How to manage roofing crews efficiently

Run a reliable daily plan

Efficient crew management is a mix of scheduling, job readiness, and communication. A simple system that everyone follows is usually better than an inconsistent complex one.

Practical steps

• Plan the week, confirm the next day, and review at end of day
• Use job readiness checklists (materials, access, permits, contacts)
• Standardize handoffs between sales, production, and crews
• Track photos, notes, and change orders in one place
• Build a simple feedback loop for quality and safety

Where software helps

• Shared schedules with reminders and assignment history
• Centralized job notes and attachments
• Repeatable templates for scopes, checklists, and customer updates
