much more often than they'd like. That's why Contractors work with us. They're looking for an edge over their competition - something that they can offer customers that their competitors can't.

Authorized Roof-A-Cide® Applicators have access to proven products & services that are not available to Independent Contractors or the general public.

Here are SOME of the many benefits of becoming an Authorized Roof-A-Cide® Applicator:

Protected Territories
Professional Equipment
Training
Marketing Support
Plenty of opportunity with very limited competition
Residual, high-margin revenue

If you're a Florida based Contractor, chances are your customers are currently paying someone to keep their roofs clean. They're just not paying YOU.
But they would probably prefer to pay you if you were offering to clean the roof - or better yet, prevent it from getting dirty in the first place!

And if you were to offer this service, you'll find (like most Contractors working with us) that this opens the door for you to make your customers aware of the other products & services that you might offer AND it increases your company name recognition and increases the chances of referrals.

If you're not a Florida Contractor, but you're in Georgia, the Carolinas, or Alabama - you're probably not going to have the same "forced market", but you will have the benefit of virtually NO competition.

Roof Cleaning & Maintenance in Georgia & Northern Florida

Roofing Contractors throughout Northern Florida and Georgia are looking for ways to increase revenues and profitability - and we can help!

If you’re running an established Roofing Company, chances are you have a built-in customer base for high-margin ancillary services like Roof Cleaning, Roof Stain Prevention, and Roof Maintenance. And if you’re like most Roofing Contractors, you don’t realize just how much potential profit you’re turning away by NOT offering these services to your customers – and many of your customers are probably paying OTHER companies to do this work because you don’t offer it.

We can help you change that. We’ve developed a proven solution to the problem of ugly roof stains that detract from the appearance of roofs throughout 80% of the US and particularly in the Southeast. Our product is an EPA Approved solution, also approved by every major roof materials manufacturer, to actually prevent algae discoloration on roofs. A light spray every couple of years will keep the roof looking like new, eliminate the need for Roof Cleaning, and provide your company with recurring revenue while reinforcing your Company Name Recognition & building Customer Loyalty.

Contact us today for a Free Maintenance Program Analysis to see for yourself how profitable this could be for Your Company.

Roof Maintenance for Contractors

Here's a video we did recently that shows what preventative maintenance across a whole community can accomplish.

This is a community of 400+ homes that works with one of our Applicators. Their roofs are approximately 15 years old. And while most 15 year old shingle roofs in Florida would be black by now, these have never needed to be cleaned and they look almost pristine.Why? Because of Proactive, Preventative Maintenance.

Roof Cleaning is very common here in Florida because when the roof is covered in black algae, it not only looks bad & detracts from the aesthetics of the property, it detracts from the value of the property or community. This is why many homeowners in South Florida don't have a choice as to whether or not to keep their roofs clean - it's mandated by the communities they live in.

But cleaning the roofs with harsh chemicals or pressure cleaning puts unnecessary wear & tear on the roof and opens up the potential for damage. Preventative Maintenance is much easier on the roof and it's more cost-effective. Periodic inspections, minor repairs when needed, preventing algae & moss growth, etc all contribute to helping the roof last as long as possible. This is obviously a "Win" for the homeowner or community, but it's also a Win for the Contractor that is creating Customers for Life and generating higher margin residual income at the same time.

If you can do this with your individual customers, you should be able to calculate the increase in revenue. If you can do this for whole communities (HOA's, Condos, Apartments, etc)., the increase could be pretty substantial.

If you're a Roofing Contractor & you're still ignoring preventative maintenance, you're missing a lot of potential revenue.

If you're thinking about putting one together, let us know & we'll be happy to send you some basics on how to get started.

Creating a Well-Rounded & Profitable Roof Maintenance Program

If you’re a Roofing Contractor and you’re not offering a well-designed maintenance program using Roof-A-Cide®, you are passing up an excellent opportunity for your company to capitalize on the many benefits that can help your company increase competitiveness, profitability, and customer loyalty in almost any market. And if your competitors offer one, but you don't, you may soon find your company at a competitive disadvantage.

