What employee positions are included in the Wages and Benefits calculation for a Bumble Roofing franchise?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Wages and Benefits calculation includes the salaries of four specific employee positions that directly work on roofing services. These positions are two sales professionals, one production manager, and one office administrator. The sales professionals are responsible for providing customer proposals and managing active roofing projects. The production manager handles scheduling jobs, ordering materials, and coordinating subcontractor crews. The office administrator provides administrative support.

The FDD specifies that the Wages and Benefits calculation excludes any compensation paid to the owner or a general manager. This means that a franchisee's salary or any compensation for a general manager they might hire is not factored into the disclosed Wages and Benefits expense. The inclusion of these four specific roles in the calculation provides a clearer picture of the labor costs associated with running a Bumble Roofing franchise.

Furthermore, the Wages and Benefits figure incorporates a 15% factor to account for payroll taxes and employee benefit costs. This 15% is consistent with the actual benefit costs at the affiliate-owned locations for all its employees. This inclusion of payroll taxes and benefits provides a more comprehensive view of the true cost of labor, beyond just the base salaries of the employees. A prospective franchisee can use this information to better understand and plan for their labor expenses when operating a Bumble Roofing franchise.
