The Hidden Cost of Being a Roofing Owner with Erick Hernandez
Manage episode 518846018 series 3475220
Most reps don’t realize what it really costs to run a roofing company…
Everyone wants to be the boss.
Make the big money.
Call the shots.
But no one talks about the real cost —
👉 The stress
👉 The sacrifice
👉 And the leadership it takes to keep the culture strong
In this episode, Erick Hernandez from E&D Premier Roofing shares how he built his company from the kitchen island, to a full team of 30+… and why just being a top sales rep doesn’t mean you’re ready to run the show.
Inside, you’ll hear:
✅ The truth about overhead, margins, and profit splits
✅ How to build a sales-driven culture without sacrificing values
✅ And why most new owners fail when they try to “go out on their own”
If you’re an owner (or thinking about becoming one) you need to watch this.
Watch now to learn what most people never talk about.
