Roofing truck wrap design: 8 ideas for the truck in the driveway

A roof job puts your crew on the highest point of the street, with the truck parked out front all day. Neighbors walk by, look up at the noise, and look at the truck. Some of them have a roof the same age. That is the moment the wrap has to answer two questions: who are you, and how do I call you.

Roofing sells on trust. People can't see the work from the ground, and after a storm they can get knocks on the door from crews they don't know. A clean, consistent truck says you are a local company that will be around next year.

This guide shows 8 designs made with our free generator for crew cab pickups, vans, a trailer, and a box truck, plus the license number rules in Minnesota and California. Every company below is fictional. To try them with your own name, open the free roofing crew cab pickup wrap ideas tool.

What a roofing truck should say

  1. Business name. Biggest text on the truck.
  2. Phone number. Second biggest, on both sides and the tailgate.
  3. One service line. "Roof repair and replacement," "Storm damage repair," or "Shingle, metal, and flat roofs." Pick the one you want more calls for.
  4. License number, where your state asks for it. See the rules below.
  5. Website. Short, so people can look you up before they call.

Leave off long lists of shingle brands and every service you offer. A homeowner reads a truck in a few seconds.

8 roofing truck and trailer designs

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and number come out spelled right.

1. Two-tone crew cab: red lower body

Two-tone roofing crew cab pickup wrap concept for Thornbury Roofing, a fictional company, red lower panels and gold accent on a white truck

The lower panels carry the color and hide the dirt that a job site throws at them. The name sits on the clean white upper half. Red and gold read as a warm, local brand.

2. Full color: charcoal truck, orange accent

Full color roofing pickup wrap concept for Cobbleway Roofing, a fictional company, charcoal body with orange accent and white lettering

Charcoal hides roofing dust and tar marks better than white. White letters on a dark truck read from the curb. The orange accent works as the color you repeat on the trailer, the yard sign, and the shirts.

3. Stripe for a storm repair crew

Stripe style roofing pickup wrap concept for Stonehollow Roofing, a fictional company, blue and yellow stripes with storm damage repair tagline

Two stripes along the doors keep the cost down and look the same on every truck you add. The tagline names the job: storm damage repair. Blue and yellow give this crew a look that differs from the red trucks in designs 1 and 6.

4. Minimal door lettering

Minimal roofing pickup lettering concept for Mapleford Roofing, a fictional company, black and red text on a white truck door

Name, "Licensed roofing contractor," phone, website, and license number on the doors. It is the starting point for a one-truck shop and keeps the truck usable as a personal vehicle.

5. Color block van for repair calls

Color block roofing van wrap concept for Larkspur Roofing Co., a fictional company, green front block with roof inspections and repairs tagline

Some shops run a van for repairs and inspections while the crews take the pickups. A green block over the cab and the tagline "Roof inspections and repairs" set the van apart as the service side of the business. See more roofing van wrap ideas.

6. Swoosh van that matches the trucks

Swoosh style roofing van wrap concept for Thornbury Roofing, a fictional company, red swoosh and gold accent on a white van

Same company as design 1, same red and gold. The swoosh adds motion on the longer van side. Matching colors across trucks and vans make a small fleet look bigger.

7. Trailer side as a billboard

Two-tone roofing trailer wrap concept for Cobbleway Roofing, a fictional company, charcoal lower wall and orange phone number on an enclosed trailer

A trailer parked at the curb for a tear-off is the biggest flat sign you own. Put the name and phone high on the wall, where shingle bundles and the dumpster don't block them. If you haul an open dump trailer, put the name and phone on the tailgate and front rail. Read more in our enclosed trailer graphics guide.

8. Box truck for commercial roofing

Stripe style roofing box truck wrap concept for Stonehollow Roofing, a fictional company, for commercial roofing

A box truck that carries material to flat roof jobs has a large clean panel. Say "commercial" on it if you chase property managers and warehouses.

Ladder racks, tailgates, and the second truck

License numbers on roofing trucks: two state examples

Not every state licenses roofers, and the rules that exist differ. Two states publish clear ones.

Minnesota. Minnesota Statutes §326B.87, subdivision 2, says "the license number of a licensee must appear in any advertising by that licensee including but not limited to signs, vehicles, business cards, published display ads, flyers, brochures, websites, and Internet ads." The definition of "licensee" in §326B.802 includes a "residential roofer." The Department of Labor and Industry adds that "the law does not require a specific size print or location for the license number." So a Minnesota roofer's truck needs the number, and you choose where it goes. Put it on the door with the name.

California. A 2020 bulletin from the Contractors State License Board says that under Business and Professions Code §7029.6, "your business name and contractor license number should be clearly visible on your commercially registered vehicle in print type of at least 72-point font, or three-quarters of an inch in height and width." Roofing is its own license class in California (C-39 Roofing Contractor).

For other states, check your contractor board, and your city, before the wrap goes to print.

Federal DOT marking. A crew cab towing a loaded trailer can cross the federal weight line. Under 49 CFR 390.5, a vehicle used in interstate commerce is a commercial motor vehicle when its gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or actual weight, is "4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more." A commercial motor vehicle needs the marking in 49 CFR 390.21: your name and USDOT number on both sides, in letters that "contrast sharply in color with the background." Ask FMCSA or your state DOT how the rules apply to your trucks, and leave a clear spot on the door for the DOT line.

Colors for a roofing truck

Make yours

  1. Open the roofing crew cab pickup wrap ideas page.
  2. Type your business name, tagline, phone, website, and license line. Pick two colors and add a logo if you have one.
  3. See 24 free watermarked previews: 6 styles on a pickup, a van, a box truck, and a 24x18 yard sign. No account needed. The previews render in your browser, so your logo stays on your device.
  4. Take the layout you like to a local wrap shop as the starting point.

Clean files cost $9 for one vehicle concept plus its matching yard sign, or $29 for all 24 plus a brand sheet. These are concept proofs, not print files. Your wrap shop builds the print file for your exact truck. For a leave-behind after a storm, see the roofing door hanger maker.

FAQ

What should a roofing truck wrap include? Business name, phone number, one service line such as "Roof repair and replacement," your license number where your state requires it, and a short website. Put the phone on both sides and the tailgate.

Do roofers need a license number on their trucks? In some states. Minnesota Statutes §326B.87 requires a licensed residential roofer's license number in all advertising, and the statute lists vehicles by name. California's licensing board says contractor vehicles with commercial registration need the business name and license number in 72-point type or larger. Check your own state and city.

What colors work on a roofing truck? Dark lower panels in charcoal, navy, or deep red hide job site dirt. Add one warm accent, such as orange or gold, for the phone number.

Can I see my roofing truck design before I pay a shop? Yes. The free roofing crew cab pickup wrap ideas tool shows your name, phone, and colors in 6 styles on a pickup, a van, a box truck, and a yard sign.
