Back to EpisodesHow to Build a Roofing Company That Survives the Tough Years
Description
The roofing business has ups and downs. John Famularo has survived them for 39 years.
Heβs watched prices rise, markets slow down, and roofing companies disappear. Through it all, ABC Roofing has kept moving forward. John says the key is knowing your numbers, taking care of your people, and being willing to change when the market changes.
In this conversation, John shares:
- How to protect your company when business slows down
- Why keeping cash in the business matters
- How great employees, service, and warranties create long-term growth
The good years wonβt last forever. Neither will the bad ones. Build your company to survive both.
