Help Me Write the First Book on Selling Roofing Businesses
Most owners sell only once. Make it a strategic exit. This book project led by Claudio Vilas aims to change outcomes by sharing real world stories of deals gone right and wrong so roofing and construction owners can protect their legacy and avoid costly mistakes.
For roofing & construction business.
Let’s Build This Together

The Myth vs. The Reality
Many believe private equity is showering money on roofing businesses. The truth is more complex:
McKinsey says: Most mergers fail to deliver expected results.
KPMG says: Only 17% of deals create value; more than half destroy it.
The Exit Imbalance: Buyers buy for a living. Sellers sell only once. That gap often leads to expensive mistakes.
I’m writing this book because I’ve seen too many owners stumble at the finish line after a lifetime of work. My goal is simple: help both buyers and sellers beat the odds.
