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. 110 plays across 14 modules, 29 spreadsheets and 40 field cards in Spanish.

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

Selling and lead-getting. Everything in here is the business side of running the shop you already have. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the library is finished.

Who’s behind it

We are not a guru and there is no name on the cover. Everything here is written the way a shop that runs well actually runs — plain, tested, and specific enough to use on Monday. If a play leans on another play, it says so and tells you where to look.

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.
