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
✔ The role retirement plans play in retaining skilled workers
✔ How state and federal regulations impact contractors
✔ The importance of integrated HR platforms for contractors
✔ How simplifying back-office systems can increase profitability

If you're a roofing contractor who wants help simplifying HR, payroll, compliance, and employee benefits, Paul offers a business assessment session to identify operational gaps and opportunities to improve efficiency.

During this session you can discuss:

• Payroll and certified payroll systems
• Employee benefits and retention strategies
• HR management and workforce systems
• State and federal compliance requirements
• Ways to streamline back-office operations

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:

✔ How fear silently impacts decision-making
✔ The difference between reactive and responsive leadership
✔ Why “manifestation” doesn’t work without rewiring your brain

This isn’t airy-fairy motivation.

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

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.

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

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.

Roofing contractors don’t fail because they lack skill, they struggle because no one ever taught them how to think like a business owner instead of a technician.

In this episode of the Roofing Business Growth Circle Podcast, Jacques Skuteeki sits down with Wayne Pratt, master networker, Jack Canfield–certified coach, and author of Freshly Brewed Coaching, to unpack how coaching, mindset, and clarity help roofers build profitable, exit-ready businesses.

Wayne explains why so many roofers go from wearing a tool belt to managing 10+ employees without systems, leadership skills, or a clear vision, and how coaching helps them step back, gain clarity, and finally work on the business instead of in it.

If you’re a roofer or home repair contractor who wants:

• ✔ More profit
• ✔ Better systems
• ✔ A business that doesn’t depend on you every day
• ✔ A clear path toward freedom or exit

…this conversation will hit home.

✔ Why most roofers accidentally become technicians instead of business owners

✔ The biggest mindset shift required to scale a roofing company

✔ How coaching helps contractors gain clarity without overwhelm

✔ Why working harder isn’t the answer to growth

✔ How to prepare your roofing business to be sellable or self-managing

✔ The “Be, Do, Have” framework for business and personal goals

✔ How better communication improves employee performance

✔ Why belief in yourself comes before systems, SOPs, or marketing

Wayne Pratt is a Jack Canfield–certified trainer, master networker, and author of Freshly Brewed Coaching: Crafting a Bold New You.
