Hi all, I’m currently evaluating the acquisition of a unionized roofing company and would love to connect with anyone who has direct experience — whether as an owner, operator, or investor — in this space. I’m particularly interested in hearing about: • The operational realities of running a union shop in roofing/construction • Common challenges with labor relations, CBAs, and compliance • How unions impact margins, bidding competitiveness, and scalability • Best practices for building a strong relationship with the union while maintaining flexibility • Any “watch outs” you wish you’d known before acquiring My goal is to get a balanced perspective — both the upsides and the pain points — so I can make an informed decision before moving forward. If you’ve walked this path and are open to sharing your experience, I’d really appreciate your insights. Happy to connect via DM, phone, or Zoom at your convenience.

We are on it in Germany. Perhaps it would be more useful to speak with someone in the US. There are several searchers with roofing companies here.

Let me know your status! We run a D2D sales company, and have been chatting with companies to handle growth/sales with the installer.
