What upgrades are required for a Bumble Roofing franchisee's computer system and vehicle to extend their rights?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to extend the rights to operate the roofing business for an additional term, a franchisee must upgrade their computer system and vehicle to Bumble Roofing's then-current standards. This is a condition that must be met for Bumble Roofing to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the franchisee has met all the requirements for extending their rights.

Specifically, the franchisee needs to ensure that both the computer system and the vehicle used in the operations of the business are upgraded to meet the standards that Bumble Roofing has in place at the time of renewal. The FDD does not provide specifics on what these standards might entail, but it is likely that the franchisor will communicate these standards to the franchisee as the renewal period approaches.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that these upgrades are a condition for extending the franchise agreement. Failing to meet these standards could result in the franchisee not being able to renew their agreement. Franchisees should inquire about the typical costs and scope of these upgrades to factor them into their long-term financial planning. Franchisees should also ask Bumble Roofing for more details on what the 'then-current standards' might include for both the computer system and the vehicle.
