Jobsite protection can help roofing contractors improve cleanup, strengthen their neighborhood presence and create a more professional customer experience. 

A roofing project can showcase craftsmanship, but the experience homeowners have on the ground matters just as much. On this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, host Karen Edwards spoke with The Catch-All’s Chase DeLong and Marianna Conner, along with Acorn Roofing and Construction's Jack Waddell, about how jobsite protection can help contractors stand out while simplifying cleanup. 

Acorn Roofing and Construction uses The Catch-All’s large jobsite kit on its projects. Before adopting the system, Jack explained that crews relied on traditional tarps to protect landscaping and surrounding property. Describing the difference, he said, “The Catch-All does a great job of deflecting any debris coming off the roof, protecting windows, window screens and the flower beds. It's really great and it looks extremely professional and shows to everyone that you care.” 

That professional appearance can also turn an active jobsite into a marketing opportunity. Marianna explained that contractors can integrate their branding directly into the protection system, saying, “We've got the logo banners, which are able to be mounted directly on the Job Site Protection Kit. And that does your custom branding right on there.” Contractors can also include phone numbers, calls to action, Google review information, core values or QR codes that connect homeowners with online resources. 

For Chase, that neighborhood visibility is closely tied to building trust. He emphasized the value of referrals compared with leads that begin without an existing connection, explaining that referrals can compound over time and help contractors build their pipelines for the long term. He noted, “Those referrals compound, they go a lot further than your average leads and build that trust, just continue to build that trust.” 

The system can also support crews once they become familiar with the setup. Jack noted that what initially feels like an additional task can quickly become part of an easier cleanup process. Crews can use the durable drop tarps to collect and move debris, turning the system into another jobsite tool rather than an added chore. 

Beyond protection and cleanup, that extra care can shape how homeowners view a contractor. Jack said customers are more likely to trust someone who goes above and beyond for them or their neighbors, reinforcing how jobsite practices can influence the overall customer experience.

The Catch-All combines Ground, Landscape and Chute Nets to help roofing crews protect property and manage debris more efficiently. 

Protecting landscaping and controlling debris are important parts of any roofing project, but traditional tarps can create their own challenges. The Catch-All offers a jobsite protection system designed to keep debris contained while reducing the risk of damage to grass, shrubs and other landscaping. 

How can roofing contractors better protect landscaping during a roof replacement? 

Rather than laying tarps directly over the property, The Catch-All uses Ground and Landscape Nets suspended from specially designed poles with padded tops that lean against the building. The setup creates a collection area around the home while avoiding some common problems associated with tarps, including tearing, blowing away and burning vegetation. 

What makes The Catch-All different from traditional roofing tarps? 

The system is also designed with jobsite efficiency in mind. According to The Catch-All, two to three workers can typically set up a bundle in less than 20 minutes, although timing can vary based on the home and surrounding landscaping. Once most of the shingle load has been moved to the trailer, the same size crew can generally clean up the system in 30 minutes or less. 

How do Ground Nets and Chute Nets help manage roofing debris? 

Different net components handle different debris. Chute Nets are intended to capture smaller materials such as nails and pieces of underlayment, while Ground Nets can support heavier loads from many squares of shingles. 

How durable is The Catch-All jobsite protection system? 

Durability has also been part of the system’s development. The Catch-All reports that crews used its original prototype Landscape Protection Kit five days a week for well over a year with only light wear, and improvements have been made since that prototype. 

Can contractors customize The Catch-All with their company branding? 

Contractors can also add a company logo to a Landscape Protection Kit. Protection Kits typically ship seven to 10 business days after banner approval, while other orders generally ship within one to three business days. The Catch-All does not offer a warranty because of the demanding nature of roofing work, but customers can contact the company about suspected manufacturing defects.

Protect jobsites, speed up the cleaning process and move through projects with fewer problems by using The Catch-All! 

The first question many roofing crews have about The Catch-All is often about how long it takes to set up. It’s a valid, but unnecessary concern; the company assures that most crews have it in place and ready to go within just 15 to 45 minutes. After crews have used it a few times, the process becomes another part of the jobsite routine, quick and easy. 

What is the biggest benefit of The Catch-All system? 

The biggest time saver and benefit of the system comes after the setup. When debris is contained before it reaches the ground, cleanup can move faster and crews spend less time searching for missed nails and scattered materials. Because The Catch-All is designed to do all the dirty work, final walkthroughs go smoothly and the kinds of jobsite issues that would usually lead to callbacks are significantly reduced. 

Other than blue tarps, what can roofers use? 

The system is designed to replace the familiar blue tarps many crews rely on for protection and cleanup. While tarps may be standard on many jobsites, The Catch-All positions its system as a more complete part of doing the job right by helping crews protect the property before debris ever reaches the ground. That shift can make the rest of the job run more smoothly, from the tear-off to the final walkthrough. 

How does this help roofing contractors improve profitability? 

That cleaner, more professional jobsite can also help contractors make a stronger impression with homeowners. Beyond protection and cleanup, The Catch-All points to added business value through qualified leads generated by QR codes and banners, as well as better margins supported by supplements and jobsite efficiency. Together, those benefits connect the system’s day-to-day labor savings with broader opportunities to protect time, reputation and the bottom line. 

