Skip the retail markup
Hire the crew directly. Keep the markup in your project.
Many retail contractors sell the job, then subcontract the actual work to independent crews and add their margin on top. Industry publications put residential roofing gross margins at roughly 30–40%. On a $20,000 roof, that can mean $6,000–$8,000 above the cost of the work.
RPS Trades connects you with the same kind of independent crews whose insurance has been reviewed, at network pricing, so more of your budget goes into the work itself, or into upgrades that better protect your home.
2. Be your own project manager
We show you how: a written scope, permits, material delivery, inspections at each stage, and lien waivers with every payment.
3. Or get help along the way
Prefer support? Optional project management and à la carte services such as checkpoint photos, delivery checks, final inspection and warranty registration, with flat fees disclosed up front.
Margin figures are industry averages and vary by company and project. Acting as your own project manager means you’re responsible for permits, scheduling and payments; our guidance is general information, not legal advice. If insurance is paying for the work, how any difference is handled depends on your policy, and Texas law requires you to pay your deductible.
