As a business owner, it is important to know all aspects of your business, including the industry in which you operate. This is especially true in the roofing industry, where there are many challenges and obstacles that can arise. By understanding these challenges and knowing how to navigate them, you can better lead your team and provide the best possible service to your customers.

I, Joe Sargeant, have been in the roofing industry for over 15 years. I started at the very bottom and worked my way up to business owner through hard work and determination. Along the way, I faced many challenges and learned a lot about the industry. This experience has allowed me to lead through empathy and understand the challenges that my team faces on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, there are many “roofing businesses” out there that are run by people who don’t have a deep understanding of the industry. This can create a divide between the business owner and the team members who are doing the actual work, leading to resentment and a lack of cohesion.

At Sargeants Roofing & Exteriors, my focus is on helping and mentoring the next generation of roofers who are just getting started in the industry. By teaching them how to build and manage a crew and team, and by leading through understanding and empathy, I hope to help them become successful and thrive in their careers.

In short, it is important to know all aspects of your business, especially in an industry like roofing. By understanding the challenges and working to build a cohesive team, you can provide the best possible service to your customers and set your business up for success.
