Lately I’ve been thinking about using this Twitter thing more for my businesses and seeing where it leads me.

I’ll kick it off with an intro of where we are at this point:

- Started 3 Businesses over the past 5 years with one of my best friends that I met in college

- Both of us were average students that learned how to pass classes rather than learn information and graduated with Economics degrees

- We both got W2 jobs immediately until landing in roofing sales roles (1099)

- Started up our first Company, North Tarrant Christmas Lights, 5 years ago and have grown it to 180k/yr Biz

- Started up our main Company, Upright Roofing and Construction, 2.5 years ago and have done 3m the first two years but we are expecting to hit 5m this year.

- Started Outright Paintless Dent Repair this year, which hasn’t taken off like we’ve hoped but have done about 15k thus far.

Getting ready to close on my first STR property (Lakehouse)

What are some tips/tricks for self managing? I feel like I have most of the basics down but wanted to hear from any vets in the space.

House also came with a PWC and Boat, leaning toward opening up a separate entity for renting those out. Any advice is welcome in this space as well.

@stevehunsaker1 It gets even more necessary to get paid once kids are on the table. But everything is possible, keep forward momentum and don’t sweat the small things

@BalconesRoofing Oh nooooo

[Ryan Robinson 🏠🔨 @Ry__Rob]

@BalconesRoofing Fell for it once… was decent except for the fact that there were 2 others with roofing cos right next to it 😂

Told them, they said they were expired or expiring and would be removed soon.

They weren’t and at the end of our contract, ours was removed immediately 😅

@Hayden__Slack I did. And then proceeded to try quite a few different efforts beyond the initial. Feels close but not fully complete or trustworthy

I’m looking for some Claude help

I’m super interested in the power of AI and play with it a decent amount but feel like my projects ask too much of it but see people do much cooler things.

I’m looking to link Claude to my inbound invoices email, save the PDF, sort it to a mail folder, and then the tricky part is - I’d like it to scan the document for totals owed, input into my CRM system job folder based on address and then enter as a payment.

Acculynx is the CRM for reference

This would likely work well for high wind events in roofing like hurricanes and tornados

Would probably be fairly difficult to differentiate hail damage on roofs via satellite but there’s likely some end arounds.

If there’s a way to pull historical data to trigger a “change event” I.e. this house was built in 2010, the roof was “changed” in 2018.

Now we bring in hail mapping crossover and say build me a list of roofs 8+ years old if the hail was 1.25” or larger. Or 5+ years if 2.5” hail etc.

@sodacitysimpson let’s build this

😮 BASEBALL SIZE HAIL FALLING IN PARTS OF TEXAS.

🎥: @JacobLanierWx

[Probably Austin’s Best Roofer @BalconesRoofing]

Tomorrow's hail outlook for the state looks pretty gnarly.

Austin & San Antonio could be prime targets for large to very large hail if this threat creeps further to the southeast.

Don't forget to bring your roofs inside! 😇

@pestctrlguy @CollinJHumphrey It cost 25k to do, marked it up 40%

[Ryan Robinson 🏠🔨 @Ry__Rob]

Texas

Retail:
50% due when materials are dropped
50% due on completion, final job walk
Sometimes 100% on completion if small, non complex

Insurance:
We do deductible + First insurance check day of install (might change to deductible due at contract signing)
Final insurance check due when received from insurance, called depreciation check
