All Things Roofing & Solar: Case Study
Contractor Uses Materials Financing to Scale into Solar Industry
All Things Roofing and Solar (formerly Woodside General Contracting) is based in Danville, Illinois. During the pandemic, the co-owners started their business but quickly experienced difficulties accessing capital. However, with the help of Materials Financing, they expanded to the point of acquiring a seven-figure solar company.

The History
When brothers Joseph and John Garrett started their company, they never expected that a global pandemic and colder weather that limited their ability to work would freeze up their cash flow. Joseph said it was difficult to access capital because lenders wanted proof of credit history, even though their company was just getting started. Growing their business required more money, so Joseph began researching and spending hours at the library in search of an answer to their cash flow problems.
The Changes
Joseph discovered Levelset during this search, and the rest was Materials Financing history. “We were able to grow with Materials Financing when everyone else found it impossible even to maintain,” Joseph said. The team credits its ability to scale exponentially to Materials Financing. They acquired a large solar company, allowing them to grow into All Things Roofing and Solar. Joseph said he looks forward to the continued partnership that provides financial flexibility and cash flow control for their business.
We never thought we wouldn’t be able to acquire materials. Larger financing companies didn't trust us because we were a new company. We couldn’t figure out how to overcome it until we found Levelset.
