Owner
Exterior Medics / Springfield, Va.
2019 Revenue: $16 Million
Roofing trends: We’ve been seeing a higher influx in designer shingles for asphalt roofing. Homeowners ask about it because it allows them to get a premium look on their asphalt roof without having to change the material. Also, I can’t not mention the trend-elephant in the room: metal roofing, which appears to be getting more and more popular. Metal offers a host of benefits such as longevity and low maintenance but boasts a higher price tag. Lastly, solar shingles are the future. Exterior Medics continues to research this technology and measure client demand, and we look forward to adding this segment to our business in the near future.
Combating the labor shortage: It’s common for construction companies to have high turnover. That’s why a positive company culture is so important. Hire on the personality, train on the skill. You focus on bringing enthusiastic, bright, and vibrant people in, and the rest manifests.
