Roofing Business
Provide roof installation, repair, and replacement services. Average job size is around $20,000, putting it in a high-revenue category compared to other home services. However, high ticket sizes attract sophisticated operators who spend heavily on marketing, making customer acquisition more competitive and expensive. Good margins but requires significant capital and skilled labor.
