Residential roofing business?

Does anyone here have experience acquiring or operating a residential roofing business? There are a few roofing businesses in my target size range listed for sale in my market so wanted to understand them better.

I would love to learn more about the industry dynamics and what it's like to operate the business from sercher's perspective. If you leave a comment, I'll follow up with a DM.

Thanks!

Here is the Acquisitions Anonymous episode on a roofing business. I had just listened to it. Worth a listen. Some good insights--e.g., 1) on financing, it's project work so can be harder to finance, keep leverage low 2) what are you really buying--lead gen acquisition funnel? 3) Better to build vs. buy? 4) is labor contract vs. owned--skilled trade labor in short supply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLZTXH4RsfQ.

I'm also looking into acquiring a roofing company. I spent a day shadowing the owner. Lots of work to get things where I want them, but then again there-in lies the true value creation right? Would definitely be interested in connecting though.
