The Real Stages of Growing a Roofing Business with Zachiary Kuper
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most roofing businesses don’t fail because of bad sales… they fail because they don’t understand what stage they’re in.
In this episode, Zachiary Kuper breaks down what growth really looks like—from getting off the ground to managing crews, sales teams, and the daily chaos that comes with scaling.
With over 15 years in the industry, Zach shares what he’s learned building and running S&K Construction And Remodeling, where he now oversees multiple crews, sales reps, and project managers while staying deeply involved in sales and operations.
You’ll hear how he approaches leadership, keeps his team moving, and delivers a customer experience that actually builds long-term success.
If you’re trying to grow your company, build a stronger team, or figure out what comes next… this will help you see the path more clearly.
