Executive Summary

Dalton already voted for McDonough Roofing. This proposal turns that trust into a category you own: premium, predictable roofing that's worth waiting for. We will design scarcity, signal your standards publicly, and monetize what the market already values from you—certainty and craftsmanship.

Outcome: More margin per job, a calmer schedule, crews home earlier, and a documented "McDonough Method" that makes the business more valuable every quarter. No website. No extra leads. Pure operating leverage.