Is it worth the setup time? 

The result, according to The Catch-All, is that roofers who initially worry about added work often come to see the setup as an investment in a smoother job. Faster cleanup means crews can move on with more energy, while fewer jobsite problems can help contractors keep projects moving with fewer interruptions.

The Catch-All team and Acorn Roofing explain how jobsite protection helps contractors stand out while protecting homeowners’ properties. 

The Coffee Shops™ brought together Marianna Conner and Chase DeLong from The Catch-All, along with Jack Waddell of Acorn Roofing and Construction, for a Roofing Road Trips® conversation about cleaner, more professional roofing projects. The discussion focused on how jobsite protection can support both customer care and contractor growth.  

How does The Catch-All support roofers who want to grow? 

Marianna shared, “We are the roofer's helper, I would say. We're here to help roofers that want to grow their businesses, that want to stand out. Set yourself apart with marketing, set yourself apart with how you're going to take care of the home.” 

That approach, Marianna explained, comes from a team with extensive roofing experience. She shared that she began answering phones at her father’s roofing company at 12 years old and later served on the leadership team for two roofing companies. 

What difference does the large jobsite kit make on a project? 

“We're currently using the large jobsite kit. We install it on every house before we start a tear off. Some days we even go out and we'll set it up the day before. Just having the presence in the neighborhood, all your branding on it and showing that you go above and beyond and really care about the details makes a big difference to those homeowners,” explained Jack.  

Jack said the system gives Acorn Roofing and Construction a more polished presence in the neighborhood while showing homeowners that the company is paying attention before work begins. 

How does jobsite protection improve the customer experience? 

Jack noted, “The Catch-All does a great job of deflecting any debris coming off the roof, protecting windows, window screens and the flower beds. It's really great, and it looks extremely professional and shows to everyone that you care.” 

For contractors, that visible care matters because homeowners may not see every detail on the roof. Jack said the protection system helps make professionalism visible from the street. Cleaner jobsites are more than an operational upgrade. They can communicate preparation, respect for property and a contractor’s commitment to doing the job well.

The Catch-All’s new debris-loading system is designed to help contractors move tear-off waste more safely and efficiently. 

For roofing crews, some of the hardest work on a job does not happen on the roof. It happens on the ground, where crew members are moving debris, managing wheelbarrows and trying to keep the property clean while staying safe and productive.

That everyday challenge helped inspire The Catch-All’s newest product, LoadRunner, a battery-powered debris-loading system designed to lift and dump loaded wheelbarrows into dumpsters, dump trailers and other jobsite containers.  

For The Catch-All co-founder Eric Mackintosh, the product is another step in the company’s ongoing mission to help contractors reduce mess, protect property and make roofing work easier for the crews doing it. Eric noted, “Tearing a roof off, especially in a real-world scenario where a lot of times you can’t get the shingles all the way to the front of the roof and throw them directly into the dumpster or dump trailer. It’s just really hard work. It’s arduous, it’s dirty, it’s dangerous.” 

Eric’s understanding of the problem comes from firsthand experience. Before helping build The Catch-All, he worked in sales and project management for AVCO Roofing, where the team was constantly looking for better ways to reduce left-behind nails and prevent property damage. Over time, they realized one of the best ways to solve the cleanup problem was to stop debris from hitting the ground in the first place, which led to the original netting system. 

The LoadRunner follows that same practical, contractor-focused approach. Instead of requiring crew members to manually lift heavy tear-off debris over the side of a container, the system is being developed to lift the wheelbarrow itself.

Eric shared that the company’s stated goal is a 250-pound load capacity. With usability guiding the design from the start, the team has stayed focused on making the work more efficient for crews. As Eric put it, “The easy, mundane things should be faster, simpler and safer.” 

The product is also being built around real jobsite workflow. Features in development include quick-release levers, modular components, adjustable feet and clamp options that allow crews to adapt the system to different setups. Eric said the LoadRunner is being designed for use with dump trailers, dumpsters and even parapet walls on commercial projects. 

Battery power was another decision shaped by usability in the field. Eric explained that using a battery-powered system can help crews avoid relying on a homeowner’s power source or a gas-powered engine while still giving the unit the energy needed to handle peak loads. “It would have been possible to make the LoadRunner work by plugging it in or a gas-powered engine, like some of the shingle lifts, but those are harder to use on an everyday basis by the crews,” he said. “So that really was our priority, usability.” 

Pre-orders are currently available, and Eric said the company’s goal is to begin shipping in the next few months, possibly in late summer or fall. As interest grows beyond roofing, The Catch-All is also exploring broader applications for industries that move heavy debris and materials. Eric noted, “I’m excited to continually push the envelope and make the job easier for people who work really hard.”

Learn how jobsite debris handling tools help roofing contractors improve efficiency and customer experience. 

For roofing contractors, cleanup is not a final step. It is a defining part of the job, shaping how homeowners perceive the work, how crews perform under pressure and whether a project leads to future referrals. That reality informed the approach of Heath Hicks, co-founder of The Catch-All, whose jobsite protection solutions were developed from firsthand experience in roofing sales and company ownership. In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Heath connected cleanup performance directly to long-term business growth. He shared, “It's about keeping customers happy and getting the next referral to the next job.” 

