The vendor opportunity at JBL Roofing & Construction
JBL Roofing & Construction operates a tiny network of 7 total units, split between 4 franchised locations and 3 company-owned outlets. The brand is headquartered in Ohio and falls within the home services segment. For software vendors, the immediate addressable market is limited to those 4 franchised locations, though the corporate entity itself represents an additional target. The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document does not report an Average Unit Volume (AUV), making it difficult to gauge per-location revenue potential. The royalty rate is set at 23.0%, and the initial franchise term runs for 10 years. Year-over-year unit growth was not disclosed.
Who controls software purchasing
According to Item 1 of the 2025 FDD, the key executives are William A. Lewis, Jr., listed as Manager, and David Johnson, who serves as Chief Operating Officer of JBLRC Inc. In a system this small, these individuals are the most likely decision-makers for any corporate-level software mandates or approvals. There are no multi-unit operators mapped in our corpus, which means every franchised location likely deals directly with the corporate office on technology decisions. This centralized structure simplifies the sales process: you only need to reach the HQ team to influence the entire system.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD explicitly mandates two technology categories. First, franchisees must use a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, though the specific vendor for the CRM is not named in the available extracts. Second, the system mandates QuickBooks by Intuit Inc., specifically calling out QuickBooks Online Accounting Software. This means Intuit already has a foothold in the system. Any vendor selling complementary or competitive financial, operational, or CRM tools will need to displace or integrate with these mandated solutions.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD, which typically outlines procurement restrictions and designated suppliers, did not yield an extract in our data. Therefore, the specific procurement model—whether it uses designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or an open market—is not disclosed in the most recent FDD. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides a clear window. Franchisees can enter into one Successor Franchise Agreement for a new 10-year term. They must notify the franchisor no more than nine months and no less than six months before expiration, remain in compliance with the Franchise Agreement and Brand Standards, and satisfy all monetary obligations. With only 4 franchised units, renewal-driven software evaluation windows will be rare and highly specific to each location's original signing date.
How to read the JBL Roofing & Construction FDD
The full 2025 FDD is embedded below. This document is filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and operational blueprint for the franchise system. For software vendors, the most critical sections are Item 11 (Franchisor's Obligations), which lists mandated technology, and Item 8 (Restrictions on Sources of Products and Services), which defines the procurement model. Item 1 names the executives who control the buying process. Review these sections to validate the tech stack and identify the exact decision-maker before outreach. For a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your ideal customer profile, FranCloud can help you prioritize your pipeline.
Questions vendors ask
JBL Roofing & Construction, answered from the filing
