I had my start in roofing at the age of 19 and I had no idea back then that this early job would be a lifelong career for me. After a span of approx. 17 years in working with 5 different roofing companies, I was prepared to start my own company. Soon after, my wife gave birth to the first of our 3 daughters in June 1996 and with only one employee, Ability Plus Roofing, Inc. had its start.
I worked hard installing roofs during the day and talking to new customers at lunchtime, evenings & weekends. The business grew fairly quickly after that first year as word was getting out. My biggest struggle however, was in hiring new employees.