When marketed, explained, and implemented properly, the maintenance program concept can be especially successful in the Roofing Industry since it sets your company apart as a Full-Service Roofing Company. And while selling the program may be a little challenging at first - if it is done properly, it will generate additional high-margin revenue, customer loyalty, referrals, and additional sales opportunities for your company.

Benefits:

Sets your company apart from your competition: More and more, Roofing companies are starting to offer maintenance programs and/or Roof Cleaning. A properly designed program will be comprehensive, organized, and priced effectively so you can take full advantage of the opportunity.
Established Market: If you’re in Florida, chances are your Customers are already paying to have their roofs cleaned – they’re just not paying you YET.
Name Recognition: Your Company and Your Competitors are fighting for every Customer's attention. This is a way to keep your name in front of them and get paid while doing it.
Increased and Ancillary Revenues: Increase revenues by offering Roof Cleaning and Treatment, but also by using these interactions as a chance to let them know what your other products, services, and offers are.
Residual Income: Roof-A-Cide® treatments provide you with residual income every two years. But the program works even better when it includes yearly roof inspections. This creates more value for the Customer – especially in areas that a prone to storms.
Relationship Building / Customer Loyalty / Customer Service: Provides you an opportunity to remind your customers of who you are, what you do, and address any concerns they may have. This is a critical part of a successful strategy when dealing with Homeowner Associations or larger organizations where Board or Management turnover is commonplace.
Customer Education on the Benefits of Proactive Maintenance: Providing customers with written reports on the status of their roof, areas of concern, and expected remaining lifespan allows them to plan ahead and gives your company more credibility.
Keep Crews Working / Fully Employed: Since it is sometimes difficult to keep staff fully employed at your company’s core functions, routine inspections, maintenance, and treatment is a flexible way to fill in the gaps during slower periods or seasonal fluctuations.
Catching minor problems before they become major problems: Obviously this benefits the customer, but it also benefits your company and can limit your liability if the roof is still under your Workmanship Warranty.
Less Competition: Most Contractors focus on the bigger-ticket installations - but have to sacrifice margins to get the jobs. Repairs can generally bring in higher margins because there’s less competition.

Options to Add to Your Roof Maintenance Program:

Good / Better / Best: By offering three levels of service, you are giving customers more choice rather than offering a “take it or leave it” proposition.
Yearly Inspections: In the South, these are usually done just before hurricane season. In the North, these are usually done in early spring.
Gutter Inspection and Cleaning: Gutters are not as profitable in the South as they are in the North, but they should be checked to make sure they are not clogged. In Northern areas, gutters are more profitable. They should be cleaned out every year to avoid clogging that can lead to water that cannot drain turning to ice which can lead to gutter and fascia damage. Cleaning the exterior of the gutters is also an add-on service that can bring in additional revenue at high margins when done correctly.
Snow Removal: Obviously, this is a Northern option.
Discounts and/or Preferred Scheduling on Storm Repairs: This works well in storm-prone areas – especially as homeowners in many of these areas saw their storm deductibles climb from $500 to 2%, and now 5% is not uncommon.
Discounts and/or Preferred Scheduling on Regular Repairs, Upgrades, or New Services: Customers that are on your maintenance program are more likely to turn to your company for these items because they are already familiar with your quality of work.

Here's an easy way to calculate what this could mean for your company In The FIRST Year Alone. Enter the number of roofs you've installed in the last 8 years. FYI - this might not work well on some mobile devices:

And one of the main reasons why you should be giving this serious consideration is that Your Competitors probably are. If they implement a program and you don’t, not only do you lose this additional revenue, but you risk the very real possibility that they may take your existing customers. And once you’ve lost them, they’re likely gone forever.

For additional information on what we do, how we do it, and how it can benefit your company, please feel free to visit our website, blogs, & follow us on LinkedIn,Google+, Twitter, or YouTube. We also hold regularly scheduled Demo Days and invite you to come see everything in action. And if you have specific questions or would like to discuss this opportunity, please feel free to email us at Info@Roof-A-Cide.com or call 800-806-6727 ext 8.
