Marketing your Conklin Roofing business


Social Media Marketing for Conklin Contractors

By Randy Patton


I have been marketing on social media for years now, with great success!
It has really kicked in the past few years, after the launch (2008) of my website that my Team of contractors and I put together, along with a blog site that we started in (2010). Having these things in place for marketing on social media has been the biggest key to my success. With all this in place, I started by sharing value to my followers on social media, NOT spamming them with junk. By sharing roofing and roof coating info from my blog site and driving traffic to the website the search engines (SEO) has kicked in to help get the website found when customers or prospects are searching the internet for info.


I have learned a lot over the years and ready to help others!

The summer of 2013 I saw a need from talking with a couple Conklin contractors to open up my website to help other Conklin IBOs (contractors) that didn't have a website, or know how to build one. After seeing what some of you were or weren't doing correctly or at all on social media to market, I decided to offer the website to other Conklin contractors to have access to and to be listed on the website to get roofing leads.
In the past couple years I have been getting roof leads from all across the U S, this is what helped me to decide to see about letting other Conklin contractors join the website also.

So I put together an idea and put it into action last fall (2013)! I had 2 Conklin IBOs see the opportunity that joined right away and have seen great results from the website! (watch the video below to read their results) Along with their learning how to market on social media the proper way.

I will be limiting the number of contractors in an area, so DON'T wait to join!
First come first in.

What you get.....
  • You get a page called a landing page on the website for customers to find you
  • Listed on the "Find a Contractor" page
  • A ready made website that you can promote as your own to building owners
  • Blog sites to use for sharing value on social media
  • A personal blog story on the website (if you write it)
  • Roof job story on blog in website (you provide the pictures and info)
  • My coaching and mentoring  (see below)
I am also offering those who join the site, coaching and mentoring on how to market on social media to get the best results! For your first 6 months! After that you should know what you need to be doing.

I will give you direction and help with the how to of marketing on social media. You will get my experience and knowledge on what you need to do. NOW it is up to YOU to do the posting!
I have helped a couple so far that joined last fall and stepped up their marketing on social media to see some great results. They both have gotten roof leads.
 

Watch this video for more info and read some of the results that have happened.......

Your results will depend on how active you are on social media!

I have just recently started making videos like this one to use for marketing your roofing business. I will be releasing some new videos soon for you to look at.

How to install a Conklin foam & coatings system on a flat roof




Watch as an existing smooth built-up roof in Bloomington, Illinois is covered with sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam (SPF) and coated with Conklin's Benchmark base coat and white reflective top coating.

This job was completed by Conklin Roofing Systems Master Contractor Ted Williams of Williams Roofing & Construction in Springfield, Illinois. A jobsite interview with the building owner's representative reveals that he chose this particular system due to the energy savings and lack of need to tear-off the existing roof system. Narrated by Randy Patton of Patton Services (White Roofing Systems).
Please watch below to learn more about adding energy efficient, faster-to-install, higher profit Conklin cool roof coatings, restoration and ply systems to your roofing company's service offerings:

More profitable and faster to install re-roofing alternative. Contractors needed!




Thank you for your interest in Conklin - America's #1 acrylic roof coating company by volume. Conklin manufactures high quality, Energy Star rated metal roof renovation, single-ply, fabric reinforced, polyurethane foam, and EPDM roof coating systems that meet or exceed fire ratings and code standards.

Not only are these roofing systems durable, energy efficient and long-lasting, but they are also faster and more profitable to install, and provide a lower cost alternative roofing solution for you to bid along with the systems you already install.

Conklin revolutionized the commercial roofing industry when they introduced white acrylic fabric-reinforced coating systems more than 30 years ago. Their fabric-reinforced ply roofing system combines the leak-resistant seamless membrane of a liquid-applied system with the toughness and a tensile strength of a single-ply system. The reinforced fabric gives extra strength to the finished watertight coating membrane without adding significant weight. With its reflective, energy-saving white top coat, a finished ply system stands up against tough weather and offers strong, long-lasting protection.

Conklin’s metal roof restoration coating system was specifically designed to prevent leaks where they most often occur - at the seams and screws. In addition to outstanding protection against water penetration, the metal restoration system extends the life of the roof by resisting weather extremes and reduces air conditioning costs by reflecting the sun’s harmful rays, and its light weight also preserves the useful life of the building.

Conklin's spray polyurethane roofing systems have been engineered to provide a superior, energy-efficient, long-lasting roof for any building. Foam roofing offers excellent insulation value and a smooth, durable, seam-free barrier against the elements when coated with Conklin coating systems. Foam is so lightweight (about eight ounces per square foot) it can be applied over most existing roof systems without exceeding the structural load capacity. Yet it’s amazingly strong, easily withstanding light foot traffic and other weight requirements. Conklin’s foam roofing systems have met the most stringent requirements for a variety of industry groups such as Factory Mutual and Underwriters Laboratories, and are recognized by the International Conference of Building Officials.

