In this episode of The Roofing Millionaires, we sit down with Aaron Haddock - someone who operates on both sides of the industry:

• Commercial sales

• Roofing supply

• East Texas market dynamics

This isn’t a promotional conversation but a behind-the-scenes breakdown of how commercial roofing actually works.

We discuss:

- Why smaller contractors get overlooked by suppliers

- How material allocation really works during shortages

- What you must do to earn better pricing

- Where contractors miscalculate margins on large jobs

- How to make more money from accessories

- The two things that matter most in commercial sales

- Why tight margins are usually a strategy problem

- How niching down in commercial roofing increases pricing power

If you’re bidding commercial jobs and wondering why the numbers feel tight…

If you feel like big companies always get better treatment…

If you’re trying to move from transactional work to positioned expertise…

This episode will force you to rethink how you operate. Watch carefully.

For the third time on The Roofing Millionaires, Jason A Morris returns but this time, the conversation isn’t about growth tactics or sales numbers.

It’s about maturity.

Six years into building Teflon Roofing, Jason reflects on the shift from “making mistakes at 100 miles per hour” to becoming more cautious, intentional, and self-aware as a leader.

We discuss:

• How founders become the biggest bottleneck in their own company

• When delegation and automation actually slow you down

• The risk of relying too heavily on one key employee

• Why commission-based roofing sales structures may be fundamentally broken

• The difference between chasing growth and knowing your limits

• Teaching toughness in fatherhood in a culture that rewards softness

• And why the people we idolize may not be who we think they are

This episode is not about bragging.

It’s about ownership.

Of your flaws.

Of your systems.

Of your responsibility as a leader.

If you’re building a business and feel stuck - this one will challenge you.
