What this is

Roofer MBA is a library of plays for the business side of running a roofing company — the money, the crew, the hiring, the meetings, and getting yourself off the phone. 128 plays across 16 modules, 32 spreadsheets and 101 printable cards — 48 of the cards print in Spanish for your foreman.

Every play is short on purpose: the problem, why it happens, numbered steps, one thing to do this week — and a line on what changes if your crew is 1099 instead of on your payroll. Most take ten minutes to read and start working the same week. When a play has a tool, it sits right next to it: a spreadsheet with a filled example row, or a card you print and keep in the truck.

Who it’s for

The owner of a small roofing company — the man who can hang a valley in his sleep and was never taught the rest of it. If you are running four trucks and doing collections at 10pm after the crew goes home, this was written for you. It assumes you know roofing. It does not assume you know accounting, hiring law, or how to run a meeting.

What it costs

The plays are free to read. No account, no email, no paywall — open a page and read it. The spreadsheets and printable cards ask for an email once, and after that every file on the site is one click. That’s the whole arrangement.

What’s not in here yet

Marketing beyond the sale — your website, what you post, what’s on the truck. Module 9 covers where the work comes from and how it gets sold; it does not cover building a brand. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the library is finished.

Getting started. The LLC, the bond, your first policy, your first job, your first hire — none of that is in here. Every play assumes a company that is already running: a crew, trucks, work coming in. If you have not gone out on your own yet, this library is not for you yet.

Who’s behind it, and why believe it

These plays are how we run a shop. That is the whole claim, and it is the only one we will make. We are not a guru and there is no name on the cover — no testimonials, no before-and-after numbers, nothing to buy. Everything here is written the way a shop that runs well actually runs: plain, tested, and specific enough to use on Monday.

What we will put next to it is the work. 128 plays across 16 modules, 32 spreadsheets with the formulas already in them, 101 printable cards, 48 of the cards in Spanish. Free to read, no account, nothing sold on this site. If a play leans on another play, it says so and tells you where to look; where it leans on your state or your carrier, it says that too and leaves the number blank rather than invent one.

So judge it the way you would judge a new foreman: read one, run it this week, and see if it holds. If a play is wrong, write to us and say so — the address is at the bottom of every page.

Your call, your responsibility

These plays are how we run a shop — they are not legal, tax, or accounting advice. Rules change by state and by contract, so before you act on the legal-sounding parts, run them past your own attorney or accountant. It's your business, and what you do with any of this is your call and your responsibility.

Several plays touch things that are set by your state, your contract, or your carrier — liens, final paychecks, retainage, deductibles, what makes a man an employee instead of a sub. Where that’s true, the play says so on the page and tells you to check your own numbers rather than trusting ours. We would rather leave a blank than invent a figure.