You can extend the life of an existing EPDM or modified bitumen roof and save your customers on their energy costs at the same time with Conklin's innovative roof recoating systems. This is an extremely effective and economical alternative to tear-off and re-roofing. Adding a white, energy efficient, lightweight coating on top of a black roof avoids the expensive removal and disposal of the existing roof and the tremendous workplace disruption it causes.

Your customers can potentially save enough in cooling costs to pay for a recoat within just 7 years, as Conklin's Energy-Star rated white top coats reflect up to 85% of the sun's heat rays, cooling the roof and building and enabling up to a 30% reduction in air conditioning. They may also qualify for federal tax credits and/or rebates.

Conklin’s Flexion single-ply roof system provides a tough, yet extremely flexible 50-mil barrier from the elements. Their advanced, naturally fire-resistant PVC formulation provides long-term superior strength, stability, and flexibility, requires minimal maintenance and has a favorable life cycle cost.

Conklin's Hy-Crown® single-ply roof system is extra-tough because it is manufactured with Hypalon® - a synthetic rubber made by DuPont. Hypalon is one of the most durable materials in the single-ply roofing market and has a track record of more than 30 years.

You can improve the performance and further extend the service life of a new, existing or aged TPO, PVC and CSPE single-ply roof with Conklin’s specialty formulated acrylic roof coatings. As single-ply membranes become weathered over time they can crack, leak, and pick up dirt, diminishing their effectiveness and energy-saving properties. Conklin’s elastomeric coatings provide a new, cost-effective solution for repairing, preserving and improving the energy savings of approved single-ply membranes.

Conklin provide hands-on training and assist you with proper equipment and tool acquisition before you install your first job. They also offer a variety of year-round regional and national training and support.

Interested in installing metal roof coating restoration systems?




The metal restoration system's unique combination of liquid-applied base coat, flexible polyester fabric and white reflective elastomeric top coat provides a durable waterproofing system that prevents leaks from ruining more than just your customers' roofs.

By using Conklin Energy Star labeled products on a metal roof, you will lower surface temperatures by up to 15 degrees and reduce the amount of heat transferred into the building, thus reducing a customer's cooling costs.

Install Conklin foam and coatings on flat roofs




Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing systems are growing in demand due to their "green" energy-saving properties. The coatings which are sprayed over the spray-in-place foam insulation system are VOC compliant, durable, energy efficient, economical, and weatherproof to protect a new or existing building for years to come.

SPF chemically bonds itself to the existing roof surface, so no tear-off is required (saving you money, time and the environment). SPF is extremely light, adding very little weight load to the building. It provides a seamless, water-tight design that withstands the toughest weather conditions and harshest temperature extremes. Foam and coating systems can be applied over built-up, single-ply, modified bitumen, metal, and other roof systems.

Before the foam can be applied, the roof must be cleared of dirt and debris, and all wet, moist or damaged and ponding water areas are repaired. Then the foam is sprayed on the roof to the specified thickness before the base coat is applied. Finally, the white reflective top coat is applied.

If a color other than white is desired, a show-coat can be applied as well. A variety of warranty options are available (up to 10 years) as well.

Roofing contractors - capitalize on the increasing demand for roof coatings


The demand for cool roofing (including roof coatings) is at an all-time high. Driven by national initiatives such as the Energy Star program from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various local efforts such as the California Energy Commission's Title 24 program, organizations are demanding that roofs do more than simply keep out water - they want rooftops to stay cool to reduce energy consumption. Government initiatives, tax incentives, and state and utility rebates are supporting this effort.

For years, building and facilities managers have specified white elastomeric roof coatings like those made by Conklin to protect roofs. White roofing solutions have grown exponentially in popularity over the last decade, with growth driven by the energy benefit that higher degrees of reflectivity can provide in specific environments, as well as the lower cost, faster installation schedule and high profitability benefits for the contractors trained to install them.

Studies by Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Lawrence Berkley National Laboratories have validated that in regions of high ambient temperatures with high solar irradiance, highly reflective coatings provide significant energy savings as a result of their cooling effect. These savings occur mostly during peak temperature conditions and when utilities charge peak fees.

In many regions of the country, using a reflective surface in the form of a roof coating can reduce the energy cost for a specific facility. But managers need to understand that many factors in addition to rooftop reflectance go in to a building's energy efficiency. Managers also must be careful when selecting a product - in regions without high temperatures and high solar irradiance, a coating's reflectivity might not even be a benefit, though its overall performance in protecting the roof from weather is always a benefit. 

It is quite simple to evaluate the potential savings of a reflective coating. Numerous online calculators describe the potential energy savings of a reflective roof. The most popular calculator for roof energy savings is the U.S. Department of Energy's Roof Savings Calculator. This tool allows managers to compare the current roof with the benefits of a coated roof by plugging in building information, along with the reflectivity and emissivity factors of the proposed coatings.
