This Dropping Bombs episode delivers a roofing business in a box with Brad Strawbridge and Blake Grissom, the founders behind Capital City Roofing, a two-year-old company on pace for $10 million this year, and BuilderLync, the roofing operating system built to replace a pile of disconnected software.

They break down the $15,000 licensing model that lets top salespeople launch their own roofing brand without a franchise, the AI-powered estimating that wins six-figure bids, and an exit plan that ties every branch to a platform-level payday.

If you’re the best closer at someone else’s company, this conversation shows exactly what’s standing between you and your own.

Brad Strawbridge (Capital City Roofing Founder/CEO; BuilderLync Co-Founder/CEO) with Blake Grissom (BuilderLync Co-Founder/CSO; Charleston CCR Licensing licensee, Revive Roofing and Exteriors powered by Capital City Roofing). Non-franchise licensing: $15k entry, capped 5%, ~14-day CCU.
