Do you ever feel like your roofing business is running you? Between managing crews, tracking jobs, and staying on top of paperwork, it can be hard to find time to breathe—let alone grow your company. The good news? You’re not alone.
In this blog, you’ll read about real roofing contractors who found ways to reduce stress, save time, and run a more efficient business by making a few key changes. For each of them, using AccuLynx played a big role in creating a healthier work-life balance. Their stories show what’s possible when the right tools are in place—and how you can take back control of your day, one job at a time.
From 70-hour work weeks to real time savings
The longer a roofing job takes, the more it costs—in time, money, and team morale. When project details are scattered across tools, texts, and spreadsheets, delays pile up. Scheduling gets messy, updates slip through the cracks, and your team ends up working longer hours just to keep things moving.
That was the reality for Hail or High Water Roofing and Restoration in Georgia. As their business grew, their old systems couldn’t keep up. Jobs were harder to coordinate, and their crews were spending too much time chasing down details instead of moving work forward.
Switching to AccuLynx gave them real-time visibility into every job. With smarter scheduling, clear task ownership, and streamlined tracking, nothing slipped through the cracks. The result was shorter days, smoother jobs, and 40% revenue growth year over year.
“Before AccuLynx, we were working 70+ hours per week,” said Steve Sims, Owner of Hail or High Water. “Now we’re saving 12–16 hours on every job.”
While Hail or High Water struggled with job coordination and long hours, another roofing business faced a different kind of time drain—one hiding in spreadsheets and supplier portals. For Yellowhammer Roofing, the bottleneck wasn’t scheduling—it was material ordering.
Eliminating material ordering headaches
If you’ve spent hours checking supplier websites, updating spreadsheets, or calling branches for the latest prices, you’re not alone. Material ordering is one of the most time-consuming parts of roofing—especially with constantly changing prices and availability. Without a faster system, your team can get bogged down in admin work that slows jobs.
That’s exactly what was happening at Yellowhammer Roofing in Alabama. Their staff was manually pulling pricing from supplier sites every week. But, the numbers were changing so quickly that it was hard to keep estimates accurate. It not only wasted time, it led to mistakes and delays.
To solve this, Yellowhammer leveraged AccuLynx’s real-time supplier integration with QXO. With up-to-date pricing and availability built right into the platform, their team could build estimates, place orders, and track deliveries—without ever leaving the system.
“We save about 3.5 hours each week by using the QXO integration,” said Chrissy Boyd, Yellowhammer Roofing’s Training and Process Coordinator.
These are just two examples of how the right roofing software can help contractors work more efficiently and reclaim their time. The challenges may vary, but the goal is the same: a smoother, more balanced way to run your business.
