I am a little skeptical that on a roofs the commissions are 30%+. The profit on the roof might be 30%+. I could be wrong though.
He did make like 500k on a water jug delivery route?

Texas is one of the highest paying markets for roofing.
This roof is 82sq which is based on a 22% waste factor on the 68sq that's being replaced.
I make 40% after cost of material and labor. This roof will only cost about $18-20k to build total.... y'all can do the math lol. And I've literally spent less than 3hrs on the deal.
The price at the top of the pic is the insurance company's approved replacement value.
This was from 1 small 30sq roof...

Lmao not even.
Best year slinging water was less than 100. There were 2 routes in the city that made $120-130k though.

I like quick sales and working on the go, desk jobs aren't for me lol.

Evidently I can’t do the math. 41000(top number)-20000(material cost) * .4= 8400(your commission). So 8400/51000=16.4%. Your previous story was 400k/1300k=30.7%. So the “math” doesn’t add up, but hey it is your story....

Never said 40* of the claim. Also these more profit in smaller builds.
It's 40% off the net following cost of build. Theres alot of variables that factor into a build cost. I've made basically $10k off a $30k roof that only cost $9k to build before. Major factor is price per square on the roof.
The quick math on the $1.3m was a bit high yes.
Factor majority of the jobs are about 30% cost to build is roughly $390k in materials and labor.
The remaining $910k is commissionable. Which comes in around $365k.
Variables can change on costs, but the money in roofing is insane in Texas. Hell there's guys out here that will sell out of their hopped up sports cars, Range Rovers, and of course brand new alumidutys on their "forces"
My main owner has already asked me what type of truck I'd like him to buy me as a thank you basically. Told him I maybe interested in one of the diesel Titans, he laughed and said "Nissan?, it's yours to keep so make sure you'll enjoy it and do with it as you please".
It's important to note, these sales results aren't typical...
For an avg Joe selling roofs doing 3 a month you should be able to make around $100k yr. In the month of November alone I sold 27 roofs, not including anything from December or the remodeling jobs sold aswell(those are capped at $10k per job).
I phucking love sales!
No beautiful!
Go reread Mr. Turbo hobbyists post repeatedly trying bring up roofing. It was ignored originally, yet hilariously took the man childs bully bait.LOL

This maybe found to be useful to the OP..

Goes to show Ryan who is one of the most aggressive tuners on the market is maxing the nearly maxing out the 464 on stock fueling. It'd be a fun daily driver for a entry build thatd pretty reliable.

Against my better judgement I'm going to correct some misinformation that was posted earlier in this thread.
1. A radial compressor creates low pressure on the trailing side of the leading edge of the blade creating suction, therefore greater surface area at the leading edge will produce higher flow rates at slower rotor speeds. A radial compressor with more blades will produce a higher flow rate than a compressor with less blades at the same rotational speed, up to a point.
2. There is always a give and take in compressor design, increasing flow at lower rotor speeds will reduce the speed at which both surge and choke occurs, and vice versa. This is why you see higher numerical single blade wheels used in lower speed applications and lower numerical splitter blade wheels used in higher speed applications. There are ways to augment this in regards to trim value and diffuser design, however this is often application specific.
3. The compressor leading edge is essentially an airfoil such as an aircraft wing. So if anyone was attempting to use a commonly understood analogy look no further than the difference in wingspan between low and high speed air craft. At low speeds a larger surface area wing is used to increase the amount of area of low pressure above the chord line, this is also why fixed wing air craft designed for higher speeds have poor maneuverability at low speed. This is not my opinion, or idea, it is a principle rule of physics and applies directly to turbo machinery in every accepted text regarding the topic.
In short there is no one size fits all answer, there are many variables involved with determining the best configuration for each particular scenario, and overall blade count is just a single factor.

Here's the house for the roof above to give size reference.
Everyone in this gated neighborhood knows who I am when they see the truck, especially with how out of place it is.

CHDiesel,
I am running a S468 from Weston (Infinite Performance) now and have been for almost a year now on my 14 6.7. I have stock fuel with the exception of an air dog lift pump. I gross 30k plus often pulling equipment and hay around for the farm. This Infinite Performance S468 has proven to have a very smooth and consistent power band compared to the S465 I was running for two years prior. It maintains boost better at various throttle positions compared to the S465.
I run the G56 but the 468 has been a pleasure to tow with. I rarely see EGT's over 1200 deg F unless I am burying the pedal out to 120mph and it takes a while for temps to get over 1300 degF. The wastegate would not be a bad idea if you are looking to be in the 800hp range to keep the turbo in best efficiency range.
I laid down 598 rwhp with the S465 and temps were getting pretty hot and a light steady haze up top around 3,200 rpm. I am confident I am well north of 600 with the Infinite Performance S468. I will be upgrading fuel and valve train this year and I have no concerns with this S468 being able to take it. This S468 cleans up all smoke once it hits with 56 psig of boost and I have no haze at all anymore at 3,000+ rpms wot.
Just wanted to give you some feedback from my experience towing and whatnot with a S465 vs a S468. I would give the S468 from Infinite a try. Very good turbo for towing and some fun with a 6.7.

Wowww almost 60psi out of an s400 with 13+ stock fuel....kewlllll brooo lol

I know man. Scared the crap out of me when I saw the gauge go above 50 psig at first, lol. I was only seeing 45-46psig with the S465 . I was very hesitant to step on it all the way for the first few weeks until I realized everything would be just fine at 56psig. Like I said, this turbo impresses me every time I drive the truck.

That job finished and the total paid by insurance was....
Our cost was just under $21k.
So my take on the gross profit was $11,364.
