With the economy on a wary rebound, Jack Durden is rather more bullish this year. The owner of Dallas Roofing Direct, a bunch of roofers in Frisco, he's inspired by the green shoots he is seeing in his industry.”Last year was tough, no doubt about that,” he says. “In fact, I'd say that things truly started going down half way thru 2008. Then when the economy hit the all-time low after the subprime mortgage mess exploded, we were incredibly impacted together with the entire construction industry.”

Dallas Roofing Direct weathered the storm thru a combination of smart cost cutting, assertive pricing, and all around belt tightening.”When times get tough, it compels you to truly take a tough look at how you do business,” says Jack. “We had to find creative methods of getting more done with less.”

One of the ways in which the company saved cash was by applying smart concepts to their fleet of trucks. After the roofing company made some positions momentarily redundant and started buying materials in bigger lots to save money, they were still in the red. “So we decided to get a way to chop our fleet costs,” the owner claims. “And we noticed that if we planned our days right, we could pack more trips into less miles.

So in the final analysis, we had fewer trucks on the road, using less fuel, and getting the crews and materials to the job site.” Saving cash and carbon emissions in the midst. “That’s what we call smart transportation.”

The Dallas, TX roofing company is starting to receive more orders. “We’ve seen a steady uptick in home orders. Even some huge commercial projects,” asserts Jack. “So yes, I'd say we're expecting some growth this year, absolutely.” He adds that he hopes to bring back some team members that he was compelled to idle. “We are content to provide roofing jobs to a couple of the best men in the industry,” asserts Jack. The North Texas roofing company employs a crew of roofers that cover the Dallas, Fort Worth metro region.
