Rooted in Revenue – Growing as a Roofing Business Partner

We’ve got a good friend here, Rudy, He’s been with the Smarter Way to Roof network for a few years now and has seen incredible growth in his commercial roofing business. His journey is a powerful example of what’s possible when you have the right mentorship, the right tools, and a community of like-minded professionals.

"I’ve been in commercial roofing for over a decade, specializing in flat and low-sloped roofs for warehouses, retail spaces, and agricultural buildings. Like a lot of contractors, I started out just trying to keep the jobs coming and the bills paid. But I knew there had to be a smarter way to grow."

After years of handling repairs and installations the traditional way, Rudy hit a point where the work was steady, but the profits weren’t climbing. “I was making a living,” he says, “but I wasn’t building a business. I wanted something that could grow without burning me out.”

That’s when he found Smarter Way to Roof.

"The thing that struck me wasn’t just the training — it was the network. This wasn’t another generic seminar telling you to ‘hustle harder.’ These were real roofing pros showing you exactly how they built profitable businesses step-by-step."

In the early days, Rudy faced challenges that many contractors will relate to: weather delays, unpredictable material costs, and constantly feeling like you’re chasing the next project. Through the network, he learned to create recurring revenue streams, improve client retention, and implement proven systems that freed up his time.

"I didn’t just learn roofing skills — I learned business skills. The mentorship helped me price jobs more profitably, build better customer relationships, and think long-term. And the best part? I’m no longer doing it alone."

Today, Rudy is not just running a more profitable roofing operation — he’s mentoring other contractors in the network.

"What excites me most isn’t just my own growth — it’s helping other roofers take control of their business, just like I did. If you’re serious about building a profitable commercial roofing company, you owe it to yourself to plug into this community."
