General Manager

Residential Roofing
Southfield, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 3/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/24/2026

The Opportunity

We are seeking a high-caliber, hands-on leader to join as a General Manager for a residential roofing company. This isn't just a job; it’s a true partnership. You will lead the operational heart of the business, focusing on high-quality replacements.

The ideal candidate is a veteran of the residential construction or roofing industry who is tired of working for someone else and wants to build a legacy.

Key Responsibilities

As the operational lead, your day-to-day will be dynamic and split between the field and strategic management:

  • Sales & Estimating: Perform on-site inspections (including climbing roofs and entering attics) to provide accurate quotes and close sales directly with homeowners.
  • Production Management: Oversee the full project lifecycle from contract signing to final inspection and payment collection.
  • Subcontractor Leadership: Leverage your existing network to recruit, vet, and manage high-quality roofing crews. You will be responsible for scheduling and quality control.
  • Project Management: Ensure jobs are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest safety and quality standards.

Qualifications

We are looking for a "player-coach" who is as comfortable on a pitch gauge as they are in a spreadsheet.

  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years in residential homebuilding or roofing. You must deeply understand roof systems, materials, and local building codes.
  • Network: An established, "ready-to-go" list of reliable residential roofing subcontractors.
  • Technical Skills: Ability to safely navigate roofs and attics for inspections. Proficiency in estimating software (e.g., Xactimate, AccuLynx) is a plus.
  • Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust with homeowners and maintain firm, fair relationships with crews.
  • Entrepreneurial Mindset: A self-starter who thrives in an autonomous environment and is motivated by equity and long-term business growth.
  • Licensing: Candidate must have a residential builder's or maintenance & alteration ("M&A") contractor's license.

Why Join Us?

  • Autonomy: The freedom to run operations your way, backed by a partner focused on supporting your success.
  • Growth Potential: Help shape the culture, brand, and future of a company from the ground up.
  • Equity Ownership Opportunity: Opportunity for a meaningful stake in the company, allowing you to build real wealth as the business scales.

If you have the grit to get on a roof and the vision to lead , we want to talk to you.
