Opportunity Summary:
Storm Guard is the largest residential roofing and construction
franchise in the US, offering quality insurance and non-insurance
construction expertise and services to homeowners and business
owners in need of roofing services stemming from storm damage or
age. A property is only as strong as its roof. On average
residential roofs need to be replaced every 20-25 years, but the
impact of severe weather can dramatically reduce that time horizon.
Hail alone has affected over 10 million US properties annually
since 2014. Alarmingly, it can take months or years after a storm
occurs for roof damage to be noticeable to the property owner,
which is often too late to file an insurance claim. Many of our
customers are not aware of the damage their homes have suffered
until they are approached by Storm Guard! Through education and
quick response following inclement weather, Storm Guard protects
and preserves the value of residential and commercial assets within
every community served.
In any economy, people need a safe place to raise their family
and conduct business. The roofing industry is an essential,
recession resistant, and growing business sector expected to reach
$19.9 billion by 2021. The industry is fragmented, unprofessional,
and even abusive to customers. Many roofing companies do not have
permanent locations, and instead move from one city to the next,
chasing storms, and providing substandard services without
warranties. In the most egregious of cases, taking deposits without
completing the build. In contrast, Storm Guard franchisees are
local professionals who provide top quality work and act with
integrity. Storm Guard's franchisees' collective vision is to
empower homeowners to trust their local contractors. Storm Guard
franchisees benefit from industry leading training and support,
distributor and supplier relationships, weather and aerial
measurement technology, task management systems for sales,
production and invoicing, and the sharing of best practices from
their Storm Guard family members. They are committed to raising the
service level standard in the industry and back their work proudly
with an industry leading 5 year workmanship warranty.
A Storm Guard owner's role is dynamic. Your candidate will build
a team of sales professionals who will canvass neighborhoods,
educating and selling Storm Guard's services to property owners. As
their business grows, much of their work will come through
referrals from happy customers, insurance agents, and insurance
adjusters. Your candidate will also manage construction of their
jobs by building and managing a network of suppliers and
subcontractors, and eventually a production manager. Although the
core of our business is in roof replacement, we also offer the
following services: roof repair, siding repair and replacement,
window replacement, gutter installation, painting, and emergency
tarping.
At Storm Guard, our mission in simple: To become the country's
most respected residential roofing company through hard work,
perseverance, and acting with integrity.