From that perspective, cleanup is not simply about removing debris. It is about controlling the entire process, from tear-off to disposal, in a way that preserves the property and the customer relationship. That focus led to the development of Load Runner, a debris-handling system designed to address a persistent gap in jobsite workflows. 

Even when contractors manage debris effectively at the roofline, problems often reappear during transport. Material that is contained at the point of tear-off can spill as it is moved across the property or lifted into a trailer, creating additional cleanup and risk. Heath stated, “And so I was like, what if we could lift that trash in there somehow?” 

Load Runner responds to that challenge with a lift-and-dump system built around a specialized wheelbarrow. Crews roll the loaded unit into position, activate the lift and allow the system to raise and empty the contents into a dumpster or trailer. By eliminating repeated manual handling, the process reduces loose debris, minimizes overhead lifting and improves consistency across the jobsite. 

The system is designed to adapt to varied conditions. It is height adjustable and can attach to dumpsters, dump trailers, truck beds or parapet walls. It is powered by two rechargeable drill batteries, allowing crews to integrate it into existing workflows without additional infrastructure. 

In practice, the impact is cumulative. Cleaner properties reduce post-job callbacks, streamlined handling improves labor efficiency and a more controlled process reinforces the professionalism homeowners expect.

A cleaner, more controlled jobsite can drive referrals, reduce risk and strengthen long-term profitability. 

In competitive roofing markets, access to higher-end neighborhoods is rarely secured through price alone. More often, it is earned through visibility when a single project reshapes how a contractor is perceived. That shift does not begin with a pitch or proposal. It begins at the jobsite, where performance is on display from the first tear-off to final cleanup. In referral-driven communities, that visibility carries weight. Homeowners are not just evaluating the finished system; they are observing how the work unfolds.  

A jobsite that remains clean, organized and controlled communicates discipline and professionalism in real time, establishing credibility before any direct interaction takes place. In that environment, presentation becomes more than aesthetics; it becomes a signal of how the contractor operates. That shift in expectations is driving increased adoption of jobsite protection systems such as those offered by The Catch-All. 

While these systems are designed to protect landscaping, exterior features and surrounding property, their impact extends into how the work is perceived. Contained debris, defined work zones and consistent cleanup practices reduce common friction points that often lead to callbacks, while reinforcing a reputation for control and precision. 

At the same time, the jobsite itself is evolving into a marketing asset. Branded banners and QR code signage turn an active project into a point of engagement, giving nearby homeowners a direct path to connect. In neighborhoods where hiring decisions are shaped by proximity and peer influence, that exposure can translate into qualified leads without additional outreach. 

The operational advantages further reinforce that value. Cleaner tear-offs and streamlined cleanup processes allow crews to sustain momentum across jobs, improving consistency while reducing fatigue. With fewer missed nails and less residual debris, contractors can limit post-project issues that erode margins and disrupt workflow. 

As competition intensifies, the condition of an active jobsite is taking on a more strategic role. It is no longer just where the work happens; it is where reputation is built, observed and shared. When managed with intention, a single project can extend beyond completion, creating sustained visibility and opening the door to continued work in the communities that contractors are aiming to reach.

Learn how new roofing tools improve efficiency, reduce jobsite risks and streamline cleanup for contractors.  

At the 2026 International Roofing Expo (IRE), contractors gathered to explore solutions that address one of the industry’s most persistent challenges; balancing efficiency with jobsite safety and cleanliness. During a live interview on the The Coffee Shops™ sound stage sponsored by SRS Distribution, Karen Edwards spoke with Heath Hicks of The Catch-All about a new lineup of tools shaped by firsthand roofing experience.  

Heath emphasized that each product stems from real jobsite frustrations rather than theoretical design. “My partner Eric and I are really just trying to solve the problems that we face in roofing on a daily basis,” Heath said. That practical focus was evident across the company’s latest innovations.  

One of the most notable developments is a self-leveling roof bucket designed to stabilize tools and materials on sloped surfaces. By adhering securely to the roof, the bucket helps prevent equipment from sliding, reducing interruptions and allowing crews to work more efficiently without constantly repositioning their tools.  

That same emphasis on workflow improvement extends to jobsite cleanup. Heath introduced the Sweeper Bin, a companion product for magnetic rollers used to collect nails. Instead of stopping frequently to empty a full magnet or creating piles that must be gathered later, crews can quickly deposit collected debris into the bin and continue working. “It makes clean up so much faster,” Heath said, adding that the system also helps ensure fewer nails are left behind.  

In addition to improving efficiency, the company is also addressing common installation challenges. A newly developed step flashing product integrates a self-sealing membrane gasket, making it easier to meet code requirements while reducing the likelihood of leaks around chimneys and roof-to-wall transitions.  

Together, these innovations reflect a broader shift toward tools that not only improve production but also protect the homeowner’s property. By reducing damage, minimizing callbacks and improving overall jobsite performance, contractors can deliver a higher level of service.
