About
Why Rick Edwards
Why Rick Edwards
Stands Out
Grew up in a family business specializing in metal awnings. In high school worked in the family business that was doing about 1000 jobs a year. This family business had systems in place so I was a witness to that at a young age.
So of course, my goals were pretty strong and my confidence was there to do even bigger and better than that.
In 2003 my company was named by qualified remodeler magazine the 27th largest contractor as well as top performer in the Sunroom specialty category.

The million dollar presentation
Rehash; revenue recovery
The future of the largest investment is at stake and if you put your home in the hands of Rain Dog Roofing, the future is secure.
Roofers are undependable. Period. You are lucky when they show up for a Sales appointment/Quote and then very very lucky if they show up with the tools and skills to do a good job.
My customers always care about warranties, but in my experience, I found that they rarely receive one because other contractors have to pay for them and our are provided to you through us by the manufacturer no expense to you or us.

The Organization
Rain Dog Roofing
The Rain Dog Roofing Business Model
Rain Dog Roofing was developed from more than 50 years of experience in the home improvement industry and a business background that exceeded $30 million in annual sales.
The foundation of the system comes from the success of a group of companies specializing in custom sunrooms, completing more than 2,000 projects annually. This experience included every aspect of operating a successful home improvement organization, including retail sales, sales management, sales training, telemarketing, advertising, manufacturing, installation, customer service, and executive management.
After years of refining systems and studying the home improvement marketplace, we identified residential roofing as an exceptional opportunity for entrepreneurs. Roofing offers strong consumer demand, rapid installation cycles, limited capital requirements, and the opportunity to generate substantial profits without the need for large offices, warehouses, trucks, or manufacturing facilities.
To prove the concept, a prototype roofing company was developed and refined. The result was a highly streamlined retail roofing business capable of producing approximately $250,000 in annual net profit while selling fewer than 100 roofing projects per year.
Today, Rain Dog Roofing provides entrepreneurs with the opportunity to own and operate their own protected territory while leveraging proven systems for:
* Marketing
* Lead Generation
* Appointment Setting
* Sales
* Financing
* Production Management
* Administration
* Financial Reporting
* Business Supervision
Rain Dog Roofing dealers receive ongoing training, coaching, accountability, and support from experienced professionals who have built and operated successful home improvement companies at the highest levels.
The objective is simple:
Help independent entrepreneurs build valuable, profitable roofing companies while avoiding the costly mistakes that cause so many contractors to struggle or fail.
Rain Dog Roofing is designed to provide a faster path to ownership, profitability, and long-term business value through proven systems, professional training, exclusive territories, and continuous dealer support.
