What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase a vehicle graphics package from Bumble Roofing or its affiliates. The FDD states that the estimated cost for the required graphics package is $5,000. This figure is included in the total required equipment cost, which ranges from $46,423 to $79,434, encompassing the vehicle, graphics, tools, and equipment.
The FDD outlines that the approved vehicles are currently Ford Maverick, Ford Ranger, or Ford F150. The total equipment cost includes a range of $30,000 to $50,000 for the Ford truck, $5,000 for the graphics package, and up to $7,000 for various tools and equipment.

Prospective franchisees should note that Bumble Roofing may designate itself or its affiliates as the sole suppliers for vehicle wraps and graphics, as well as other services, equipment, or tools developed in the future. This requirement ensures brand consistency but may limit the franchisee's options and potentially impact costs. Franchisees should confirm with Bumble Roofing whether the $5,000 estimate for the graphics package is a fixed cost or if it is subject to change based on the specific vehicle and design chosen.
