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.

Learn how contractors are using jobsite protection systems to strengthen visibility, generate referrals and reinforce a professional brand presence. 

For roofing contractors, the jobsite does more than house the work; it shapes how a company is perceived in real time. In a competitive market, that first impression can influence whether a homeowner sees a contractor as organized, professional and trustworthy before any direct conversation begins. That is where products like The Catch-All can serve a dual purpose. While the system is built to protect landscaping and reduce cleanup time during tear-offs, it also gives contractors a way to present a more polished and intentional image. With logo banners and customizable messaging, crews can turn an active roofing project into a visible extension of their brand. 

That added visibility matters because it places marketing directly in the neighborhoods where contractors want to build recognition. Rather than depending entirely on digital advertising or outbound outreach, roofers can use the jobsite itself to create awareness among nearby homeowners. A setup that looks orderly, branded and well managed can help distinguish one company from the many others working in the same market. 

For Brandon Moye, co-founder of Home Source Roofing in Williamsport, Maryland, that distinction proved meaningful early in the company’s growth. Brandon, his brother Chris and their father John, built the business without a sales team, relying instead on discipline, presentation and a commitment to higher standards. As they refined their process, they realized that even a well-cleaned jobsite could still look like any other roofing project. The Catch-All helped change that. Brandon shared, “Within the first three months, we never had someone drive by and stop to ask us who we were. Since we got The Catch-All, it happens at least once a week.” 

That increased visibility also produced a financial return. According to John, the system paid for itself in three to four jobs, demonstrating how presentation and process can support growth at the local level. 

Products like custom logo banners and the Home Show Marketing Kit extend that strategy even further, giving contractors tools to showcase their approach both on the jobsite and at events. In that sense, the value is not just in protection; it is in creating a stronger, more recognizable presence wherever the company shows up.

Learn how new roofing tools are helping contractors reduce labor, improve safety and streamline jobsite operations. 

At the International Roofing Expo (IRE) 2026, contractors looking for practical ways to improve day-to-day operations found a clear theme across the show floor; solutions designed to make common tasks faster, safer and more consistent. Speaking with The Coffee Shops™ at their booth, Heath Hicks of The Catch-All outlined how contractor-driven innovation is addressing persistent jobsite challenges in material handling, cleanup and property protection. 

These tools are rooted in direct field experience. Heath, who operates both residential and commercial roofing businesses, explained that the product line developed in response to recurring inefficiencies crews face on active jobsites. Heath shared, “We have a whole host of products now that help roofers protect their job sites and move material around the job sites and keep it clean and market well around your job sites.” 

That practical focus is evident in the Load Runner, an automated wheelbarrow dump designed to streamline debris handling. Instead of manually tossing material into dumpsters, often creating mess and requiring crews to climb inside, the system allows for controlled dumping and more complete loading. The result is a process that improves both efficiency and jobsite safety. Heath notes, “It saves you a lot of time, saves you a lot of labor.” 

Additional tools address smaller but frequent inefficiencies that can add up over the course of a project. A self-leveling roof bucket helps contractors carry tools securely while climbing ladders, reducing unnecessary trips and minimizing dropped equipment. At the same time, Step Shield integrates a self-sealing gasket into step flashing, helping mitigate leaks around nail penetrations; a common source of callbacks, particularly around chimneys and roof-to-wall transitions. 

Cleanup and property protection round out the system. A sweeper bin attachment allows crews to collect nails in a single pass without repeated interruptions, while protective systems such as Shrub Shield and AC Shield help prevent damage to landscaping and air conditioning units which are issues that can quickly become costly if overlooked. 

These innovations reflect a broader shift toward simplifying routine work. Rather than reinventing the jobsite, the goal is to remove friction from the tasks contractors perform every day. As Heath noted, the reaction from many crews is immediate recognition: “I can't believe I didn't think of that.”

Clean jobsites build neighborhood trust and turn everyday roofing work into a reputation-building promise. 

On a residential street, the sound of busy roofers fades and what remains is the evidence: A swept driveway, tools lined up where they belong and flower beds left standing. This is where The Catch-All enters the story, not as a product first, but as a positive presence shaping how  the original beauty of jobsites are preserved rather than destroyed. 

Roofing has always been about materials and methods, but the impact on the area surrounding the work speaks just as loudly. Neighbors watch from windows while homeowners look on, forming opinions long before the first shingle is placed. “Modern buyers link visible cleanliness with safety, skill and professionalism,” The Catch-All team notes. They emphasize  why a clean jobsite perimeter and debris collection reads as competence and why scattered materials and trashcan register as risk. One driveway can influence how an entire block understands the crew working there, depending entirely on how it’s being cared for. 

Jobsite cleanliness is not a singular task but rather, a sequence of conscious operations; from perimeter protection that keeps debris from scattering to equipment that never looks abandoned. Each intentional part of The Catch-All design builds on the next, creating a singular product that can address multiple concerns at once. In the end, the yard stays intact, walkways remain open, the crew is mindful of their surroundings and the site begins to feel contained, making homeowners and other potential customers feel reassured of the quality of work.  Leaving behind a clean jobsite changes what happens after the installation, too. Customers are happy with the results and preservation of their yard and landscapes, while those watching from afar are impressed with the crew’s professionalism.   That shine and positive impact is thanks to a system that moves smoothly and efficiently, cutting back on damages and potential for risks. The advantage of being the crew that leaves nothing behind 

In the end, the difference is shaped by a crew that can work without constantly stopping to chase debris or explain the mess left behind. With The Catch-All in place, the pristine yard returns to itself, the driveway shows no proof of rummaging and the work feels organized from start to finish. Neighbors who watched the job unfold already understand what that order means and who they would call if their own roof needed attention. For the crew, it means fewer hazards underfoot and a cleaner path throughout the job. For the contractor, it means fewer callbacks, stronger first impressions and a site that markets the company without a word being spoken. Thanks to The Catch-All, everyday cleanup is turned into a visible signal of professionalism, safety and care.
