  • Paul Verdile on How Roofers Can Fix HR, Benefits & Compliance Problems
    May 18 2026

    If you're a roofing contractor trying to grow your business, one of the biggest hidden obstacles isn't sales or marketing, it's the back office.

    In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Paul Verdile, a specialist in HR services, contractor compliance, payroll systems, and workforce management.

    Paul has over 15 years of experience supporting commercial and federal contractors, helping them navigate Department of Labor compliance, employee benefits, retirement plans, payroll systems, and workforce management.

    Many roofing companies struggle with:

    • employee retention
    • benefits packages
    • HR systems
    • state compliance rules
    • federal contractor regulations

    When these areas are mismanaged, business owners end up spending more time in the back office instead of growing the company.

    Paul explains how contractors can streamline payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR systems into one integrated platform, allowing roofing business owners to focus on scaling revenue and building stronger teams.

    If you're a roofing business owner who wants better systems, better employees, and better profitability, this episode will open your eyes.

    ✔ Why employee benefits impact roofing employee retention
    ✔ The hidden compliance risks contractors often overlook
    ✔ How HR systems can simplify payroll and employee management
    ✔ Why many roofing companies get stuck in the back office

  • Loren Crawford on Why Roofers Make Fear-Based Decisions (And How to Fix It)
    May 11 2026

    Running a roofing business in 2026 isn’t just about leads, trucks, and crews.

    It’s about mental clarity.

    In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Loren Crawford, modern-day mystic and positive intelligence coach, to talk about something most contractors ignore:

    👉 The internal patterns that drive their decisions.

    If you’re a roofing contractor or home repair service business owner feeling:

    • Pressure from the economy
    • Burnout from constant problem-solving
    • Fear about market shifts
    • Mental overload from running trucks, teams, and jobs

    This conversation is for you.

    Loren explains:

    ✔ Why most business owners operate from reactive neural pathways
    ✔ How fear silently impacts decision-making
    ✔ The difference between reactive and responsive leadership
    ✔ Why “manifestation” doesn’t work without rewiring your brain
    ✔ Simple daily practices to regulate your nervous system
    ✔ How calm thinking leads to better profits and better sleep

    This isn’t airy-fairy motivation.

    It’s neuroscience-based mindset training designed for high-performing men who want clarity under pressure.

    Because scaling your roofing company starts with mastering the operator.

  • Shel Horowitz: Why Price Wars Kill Your Roofing Business (And What to Do Instead)
    May 4 2026

    Most roofing contractors compete on price.

    And that’s exactly why their margins shrink.

    In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle, Jacques Skuteeki interviews marketing strategist and author Shel Horowitz, who explains why green roofing isn’t just environmental, it’s a powerful differentiation strategy.

    If you're tired of:

    • Competing with low-bid contractors
    • Watching margins disappear
    • Attracting price shoppers
    • Fighting in a race to the bottom

    This episode will shift how you think about positioning.

    Shel breaks down:

    ✔ Why competing on price is a losing game
    ✔ How eco-roofing creates premium niches
    ✔ Solar roofing tiles, deep insulation & green roofs explained
    ✔ “Press partnership to profit” marketing strategy
    ✔ How to pivot into consulting later in your career
    ✔ Why higher purpose actually increases profitability
    ✔ The long-term ROI conversation contractors must have

    You’ll also hear examples from companies like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's, and Interface, plus insights from the deep retrofit of the Empire State Building.

    This conversation is about future-proofing your roofing company.

    Because when you differentiate, you control pricing.
