532: How to Add a Second Revenue Stream to Your Roofing Business - Joel Stark | Go Nano
Sep 28, 202653 min
Most roofing companies have one way to make money: replace the roof. Joel Stark built a second one, and it took Go Nano from 14 contractors to 517. Grab the free Scaling Playbook: https://ownersos.com/scaling-playbook?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=ownersos&utm_content=how-to-add-a-second-revenue-stream-to-your-roofing-business On the D2D Podcast, James Edwards sits down with Joel Stark, COO of Go Nano, the roof rejuvenation company. Joel explains how a treatment that restores flexibility to aging shingles gives roofing contractors a second vertical, one that turns the homeowners who aren't ready to replace into paying customers instead of dead leads. He also breaks down the leadership that made the growth possible: why he stopped doing all the work himself, why he hires people stronger than he is, and why he considers himself in the people business no matter what industry he's standing in. Joel Stark came up through construction, served in the Army, spent 18 years in hospitality operations, and moved into roofing in upstate New York before joining Go Nano roughly five years ago, growing its contractor network from 14 to 517. Questions this episode answers: What is roof rejuvenation and how does it work? Does roof rejuvenation actually extend the life of a roof? How can a roofing contractor add a second revenue stream? How do you scale a contractor network? How do you know when to stop doing the work yourself? What you'll learn in this episode: How roof rejuvenation works and why it makes aging shingles flexible again Why it turns "not ready to replace" homeowners into revenue instead of lost leads The four-win model: the homeowner, the environment, the contractor, and Go Nano The Law of the Lid, and why your own ceiling becomes the company's ceiling Why Joel hires people stronger than himself and delegates by what he's good at and enjoys Why he says he's in the people business, whether that's the Army, hospitality, or roofing Here's the thing: your company stops growing exactly where you stop growing. If you want the systems and structure to scale past yourself, Owner's OS is built for it: https://ownersos.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=ownersos&utm_content=how-to-add-a-second-revenue-stream-to-your-roofing-business Learn more about Go Nano: https://gonano.com Thank you for listening!

Sep 7, 202635 min

He breaks down the moves that actually move the needle: setting up an LLC and electing S-corp status to cut self-employment tax, stacking from up to 1,400 available deductions, using the Augusta rule to rent your home to your business tax-free, and writing off the interest on a made-in-USA vehicle. He also tells the raw story of raising 1.5 million, losing all of it, and clawing his way back through relationships. Sean Finnegan is the founder of Tax Hive, a partner of Kevin O'Leary, and the creator of the X Room networking community. He sat down with D2D Experts' James Edwards to unpack tax strategy for the door-to-door world.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
