If you're a roofing contractor spending more time in your truck on the phone than on the roof or with customers, you’re not alone.
Admin work has become a silent productivity killer in the roofing world—draining hours, increasing stress, and stalling growth.
The good news? You don’t have to do it all yourself. Let’s talk about the top 7 admin tasks holding you back—and how to finally offload them.
The Real Cost of Doing It All Yourself
Trying to juggle every part of your roofing business on your own might seem like a cost-effective thing to do, but it’s slowing you down.
Every hour spent on paperwork or scheduling is an hour not spent closing deals, managing crews, or growing your company.
Worse, admin overload leads to missed calls, forgotten follow-ups, and burnout. It’s not sustainable—and it’s not necessary.
The 7 Admin Tasks Slowing You Down
1. Inbound Calls & Lead Follow-Ups
Missed calls = missed jobs. But constantly answering the phone isn’t a smart use of your time. A virtual assistant can handle call intake and lead tracking while you stay focused on work.
2. Estimates & Takeoffs
Using tools like Xactimate, Roofr, or PlanSwift takes time, training, and expensive software. Offloading this to an experienced estimator speeds up your bidding process and helps you win more jobs.
3. Insurance Supplements
Chasing insurance companies, writing detailed supplements, and waiting on approvals can drag down your timelines. Hand it off and get paid what you’re owed—faster.
4. Bookkeeping & Invoicing
Reconciling receipts, sending invoices, and tracking cash flow eat up hours every week. A back-office team can keep your books in order and your cash flowing.
5. Customer Scheduling & Admin
Coordinating schedules, follow-up calls, and job confirmations are time-consuming. A remote admin assistant can keep your calendar running smoothly.
6. Marketing & Social Media
If you’re not marketing online, you’re missing leads. But posting regularly, managing ads, and writing content takes time. A marketing partner can do the heavy lifting while you stay on the job.
7. CRM/Data Entry
Manually updating project info and entering customer data into your CRM is important—but tedious. A back-office assistant can keep your systems up to date without pulling you away from the field.

You don’t need to hire a full-time team or spend thousands on software licenses to solve these problems.
