The Benefits of Minimizing Overhead Costs with RoofAssist

In today's competitive roofing business landscape, where a whopping 17,000 roofing companies are started each year, only 35% make it to the 3-year mark, achieving an average revenue of $1.3 million. However, these companies often face significant challenges that can hamper their growth and profitability.
