Roofing Articles

As a roofing contractor, you’ll often be asked a variety of questions by your customers pertaining to what roof is right for them. You’ll want to guide them in the right direction of what roofing system is best for them, while also letting them know of the estimated costs and projected completion time. In order to best guide homeowners toward the best choice, you’ll want to go over a checklist of what aspects are most important to them.

Equipter Founder and President Aaron Beiler recently shared his beliefs on a roofing company's greatest asset–its employees.

Steep slope roofing jobs come with a whole set of challenges, from a higher risk of injury to production setbacks to tiring end-of-day cleanup. And if you're working with a small roofing crew, steep slope jobs can be even more complicated.

The Equipter team had a grand time in New Orleans at the 2022 International Roofing Expo. Connecting with customers and making new friends, getting a taste of local favorites...here's an inside scoop on what went down. 

As demand for high-performing roofers increases and the ability to find them decreases, roofing companies face a multitude of challenges, including turning down big jobs. But if you shift your focus–and resources–from hiring to increasing production, you may not have to lose jobs due to lack of labor this year. 

Many homeowners expect their roofs to be replaced in a week or less. If you're unable to meet that expectation, you may not land the contract that could skyrocket your roofing sales.

The team at Equipter has a unique appreciation for the flagship model of the company, having been in production and available to the public since 2004. The Equipter RB4000 has revolutionized professionalism in the roofing industry and is now driving productivity increases in various other manual labor industries. 

The foundation of your roofing company's online presence is a solid website. Whether you're just starting a roofing company or looking for ways to enhance an existing website, it's essential that your roofing website design sticks out from the rest. 

As a salesperson, you can never get too much advice. We recently sat down with Equipter Sales Manager John Stoltzfus to get his insight on how to make more sales without being pushy.
