Residential vs. commercial flag
Different roofing systems. Shifters flag.
Construction & General Labor
Residential re-roofs, commercial flat roofs, emergency tarps. Weather-sensitive, height-dangerous, skilled work. ShiftSee finds the crew.
The moment that matters
Saturday 6 AM. Perfect weather window — 3 days before rain rolls in. You've got a residential re-roof that needs to tear off today, paper and valley today, and shingle tomorrow. Crew of 5 planned. One guy just texted — he's hungover, not making it. You need a body by 8 AM.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.
What you get
Different roofing systems. Shifters flag.
Roofing is weather-dependent. Broadcast reschedules fire fast.
Different phases of roof work need different skills.

Why ShiftSee works here
Most of your shift work isn't new work. It's the same work, done again. The same weekend crew. The same specialty staff for peak events. The same closers on a Friday night. ShiftSee is built for that reality — every connection you make gets stronger the more you use it, and every shifter's rating and reliability follows them across every business they work with. After six months, you've built a trusted private crew that compounds in value month over month.
Getting started
(free). 2 minutes.
Everyone you'd text first when a shift opens up. They sign up, connect to you, and they're ready.
Schedule one. Broadcast one. Whatever hurts most.
Pat Rousseau, our co-founder, personally onboards every new business in the first 60 days. He'll walk you through setup, answer questions, and stay available by text during your first week live.
No subscription. No setup fees. You only pay when a shift happens. If ShiftSee saves you a single bad-day disaster, it's paid for itself several times over.
