Roofing carries the highest safety overhead in the trades and the most weather risk. If neither is in the price, every wet week costs you twice.
We work on pricing re-roofs, repairs and insurance jobs with their real costs in (height safety, scaffold, weather days, waste), a quoting and follow-up process that converts the storm-season rush into booked work, and a crew and schedule that keep going when you are off site.
Coaching is one-on-one with Tamika, online, wherever you are in Australia. Weekly calls and help between them.
Roofing carries costs no other trade has to explain to a customer. Height safety, edge protection, scaffold, harness gear, the day lost because it rained at ten and the sheets were already on the ground. Most roofers know these costs exist and most quotes do not carry them, because the quote was built to beat the other quote rather than to pay for the job.
Coaching puts them in. A re-roof is priced with safety, waste, weather days and the crane in; a repair is priced as a service call with its own rate, not a cut-down re-roof; insurance work is priced for the paperwork and the waiting. From there comes a quoting and follow-up process, because storm season brings fifty enquiries in a week and the business that answers, quotes and books them in order wins the season.
Then the systems. A schedule that survives a wet week without three phone calls to every client. A crew that can strip and sheet to your standard with you on another roof or in the office. And the numbers, by job, so you can see which work makes money when the weather is on your side and which only looks busy.
Hourly rates and material markups both hide your real margin. Here is how to price trade work from your true cost per productive hour, with a worked example.

Yes. A repair is a service call: travel, inspection, a minimum charge and a rate for the work. Pricing it as a small re-roof loses money on every one. Coaching sets the service rate.
With a process: a way to log every enquiry, quote fast, book in order and follow up. Coaching builds the process and the follow-up so the rush becomes booked work rather than missed calls.
It can be, priced for the paperwork, the approvals and the slow payment. Coaching works out whether it makes money for your business and what terms to set if it does.
