Entrepreneur • Operator • Strategic Advisor

Old-School Work Ethic. Modern-Day Execution.

I’m Nick Lavelle. My work spans roofing, business operations, sales leadership, and helping people bring the right resources together to solve difficult problems.

Background

I didn’t start in a boardroom.

I’m a third-generation tire kid from northern Illinois. Fifteen years old, dropped on the South Side of Chicago at 8am on a Saturday to work Section 8 properties. That was the classroom.

From the tire business to manual labor to roofing to running operations across the country, I’ve spent my career helping businesses solve expensive problems, build better systems, and execute at a higher level. I opened offices, ran storm-response operations, and later held leadership roles including Vice President of Operations and Director of Project Accounting.

I’ve worked with Lavelle Solutions across multiple businesses, and they’ve consistently helped me optimize operations, improve efficiency, and build smarter systems tailored to our needs.

From streamlining sales team workflows and go to market strategies for our restoration business to developing lead generation strategies for our MMA gym, Lavelle Solutions has delivered practical solutions that drive results.

Most recently, I had them develop an all in one shop management platform for our service center, designed to improve technician efficiency, streamline workflows, and optimize the vehicle reconditioning process for our dealership partners.

What sets Lavelle Solutions apart is their ability to understand different business models and develop technology driven solutions that address real operational challenges. Whether it’s sales, marketing, lead generation, or day to day operations, they help turn complex processes into streamlined, scalable systems.

I highly recommend Lavelle Solutions to any business looking to leverage technology, optimize operations, and scale more efficiently.

CRM development, operations, and execution

“When I needed a CRM built around the way my business actually operates, Nick was the person I trusted to make it happen. He built out a system tailored to our workflow and business needs.”

“I had the privilege of working alongside Nick Lavelle during our time at [a national roofing contractor], where he served as Vice President and I was the top lead setter in our inside sales call center.

We ran a tight ship, supporting a nationwide operation that kept over 300 sales representatives on roofs year-round. At that level, success requires much more than great salespeople. It takes strong leadership, efficient systems, accountability, and processes that actually work. Nick understood that better than anyone.

What sets Nick apart is his ability to take a vision and turn it into a fully functioning operation. He doesn’t just talk strategy — he knows how to build the systems, implement the processes, and execute at a high level.

Fast-forward to today, I’m the owner of The Lead Girls, a lead generation company serving the roofing industry. When I needed a CRM built around the way my business actually operates, Nick was the person I trusted to make it happen. He built out a system tailored to our workflow and business needs.

I’ve seen Nick’s capabilities firsthand, both inside a large national organization and as a business owner building my own company. His knowledge of operations, technology, sales infrastructure, and business development is exceptional.

Nick is a true operator. He sees the big picture, understands the details, and knows how to turn chaos into structure. If you’re looking for someone who can build, streamline, and scale your business systems, he’s the guy you want in your corner.

Simply put, Nick Lavelle is an absolute badass at what he does, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

Leadership, character, and developing people

“Nick has a natural ability to recognize the strengths and potential in others, challenge them to exceed their own expectations, and provide the encouragement and direction necessary for them to succeed.”

I had the privilege of working alongside Nick Lavelle from the beginning of 2020 through the end of 2025. During those six years, I witnessed firsthand his exceptional leadership abilities, professional dedication, and remarkable talent for bringing out the best in those around him.

Nick possesses an extraordinary ability to manage pipelines, coordinate operations, and maintain a clear vision of both immediate priorities and long-term objectives. His organizational skills, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate challenges make him an invaluable asset in any professional environment.

What truly sets Nick apart is his leadership. He does not simply manage people; he inspires them. Nick has a natural ability to recognize the strengths and potential in others, challenge them to exceed their own expectations, and provide the encouragement and direction necessary for them to succeed. He leads by example, holds himself to high standards, and motivates those around him to do the same.

Throughout our years working together, I developed tremendous respect for Nick’s character, integrity, and commitment to excellence. He understands that true leadership is not measured solely by results, but also by the positive impact a person has on the people who help achieve those results.

Nick is the type of individual who makes an organization stronger simply by being part of it. His combination of talent, determination, professionalism, and genuine investment in the success of others is something that cannot easily be taught.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nick Lavelle and believe he would be an exceptional asset to any organization, team, or opportunity he chooses to pursue.

Win The Storm

On stage at Win The Storm 2025. Back again this year.

In 2025 I took the stage at Win The Storm, the storm restoration industry’s conference, to talk roofing. Owner after owner showed me the same thing: the problem is never one thing in one lane. That stage is where Lavelle Solutions started making sense.

I’m going back again this year.
