One hail storm, a hundred flat roofs and a short window. Be found when it hits, then win the maintenance programs that keep you on the roof between storms.
How your customers buy
- Who calls: facility managers, property managers and owners of office, retail, industrial and multifamily buildings. Commercial roofing also has bid processes, specifiers and general contractors.
- What they need: a leak stopped now; then an assessment they can take to their insurer or board; then a repair or replacement plan.
- What decides the next job: a maintenance program and inspection schedule. The roofer who does the semi-annual inspection is the one who gets called after the storm.
Where jobs get lost
- “Hail hit on Tuesday. By Friday every facility manager in the zip code had three cards on their desk. Yours wasn’t one of them.”
- “You replaced the roof on one building in 2023. Nobody scheduled the inspection.”
What matters most
- Be found first, especially in the days after a storm. Ads move fastest, and storm-response pages go up before the season.
- Win back open quotes. Commercial roof quotes sit for weeks waiting on budgets and boards.
- Get on the vendor list, through maintenance programs and inspections.

Questions
We get most of our work from GCs and bids. Does this still apply?
The bid work is a separate pipeline. We focus on the service, repair and maintenance work that comes straight from building owners and managers, and it smooths out the gaps between bids.
Isn’t storm marketing just for residential?
Residential is louder. Commercial storm work is fewer calls at much higher value, and it goes to whoever the facility manager already knows.
The next emergency is already on its way.
