The Tool You Need to Win the Subcontractor Game

By Danielle Basch, Leap. 

Use Leap to get top dollar on every job, protect your margins, keep subs busy and pay them more.  

It’s 2022 and we are still navigating a labor shortage. We know that you are looking for workers, but it can be tricky to know if you are offering a competitive salary when you don’t know what other companies around you are paying. That is why Leap has developed a tool that helps you find the data and insights you need to know exactly how to properly compensate your workers for their labor. 

Leap, a digital tool used by residential roofing companies to sell in the home, took Home Advisor’s 2022 Average Price for Roof Replacement, average labor cost (25%), and U.S. Census Average Residential Roof Size to bring you the average labor cost per square by state.

It’s time to win 

Residential roofing contractors use Leap to control and protect margins. When you protect margin, you can pay your subs well. The reason why you don’t pay your subs as much as your competition is because you don’t really know what they charge for the job. If you want to win in the subcontractor game, you need to pay subs well. 

The margin insights and price control you’re missing 

• Mass price tool. Make easy updates to price in real time for when those ever-changing labor and material costs hit. 

• Missing required fields notifications. Set guardrails to prevent errors and redundancies in your sales process. 

• Custom formulas. Limit discounting, add mark up, and price floor controls help sales reps accurately price jobs. Never worry about sales reps applying too large at the price dispute with Leap. 

Have you seen margin controls like this? 

Homeowners pay more when they have a seamless and professional customer experience. Within Leap, you can build your $130 labor cost per square into the estimate. This price control and transparency allows you to close at a higher margin, more frequently. So, now instead of charging $450 per square and paying your guy $90, you can charge $650 per square and pay your guy $130. Now you’re paying your subs well and achieving top-line margin!
