AfterWhy Franchisees Choose Tilehurst Roofing
Starting a roofing business from scratch means figuring out pricing, sourcing, hiring, and customer trust all at once. Joining Tilehurst Roofing means you walk in with a playbook that’s been refined since 2000, a name homeowners recognize, and systems that let you focus on running your business instead of reinventing it. We’re the Kingswell family of roofing companies. Every location is independently owned and operated, and every one of them works to the same standard: roofs done once, and done right.
The Tilehurst Roofing Advantage
Brand Recognition That Opens Doors
Homeowners in your market will already know the Kingswell name and the promise behind it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, the written price before any work starts, the live person who answers every call - these aren’t slogans, they’re proof points that shorten the sales cycle. When a homeowner sees the Tilehurst name, they know what to expect. That trust is hard to build alone and impossible to buy.
Qualified Leads, Not Just Lists
Our lead generation system feeds franchisees homeowners who have already raised their hand. These aren’t cold names from a purchased list. They’re people who called because they saw the guarantee, read the reviews, or heard from a neighbor. You spend less time chasing and more time estimating, which is where the margin lives.
The Operational Playbook
We’ve documented every repeatable process: how to price a repair, how to stage a replacement, how to handle the call when a customer says the skylight still drips. The Kingswell Way isn’t a binder that sits on a shelf. It’s five values that every crew lives by: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Your technicians don’t guess at the standard. They follow it.
Vendor Pricing Power
As a Tilehurst Roofing franchisee, you tap into purchasing relationships across seven leading manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means better shingle pricing, priority on specialty orders, and the flexibility to match the right product to the home instead of selling whatever’s stacked in your garage. You get trade terms that typically take a solo operator years to earn.
Technology That Keeps You Organized
Our platform handles scheduling, job costing, customer follow-up, and guarantee tracking. You know which jobs are profitable, which customers need a callback, and which repairs are still inside the 365-Day Done Right Promise. The system is built for roofing, not adapted from some generic CRM. That matters when you’re managing five crews and trying to sleep at night.
Ongoing Coaching From People Who’ve Done the Work
Your support team includes owners who have run their own roofs, hired their own techs, and handled their own callback. They’ll push back when your close rate drops and celebrate when you nail a $40,000 replacement. This isn’t corporate theory. It’s someone on the phone who remembers what it’s like to worry about payroll on a Friday.
Independent vs. Franchised
Going independent means every decision is yours, and every mistake is too. You build the brand, negotiate supplier terms, write the scripts, and hope your crew shows up looking like professionals. Some owners thrive in that chaos. Most find they’re spending Sundays figuring out software instead of estimating jobs.
With Tilehurst Roofing, you keep the independence that matters. You own your location. You hire your people. You set your growth pace. What you don’t do is start from zero. The Kingswell Guarantee, the written pricing system, the 24/7 live answer protocol, the background-check and uniform standard - these are already built. You plug into a network where the hard lessons have been learned and the best practices are shared, not hoarded.
The trade-off is straightforward: you follow The Kingswell Way because it works, and in return you get a brand that homeowners trust, pricing that competes with the nationals, and a support system that answers the phone when you’re stuck. You’re not buying a job. You’re buying a head start with guardrails.
