- Call volume, which spikes after weather.
- Average repair value, which is small relative to travel.

Where this one goes wrong
Treating repairs as a distraction from replacement work. Repairs fill short weather windows, they maintain customer relationships, and they are frequently where a replacement lead originates.
Questions
About this calculator
Is roofing repair work profitable?
It can be, if priced for the travel and the setup rather than as a small version of a replacement. A minimum charge is what makes short visits viable.
Should repairs be used to find replacements?
Honestly, yes. A repair visit is the right moment to assess the roof's remaining life and to say so, with the customer deciding rather than being sold to.
How do repairs fit the schedule?
Into the days too short or too uncertain for a replacement. That is their real scheduling value beyond the revenue.
The formula
revenue = jobs x average value; gross profit = revenue x margin

How sensitive the answer is
Holding everything else steady and changing only average value, this is what happens to repair revenue per month. It is worth knowing which of your inputs the answer actually hinges on, and which barely move it.
| Average value ($) | Repair revenue per month |
|---|---|
| $4,900 | $137,200 |
| $7,350 | $205,800 |
| $9,800 example above | $274,400 |
| $14,700 | $411,600 |
| $19,600 | $548,800 |
Every other input is held at the example value while this one changes, which is not how a real job behaves. Treat it as a guide to which number matters most, not as five separate quotes.

What this cannot see
Material quantities assume a clean rectangular plane and the waste factor you enter. Valleys, hips, dormers, penetrations and a steep pitch all raise real waste, and a tear-off frequently uncovers decking that was not in the quote.
