Simplify your staffing with Southeast Contracting Services

Simplify your staffing with Southeast Contracting Services

Learn how this company connects contractors with the labor that they need to succeed.

Labor shortages continue to challenge the roofing and broader construction industries — but Southeast Contracting Services is changing that. By providing skilled, reliable workers for both short- and long-term needs, they help contractors complete projects on time and within budget. In a recent episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with Teresa Ramirez, CEO and Founder of Southeast Contracting Services, to discuss how her company fills critical gaps in today’s construction workforce.

Teresa started by sharing a bit about their operations, “We send people all over the country to support the industry. Whether a company needs skilled roofers or general laborers, we’re ready to deploy workers to almost any location. Right now, we’re operating in states like Minnesota, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas. If a project needs hands, we send them the help to get the job done.”

Working with Southeast to find work provides you with both flexibility and cost control — especially valuable in regions with seasonal weather patterns or cyclical workloads. “When you hire temporary contractors, you avoid many ongoing expenses like disability, parental leave, legal claims or unemployment benefits,” Teresa explained. “It works well in places like Iowa and Minnesota where year-round work isn’t always possible. You keep your core crew, and when the season hits, you scale up with our help.”

But Southeast Contracting Services doesn’t stop at just supplying labor. They serve as strategic partners, helping contractors manage the hidden complexities of workforce management, things like union costs, pensions, insurance and travel logistics.

Teresa explained, “We’re not the type to just send workers and walk away. We partner with our clients. We help them understand the full cost of labor, and more importantly, how to reduce it. Whether it's securing affordable hotel deals or handling per diems and compliance, we’re there every step of the way.”

One of the most valuable aspects of Southeast Contracting Services is their deep understanding of the Latino workforce — a vital part of the construction industry. The company specializes in working with Spanish-speaking communities and acts as a cultural and communication bridge between contractors and workers.

“Most of our workers come from Hispanic backgrounds, and Spanish is their first language,” Teresa explained. “At Southeast, we communicate 100% in Spanish with our crews. We understand their culture, values and work ethic. That makes us the perfect liaison between employers and a workforce that’s often overlooked but incredibly capable.”

By combining cultural awareness, operational flexibility and hands-on support, Southeast Contracting Services is redefining what it means to be a true staffing partner in construction.
