Roof-A-Cide at the 2017 FRSA Expo

Building for the Future

Florida’s top Roofing Professionals will be gathering for the FRSA's 95th Annual Convention and the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo. The FRSA convention consists of three full days of education, networking, family fun, sports, and friends along with two days of FRSA's highly recognized trade show, the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo.
The theme for this year’s event will be “Building on a Strong Foundation”. 

FRSA's trade show, the Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo, is the LARGEST regional show of its kind in the country. It's held in conjunction with FRSA's Annual Convention, and will be celebrated at the Hyatt Regency Orlando and Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

In 2016, more than 2,700 roofing and sheet metal contractors, building officials, architects and industry suppliers attended the show with over 200 exhibiting companies offering the latest in products and services in the industry.

Roof-A-Cide has been pleased to be a part of The FRSA Expo for the last 12 years and we're looking forward to it again this year - explaining to Roofing Contractors from all over Florida & Georgia how we’re helping companies be more profitable while providing their Customers with Better and More Comprehensive Customer Service.
This year Roof-A-Cide will be in booths 508 & 510.



In addition to the excellent education and networking events, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn about new products and ideas to make your company more efficient, profitable, and successful. We hope you'll stop by our booth (508 & 510) to learn what we can do for you!





FRSA Expo Hours:
  • Friday, June 23, 2017 - 11:30 PM - 5:00 PM 
  • Saturday, June 24, 2017 - 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
This year Roof-A-Cide will be in booths 508 & 510.

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.

Top Five Questions from the 2014 FRSA Expo

Roof-A-Cide was pleased to participate in our 10th year at the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Expo. The FRSA put on a very nice event and have once again demonstrated why they are an invaluable resource for Florida Roofing Contractors. It was our busiest year yet and we’d like to thank the Roofing Pros & Industry Vendors that came by our booth on Friday & Saturday to learn more about what we’re doing to Revolutionize the way Roof Cleaning & Maintenance is done and why Roof-A-Cide is the name that Contractors and Communities can Trust and Rely on.

From Roofing Contractors to Roofing Manufacturers, we’re working with some of the industry’s best to elevate the level of service and commitment to quality that customers should expect when it comes to the roofs that protect their homes and businesses. 

Manufacturers are producing better roofing materials every year that are designed to be more durable and last longer - but they only work well if they’re installed by qualified Contractors with the knowledge and attention to detail needed to install them correctly. And they won’t last anywhere near as long as they’re designed to unless they’re properly maintained.  The Contractors we work with understand this and that’s why they use Roof-A-Cide and regularly scheduled Roof Maintenance to maximize the performance, value, and life expectancy of the roof.


So we had a lot of good questions and here are the Top Five:
  1. Does Roof-A-Cide Immediately Clean the Roof like Chlorine Bleach 
    No.
    Roof-A-Cide is an EPA Approved algaecide that works best as a PREVENTATIVE. While it will clean a roof over time, we recommend it be applied to a clean roof. If the roof needs to be cleaned first, we have a number of ways to get this done including our Roof Restore™.
  2. Is it Expensive for the Customer? 
    No.
    Contractors determine their own pricing, but the Roof-A-Cide application generally doesn't cost a customer any more than traditional Roof Cleaning – but it last much longer.
  3. What Equipment Do We Need? 
    Any professional spraying system will work, but we have created a spec for what we recommend as the most efficient and durable setups. You can see them on the Equipment page of our website.
  4. Do You Offer Training and Support? 
    Yes.
    Quality Control is critical to what we do because we guarantee every roof that’s treated with Roof-A-Cide. So every Company that works with us is fully trained on how to use the equipment and our products. In addition, we offer a full range of sales & marketing support to help them identify target markets and explain what we do and how it benefits the Customer.
  5. Do You Offer Protected Territories? 
    Yes.
    Roof-A-Cide products are not available to the general public or Independent Contractors. They are only available through our network of Authorized Applicators and each one has a primary area that they focus on. These areas are not Exclusive but they are Protected in that we limit the number of Applicators that we establish in any given area depending on the number of homes in that area.


If you're considering offering Roof Cleaning & Stain Prevention as part of an overall Maintenance Program, take advantage of these free resources that will help you evaluate the potential for your business:
  1. Creating a Well-Rounded Maintenance Program - an explanation of the options and benefits of different aspects of a Maintenance Program.
  2. Maintenance Program Analysis - Once you've crafted an outline of your program, this tool will help you gauge your Customers' perception & Price Points.
  3. 5-Year Cash Flow Projection - Using the info from the Maintenance Program Analysis, this spreadsheet will help you easily quantify the expected results at various levels of activity.
To receive all three of these valuable tools, just follow this link, fill out some basic info and we'll email it to you.

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.

Losing Your Business by Focusing on Satisfied Customers

Talk to Contractors about their company and you’ll find that almost every one of them is either “The Biggest” or “The Best” and they ALL provide Outstanding Customer Service even though everyone knows this isn't true and about 50% will drive themselves out of business in the first five years.

