What does it take to build a roofing company that lasts more than a decade in today’s market?

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Royer, co-owner of a $24 million roofing company in Dallas. Thirteen years in business. Twenty-six project managers. No reckless growth. Just high standards, disciplined hiring, and leadership from the front.

We talk about how roofing has changed. Claim denials are more common. Deductibles are higher. Appraisals are now part of the normal process. The contractors who are not adapting are getting left behind.

Nick shares how he sets clear expectations with homeowners, trains his team to handle denials with confidence, and why he still knocks doors alongside his reps every week. We also break down hiring slow, protecting culture, and building a strong team instead of just a big one.

The easy years are over. The companies that raise their standards and stay disciplined will win the next five.
