In this episode of America’s Home Experts Shop Talk, we sit down with Ted, the founder of T&M Roofing, a seasoned pro with over 20 years in the industry. Ted shares his journey from working in a plant to becoming a "late bloomer" in the roofing world at age 35.
We dive deep into the reality of running a contracting business, including:
-
The Early Grind: Starting as a "weekend warrior" and hiring his first mentor as his first employee.
-
Survival Tactics: Why saving one full roofing job's profit per week is essential for surviving the off-season.
-
Avoiding Catastrophe: Ted tells a cautionary tale about a torch-down roofing fire and why honesty with customers is your best marketing tool.
-
The Future of T&M: Ted’s move toward hiring union workers to provide better benefits and stability for his crew.
Whether you're a new contractor or a homeowner looking for insider tips, Ted’s transparency and "old school" wisdom offer a masterclass in professional integrity.