Contractors can say they’re dedicated to Superior Customer Service, but the reality is that most either don’t really know what it is or they have no intention of actually providing it. They’re focused on creating one-time Satisfied Customers rather than Loyal, Repeat Customers. But Satisfied Customers are simply those that feel they received at least a fair value for what they paid for. While no one would argue that Satisfied Customers are essential, building a base of Loyal Customers – Customers that are beyond satisfied – is much more important to the profitability and long-term success of a business.

According to the SBA, “7 out of 10 new employer firms survive at least 2 years, half at least 5 years, a third at least 10 years, and a quarter stay in business 15 years or more”. Roof-A-Cide has participated in the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Expo (FRSA) each year for the last ten years and we see this holding true as we have to scratch 25-30% of our contacts each year because they have gone out of business.

There are many reasons why startups have such a high failure rate, but we have seen that the disconnect between landing a job versus creating a profitable relationship with Customers is a major contributing factor in the Roofing, Painting, and Property Maintenance industries. Too many Contractors are willing to compete almost solely on price to land a job without any real prospect of the relationship being much more than barely profitable. They have no plan for creating long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with Customers.  And since many of them don’t even want one, it’s not surprising that they soon find themselves closing up shop and going to work for someone who does.

How can You be Different?
  1. A quality product or service is basic and it’s to be expected from any reputable Contractor – but that only creates Satisfied Customers. Successful companies are looking to create Loyal Customers – Customers For Life.
  2. Most Contractors talk about Superior Customer Service, but since they don’t really differentiate themselves, they get caught up in competing mainly on price. When they’re competing on price, they lose the moment the Customer finds a better price or they end up throwing in extras that make the job less profitable. Bring something to the table that your competitors aren't.
  3. Survey after survey finds that Customers are not only willing to pay more for a better Customer Experience, but they tend to be more loyal – which means referrals and related sales. If they trust you, they will be more interested in other products and services that you offer and price is not the deciding factor.  If you can anticipate what your Customer is going to want or need after the initial sale, you can plan to offer these things as cost-effectively as possible and make them a part of the Customer Experience with your company.
  4. Recognize that if you’re not creating Loyal, Repeat Customers then your business is constantly chasing after New Customers. New Customers are typically the most expensive to convert into sales, they are typically the ones that are most sensitive to price, these will usually be the least profitable, but yet these are the Customers that most Contractors are going after. Focus more on building and strengthening a relationship with your new and existing Customers.

For many Customers, hiring a Contractor is going to be a major expense – especially when it comes to big ticket items like Roofing or Remodeling. But many Contractors don’t empathize with the Customer.

If you’re trying to understand your potential Customers better, maybe you can relate their experience to buying a car:

You’re going to buy a new car. So you do some research on the Internet to find the right car for you and what you should expect to pay for it.
  • Dealer #1 offers you the car at exactly what you expected to pay for it – nothing more and nothing less.
  • Dealer #2 offers the same car at the same price, but also anticipates what you’re going to need or want to fully enjoy the car, maintain it properly over the next ten years, and make sure it holds its value. They provide scheduled maintenance, a rewards program, Customer Loyalty discounts – AND they don’t offer these for free, but they offer it at a reasonable price.

Dealer #1 is looking for a sale. Dealer #2 is looking for a Customer.

Where are you buying your car?

Are You Looking for a Job? A Lot of Contractors Are

Most people I know that run a successful business know that acquiring New Customers can usually be expensive and time-consuming. So it’s surprising to me when I talk to Contractors that ignore these customers once they have made the initial sale.

Here’s an example:
After Hurricane Wilma, I had to have my roof replaced. I asked some of my neighbors for recommendations, but none of them knew the name of the company that put the roof on their houses.

So I did some basic research and found three companies that had big Yellow Page ads, had been in business for a while, and had decent reputations (no lawsuits, “F” ratings with the BBB, or bad coverage in the press). I checked their licenses & insurance and went with the one that I thought offered the best deal. Since each one was offering basically the same materials and the same warranty – the best deal really boiled down to just price and scheduling.

Aside from the time my roof started leaking two months after installation or when the owner of the company was running for local election, I've never heard from them again.
  • They've never called back to thank me for being a customer
  • They've never asked for a referral or offered any incentive to give one – even though referrals from existing customers are some of the easiest to sell to and least expensive New Customers a Contractor can get
  • They've never made any effort to remind me of who they are. So if I was like my neighbors, I would remember the name of the their company ONLY if I had problems with their work
  • They might have other, related products or services that I could really use – but they've never made an effort to let me know about any
  • I don’t even know if they’re still in business. I hope they are, but I haven’t seen one of their trucks in a while
In essence, they weren't really looking for a Customer;
they were just looking for a Job.

If you’re in the Contracting Business, then you SHOULD know that New Customers are usually harder, more time-consuming, and more expensive sales than your Existing Customers. 

If you don’t understand this and you’re not actively involved with your existing customers, then you’re throwing away a great source of potential revenue and you're probably not creating a company that is built to last or has much residual value beyond your equipment and the effectiveness of your current advertising push. 

But don't feel too bad - you're not alone.

Here are some links that go a little deeper into the subject:
