For the contractor ready to scale. For the construction worker who wants to start their own business one day. For the first-generation business owner figuring out the side of the trade nobody teaches you. Nobody handed you a blueprint — until now.
David Reyes didn't learn this in a classroom or at a mastermind. He built it in the field — starting with one truck and building Green Ladder Roofing into a $10M+ home service operation. He knows the difference between a business that runs you and a business you run, because he lived both sides.
He's been in the home service trades for 15+ years. Started in roofing, scaled it to $10M, and realized the system works for any contractor — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, or any trade where you start with a truck and a phone. He's felt the pain of a record revenue month where payroll barely cleared. Now he's focused on buying other businesses and building toward an exit — and teaching what actually worked in the process.
This isn't theory. This is the exact playbook from a real operation that's still running at $10M+.
"I grew up in Section 8 housing. Immigrant parents. Barely graduated high school. Barely graduated college. Then I built a $10M company — not because I was the smartest, but because I copied people already doing what I wanted to do and modified it until it fit."
This playbook is what I wish I had at the start. Every lesson written down so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
I remember the exact moment it clicked. I was sitting in my truck outside a job that should have been profitable — and the math didn't work. Again. I had the crew, the customers, the work. But the money kept disappearing and I couldn't figure out where.
I wasn't missing hustle. I was missing a system.
That's the moment I started building the blueprint that eventually took us to $10M. This playbook is that blueprint — written down so you don't have to sit in that truck wondering what you're missing.
Why This Hits Different
We're trying to change what our family's next 20 years look like. We're trying to prove something. To our parents who worked their whole lives without ever getting to rest. To ourselves. To the people who counted us out.
That's a different kind of pressure. And it deserves a different kind of playbook.
This one was built for you.
I have friends on both ends of the spectrum.
Some of them are on a rocket ship to $100 million. They've built systems, accountability, pipelines. Their business runs without them. Every year compounds.
And I have friends who don't know how to price a job. Who can't tell you their gross margin. Who work 70 hours a week and wonder where the money goes. They're not lazy. They're not dumb. They just never built the operating system.
Here's what I know: within 2 years, what's in this playbook will be the bare minimum standard in this industry. Not a competitive advantage — a baseline requirement just to compete.
The contractors implementing these systems now will be so far ahead that it won't even be close. The ones who don't will feel it. In lost bids. In crews they can't keep. In margins that don't make sense no matter how busy they are.
This took me 15 years and $500,000 in real tuition — mistakes, wrong hires, bad bids, failed systems. I wrote it all down. Every framework. Every lesson.
It's $47. Which is, quite frankly, insane. But the window to use it as a competitive advantage closes fast.
You're stuck because you have missing pieces to the puzzle. The contractors making $3M aren't smarter than you — they just found the blueprint. This is the blueprint.
You're doing real revenue but can't figure out where the money goes at the end of the month.
You know what it feels like to be busy and broke at the same time.
You want to build something that runs without you — not another job that owns you.
You've watched less-skilled competitors charge more and win more — and you're done accepting that.
You sense the industry is changing fast and you want to be ahead of it, not reacting to it.
You want to be on the rocket ship side, not the "I don't know how to price a job" side.
"I've been in HVAC for 14 years. Chapter 2 alone showed me I was leaving $180K a year on the table. I implemented the pricing framework in week one and raised rates 18% without losing a single customer."
"The Crew Machine chapter changed how I hire. I stopped hiring bodies and started hiring systems. My best foreman now trains new hires using SOPs I built from this playbook. Game changer."
"I was doing $3.2M and stuck. Read this in a weekend, implemented the scorecard, fixed my AR process, and broke $4M in 6 months. The 90-day playbook is worth 10x the price alone."
The Truth Nobody Says Out Loud
They had access. Mentors who'd already scaled. Masterminds. Rooms most of us were never invited into. They didn't figure it out from scratch — they borrowed someone else's blueprint.
I didn't have that when I started. I bled for every lesson. Paid $500,000 in tuition to mentors, coaches, and masterminds over the years just to learn what I'm handing you right now.
This is me putting you in those rooms. For $47.
Real systems. No fluff. Every chapter solves a specific problem keeping you stuck — and gives you a concrete action you can implement this week.
Why revenue ≠ income — and the math that separates broke millionaires from actual winners.
Job costing that actually works. Know your true profit on every job before you bid it.
Get your phone ringing on command. Build a system so you're never hunting for leads again.
Why the fastest contractor wins every time. Execution is the cheat code — here's how to build it.
Selling without being sleazy. The 3-tier pricing framework customers choose from, not argue about.
Hiring, training, keeping people. Build a team that executes even when you're not around.
SOPs that don't collect dust. Documented processes that actually get followed and improve margins.
Five numbers that tell you everything. Know your business health at a glance, every single day.
AR, collections, cash flow. Stop leaving money on the table. Get paid faster, keep more.
What breaks when you grow — and how to smash through the plateau most contractors hit.
The systems, roles, and org structure that let you step back from daily operations without chaos.
Building something someone wants to buy. Create an asset, not just a job. Sell for real money.
Your week-by-week action plan. Stop reading and start executing. Here's your exact roadmap.
Raise your close rate by just 5% on 10 leads a month at a $10,000 average ticket.
That's ONE extra job = $10,000.
This playbook cost $47.
That's a 200x return in month one.
Every month you don't have these systems is costing you more than $47. You just can't see it yet.
The difference between these two outcomes isn't talent. It's the operating system you build in the next 90 days.
David built this for the contractor he used to be — grinding hard, making revenue, but not making money.
"I was soaking wet 'cause it was raining when I went to go pick up the money. Soaking wet, tired, everybody's gone. My family's gone. I was sitting on the couch. $3,000 broke. And I'm just like... I don't know."
— David Reyes, after losing money on his first job"Coming from a kid who grew up in Section 8 housing, I would've never believed I would've done a million a year — let alone one month."
— David Reyes, on hitting $1M in a single month"Other people won't survive this moment. So I will. That was my motivation for a long time."
— David Reyes, on the mindset that carried him through
I started with guys who had the same shot I had.
Same city. Same tools. Same market.
Some of them are still where they were 10 years ago. Not because they don't work hard — they outwork me on most days. But ego told them they could figure it out alone. That asking for help was weakness. That following someone else's playbook meant admitting they didn't know enough.
I chose different.
I've spent over $500,000 on my education — coaches, masterminds, mentors, rooms I had no business being in yet. People who'd already built what I was trying to build.
Do I regret it? Not one dollar.
The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner.
Every dollar compounded. My tools got sharper. My decisions got better. The business grew. The guys I started with are still grinding it out alone — waiting to figure it out on their own.
You've got a choice right now.
Protect your ego. Figure it out alone. Slow, expensive, and years away from where you want to be.
Invest in your education. Learn from someone who's already built what you're trying to build. Compress 5 years into one.
That's what this playbook is.
$47 to skip 5 years of expensive mistakes — from someone who paid $500,000 to learn it so you don't have to.
The people who don't get this aren't broke. They're committed to figuring it out the hard way. That's a choice. So is this.
30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
I believe everyone is capable of success.
That's not a motivational line. I mean it literally.
The problem isn't ability. It's time.
The average person runs out of it. They spend their best years figuring out what someone else already figured out the hard way. They carry lessons that could've been borrowed. They pay prices that didn't have to be theirs to pay.
You don't have to learn everything from your own pain.
That's what mentors are for. That's what books are for. That's what this playbook is — someone else's hard-earned lessons, handed to you before you have to bleed for them yourself.
Pull tomorrow's pain into today's education. Learn it now, while you still have time to act on it.
Everyone gets a shot.
Not everyone gets enough time.
Use mine.
30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.

"I didn't start with a business plan. I started with a shovel."
David, age ~20 — first year in roofing
My name is David Reyes. Most people know me as the CEO of Green Ladder Roofing — a company doing over $10 million a year in Southern California.
What most people don't know is where I started.
I was a laborer. A kid on a crew, hauling shingles in the heat, learning the trade from the ground up — literally. No business degree. No connections. No safety net.
Just the belief that if I worked hard enough and paid close enough attention, I could build something real.
It took years. It took mistakes I'm not proud of. And it took learning — from mentors, from failures, from the field — that the gap between a $300K contractor and a $3M contractor isn't talent. It's systems. It's process. It's knowing what the top operators know.
That's exactly what I put in this playbook.
This isn't theory. Every strategy, every system, every number in this book came from building a real company with real people in a real market.
If I could go back and hand my younger self a roadmap — this would be it.
— David 'Don Ale' Reyes, CEO, Green Ladder Roofing
