Most roofers hire the wrong people.
They’re too quick to say “yes.”
And too slow to fire.
That’s what David Dees did at first. And it cost him MILLIONS.
But then… he fixed it.
In this episode, David shares how he went from supply rep at Beacon…
To building a roofing company that wins new construction, service work, and multifamily jobs — in under 4 years.
You’ll see:
✅ Why your hires can sink your company (fast)
✅ How to build a team that actually lasts
✅ What to do if you’ve hired the wrong person
✅ And why some builders FIRED him… and then came back later
This is a must-watch for anyone trying to build a real roofing company. Not just sell jobs.
It’s all about people, systems, and culture.
David shows how to hire right, fire fast, and build a team you’re proud of.
