“Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to stand out and try.” – Zig Ziglar
There have been many stories of how our nationwide contractor support network has been presenting life-changing opportunities. But we really got to see things in action when Senior Mentor, Sam Hostetler, took to the road for a three-week tour across the United States.
Over those many days, Sam spoke with not only people already involved, but also individuals looking to see how they could benefit from joining the network. The trip was inspiring on many levels, but especially in regards to how important it can be to commercial roofers to take full advantage of the marketing, mentorship and training opportunities offered to them, as well as the rewards experienced by Sam, as he works alongside and experiences the growth potential in each individual.
6,500+ Mile Trip Across the United States
From Montana to Texas, Colorado to Georgia; the nationwide tour presented unique opportunities to connect with many new as well as experienced contractors who were at different stages of their business involvement in commercial roofing. The roofers Sam met with became enthralled with the idea of using the Conklin coatings and membranes because of the proven track record the company is known for and they also quickly recognized the income-building potential that is attractive to roofing contractors during times when income is typically decreasing – such as off-season or as they approach retirement age. Another area that Sam found to be appealing to the roofers he spoke with on his trip is the service guarantee that is offered to contractors who choose to become a part of the Choice Roof opportunity because being able to offer this type of guarantee even when companies go out of business or change hands is a huge selling point.
Sam met with plenty of new contractors and salespeople at the two-day hands-on Conklin roof systems training, including the team from KCI Roofing, Cudeso, Bright Spot Wind & Solar, and an equipment dealer’s sales representative. These businessmen came from all over the U.S. to learn about Conklin roof products and to experience in person the important benefits of joining our network being offered to them, including:

Next, Sam traveled to Georgia, where he met with contractors and our partner, Spray Foam Systems. Energy efficiency is so important, especially in today’s economy, and Spray Foam Systems partnership gives roofing contractors joining the network the ability to offer spray foam roofing and insulation services. In addition, Spray Foam Systems also provides free, live technical support on their equipment and has the capability to ship immediately all ordered parts and supplies to guarantee customer satisfaction with delivery.
In Texas, Sam was excited to meet up with and to introduce the network to Cory Stone, president of Ultimate Choice Roofing in Lewisville, Texas. During Sam’s stay, Cory made the decision to add Conklin products to his portfolio. Other contractors Sam spoke with include Kyle Davis of Super Roof Man of Fort Worth, TX and Michael Rankin of Horizon Construction in Austin, TX. Sam also liaised with team members Brian Reid and Ian Myers. Sam was able to connect with these and many more high caliber people on his trip, all of whom were attracted to the exciting benefits being offered because they were quick to realize that this is the only business opportunity that allows people to go out and the more they help fellow roofers by bringing them into the network, this will in turn lead to a higher level of success for them as well.
Leaving Texas, Sam traveled to Montana, passing through Colorado along the way; meeting and greeting many more roofing contractors interested in building relationships, adding great products and services to their portfolios and receiving the mentorship and support from expert commercial roofers. Sam became convinced that building a network with the Choice Roof Contractor Group and giving as many contractors the opportunity to receive the tools, support and opportunity they need to grow their companies was the way to go for everyone involved. The networking opportunity offered allows everyone involved to make a lot more for themselves and to go further than they may have dreamed or imagined they could achieve on their own. What has been created so far is but a drop in the bucket and there is still an “untouched frontier” to develop in the roofing industry. Choice Roof Contractor Group has proven its ability to build up successful commercial roofing businesses for contractors, and expert mentorship is the vessel that will allow virtually anyone with the entrepreneurial dream to achieve their financial and business desires.

For one, the membrane coating system requires more extensive preparation than a single coating application. The existing commercial roof surface must be vigorously cleansed and prepared before the membrane coating system’s primer is applied. Because of the extensive prep work involved, the membrane coating system tends to be more long-lasting than a simple coating application does.
Here are a few other reasons that put the value of white roof coatings in context:
The most successful business owners didn’t necessarily have these traits come to them naturally, though. They were qualities that they had to develop over time. From a personal standpoint, developing these traits in one’s life is a matter of time and commitment. It just requires being aware of the areas that could be better and setting goals each daily to improve them.
In terms of labor, the construction industry is expected to grow over the next decade or so. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that 1.6 million new jobs will be added to the construction industry between 2012 and 2022. On top of this 10-year projection, the Department of Labor forecasts the construction labor market will grow by 2.6% each year.
When selecting a Conklin roofing contractor, the building owner benefits from much more than just reliable, long-term protection. Conklin roofing systems offer tremendous energy savings, reduced long-term maintenance costs, less impact on the environmental, and non-prorated warranties spanning up to 20 years.
To be able to install warrantied Conklin roofing systems, contractors are required to go to product training for in-depth classroom and hands-on instruction in proper application regardless of how much experience they have. In this training program, professionals learn the correct applications of Conklin products for all roof types and the troubleshooting of issues.
Conklin’s coating systems have been shown to last for decades, a remarkable feat in the building industry, and these roof restoration systems stand out with non-prorated warranties. In addition, since the mid 1970s these products have been installed on over 2 billion square feet of roofing throughout the United States, and many of them are still performing at high standards today.
According to industry experts, “fully adhered” refers to when a roofing product, such as 
As a nationwide network of commercial roofing specialists, Choice Roof Contractor Group understands the benefits and challenges that come with a fully adhered roof. That is why members of Choice Roof Contractors offer a 
Gone are the days when professionals rely solely on cold calling or print advertising to grow successful businesses; especially in highly competitive markets such as construction and roofing. Highly profitable companies today utilize niche-networking opportunities to attract a steady flow of fresh prospective customers. Companies subject to the ebb and flow of seasonal work can especially benefit from contacts made while networking with others.
The owner of KCI Roofing, a large residential roofing company that did as much as $12 million in annual sales with 25 salespeople before the great recession, found us online last month while researching the best way to enter the commercial roofing industry and within a few days decided to sign up himself and two of his best salespeople to go to this month’s roof systems warranty eligibility training classes.
Maksim Cruz, part owner of a residential and commercial construction, real estate investment and property management company, has a strong background in architectural design and engineering. He saw great value in Conklin’s roof coatings which work as a seamless, renewable roofing system without requiring tear-off of the existing roofing system.
Scott Hackney, owner of Bright Spot Wind and Solar, happens to be a personal friend of Jonathan Keim. He drove over 700 miles to be part of this month’s warranty training classes.
Dave Chwalibog of Spray Foam Systems also attended. We’ve been looking forward to meeting him for months and had a great time connecting over the two-day warranty training event and a great steakhouse dinner where we shared the best ways to grow in the commercial roofing market with everyone who attended the Conklin product training event.
Many entrepreneurs are attracted to the prospect of starting their own roofing business. But starting and running a roofing company can be demanding, and it is probably more suitable for people who like working with their hands or enjoy the rigors of the construction industry.

The roofing products we use, Conklin® roofing systems, are ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they meet tailored standards for thermal reflectivity. Because of their highly-reflective roof surfacing, Conklin® roofs make buildings use less energy and become more energy-efficient. That, in turn, reduces a building’s dependence on the electricity energy grid, and less carbon emissions are released into the air as a result.
