Operator-Led. Not Theory-Driven.

Most commercial roofing service departments are run the way they've always been run — because no one's had time to step back and fix what's broken. Revenue is inconsistent, margin is invisible, and every branch reinvents the wheel.

I built UpServ Solutions to close that gap. I'm not a consulting firm that shows up with frameworks and slide decks. I'm an operator who's built and rebuilt commercial roofing service departments — and I know the specific places where money gets left on the table.

The approach is direct: find the two or three moves that will make the biggest difference in your operation, build the systems to support them, and get your team running them independently. No ongoing dependency. No vague deliverables.

Operator-led, with senior advisors brought in for engagements that call for additional bandwidth. When we engage, we work as an extension of your leadership — alongside your team, inside your workflows, speaking the language of operators.

Service is leaving money on the table

Most multi-location roofing companies have a service department that runs on instinct, inconsistency, and inherited habits. It doesn't have to.

Unpredictable Margins

Time-and-materials pricing means your profitability changes job to job. No one can tell you what service really makes — and field teams have no incentive to be efficient.

Emergency Calls Going Nowhere

A customer calls with a leak. You dispatch, you look, you quote — three days later. Competitor was there same-day. You never hear back.

No Repeatable Playbook

What works in one branch doesn't make it to the next. Growth means starting over in every market instead of copying what's already working.

Service Treated as an Afterthought

New construction or re-roofing gets the attention. Service limps along — even though it's your highest-margin, most recurring revenue stream when run right.

We fix what's costing you revenue.

We work across the full service revenue cycle — sales, estimating, field operations, and billing. Every engagement is different because every operation is different. The playbook is ours. The starting point is always yours.

Quotes Taking Weeks — or Months

A customer calls with a leak. By the time a quote lands in their inbox, they've already hired someone else. In most roofing service departments, weeks is the norm. It doesn't have to be.

Pricing That Doesn't Travel

What a job costs depends on who's quoting it and which branch they're in. Inconsistent pricing means inconsistent margin — and no way to fix what you can't measure.

Clients Left in the Dark

Property managers and facilities directors are chasing updates, waiting on paperwork, and receiving documentation long after work is completed. They shouldn't have to ask.

Invisible Margin

You know what jobs cost to do. You're less sure what they're actually making. When pricing isn't structured, margin is a guess.

No Repeatable Process

What works in one branch lives in one person's head. When they leave, or when you open a new location, you start over.

Service Revenue That Stays Flat

Emergency calls get handled. Maintenance agreements don't get discussed. Recurring revenue stays on the table.

If any of these are familiar, there's revenue in your operation that isn't being captured. That's what the discovery conversation is for.

Start the Conversation

The numbers speak for themselves.

A multi-location commercial roofing contractor was fielding emergency repair calls the way most companies do. Quotes were taking weeks to months. Upsell opportunities on those calls were nearly nonexistent. Clients were waiting on documentation and billing long after work was completed.

We went into the operation, talked to the people doing the work, and identified where revenue was leaking. Then we fixed it.

What Changed

  • Emergency repair quote turnaround: weeks to months → same day or next day
  • Emergency upsell capture rate (field crew flagging the work): 5% → 60%
  • Close rate on same-day quoted emergency upsells: 75%
  • Close rate on longer-cycle work — TI projects and maintenance contracts: ~45%, a meaningful lift from baseline
  • Clients informed and billed before they had to ask
  • Property managers stopped chasing paperwork
  • Service revenue increased meaningfully within the first quarter
  • Process replicated consistently across all branches

The specifics of how we got there are what you engage us for. If your operation looks anything like this one did, the discovery call is where we start.

Three ways to engage

Every engagement starts with understanding your specific operation. No two service departments are the same — and the playbook gets built to fit yours.

01

Assessment

A structured diagnostic that identifies the right levers in your service operation and prioritizes them by impact. Leaves you with a clear action plan — whether or not you engage further.

02

Implementation

Full rollout of one or both marquee plays — flat-rate pricing and same-day quoting — built around your team, your workflows, and your market. Done in weeks, not quarters.

03

Advisory

Ongoing monthly support after implementation. Access to an experienced operator as you scale, add branches, or face new service challenges. Keeps momentum going.

Engagements typically range from $10K (assessment) to $75K+ (implementation), with monthly advisory available. Scope is based on your operation, team size, and number of locations. Reach out to start the conversation — we'll recommend the right entry point after a brief discovery call.

Built for operators who are serious about service.

UpServ Solutions works best with companies that already have a service department — and want to make it a real revenue engine.

Great Fit

  • Multi-location commercial roofing contractors (independent)
  • PE-backed roofing platforms scaling service across acquisitions
  • Companies with an existing service department that isn't performing
  • Operators ready to move from instinct-driven to systems-driven
  • Leaders who want service to match the margin of their project work
  • Single-location operators with a clear plan to grow

Not the Right Fit

  • Residential roofing companies
  • Single-location companies not planning to grow
  • Companies looking for software implementation only
  • Businesses not yet generating service revenue

Simple to start. Fast to deliver.

No lengthy onboarding. No waiting months to see results.

Common Questions

How long does a typical engagement take? +

Assessment: 2–3 weeks. Implementation: scoped to your operation and number of locations. Advisory: ongoing monthly. We'll give you a clear timeline after the discovery call.

Will this disrupt my field crews? +

Not if it's done right. Rollout is phased, your team is brought along, not surprised. Most crews adapt faster than ownership expects.

Do you work with single-location companies? +

Yes, if there's a growth trajectory or a specific problem worth solving. Our methodology is built for multi-location complexity but the fundamentals apply at any size.

Do you sign NDAs? +

Yes. We sign NDAs as standard practice. Clients share sensitive operational data and we treat that with complete confidentiality.

How do you handle change management with the team? +

We address the people side explicitly — not as an afterthought. That includes how we introduce new pricing, how dispatchers explain it to customers, and how we incentivize field techs to embrace the change. We've done this before and we know where the friction points are.

What does an assessment actually include? +

An assessment covers: your current pricing model and margin visibility, dispatch and quoting workflow, upsell capture rates, service ticket data, branch-level consistency, and a prioritized action plan. You leave with clarity on where the real leverage is — whether or not you engage us further.

Are you software-agnostic or tied to a specific platform? +

Fully software-agnostic. We've worked across Jobber, ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, Salesforce Field Service, and custom-built systems. We build processes that work within your existing tech stack — we're not here to sell you software.

What kinds of results have you seen? +

The clearest data point is the emergency upsell capture rate going from 5% to 60% at a multi-location commercial roofing contractor — with a 75% close rate on same-day quoted emergency upsells, and ~45% on longer-cycle TI and maintenance work. Flat-rate migrations have consistently improved margin visibility and reduced billing disputes across engagements.

Where are you based / do you travel? +

We're based in the western US and work remotely by default. We travel for on-site work when the engagement scope warrants it — typically during implementation kickoffs or when working directly with field crews.

How do I get started? +

Reach out via the contact form below or book a 30-minute discovery call. We'll ask a few questions about your operation and recommend the right starting point — assessment, implementation, or a direct conversation about scope.
