Does Bumble Roofing provide for placement of local advertising on behalf of the franchisee?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company does not provide for placement of local advertising on behalf of its franchisees. The FDD states explicitly that franchisees are responsible for their own local advertising placement. However, Bumble Roofing will designate the allocation and direct how the franchisee should spend their initial marketing spend.

Bumble Roofing requires franchisees to adhere to specific standards and specifications for their advertising investments. Franchisees must submit monthly or annual reports reflecting their advertising expenditures. All advertising materials, including those developed by the franchisee, must be approved by Bumble Roofing before use. The company commits to responding to approval requests within 14 business days; failure to do so results in the materials being deemed disapproved.

For a Bumble Roofing franchisee, this means they have control over their local advertising strategies but must ensure compliance with the franchisor's guidelines and secure necessary approvals. The initial marketing spend is directed by Bumble Roofing, but ongoing advertising efforts are the franchisee's responsibility, subject to the franchisor's oversight. This balance allows for local customization while maintaining brand consistency.
