Larry's Story

Beginning my business was a true leap of faith.  I had a daughter starting college and a son in high school.  Finances were tight, but I knew this was what I should be doing. I grew up in a roofing family, took a break to learn how businesses operate, then began my own at the age of forty-three.  Scared, yes.  Determined, yes. Stubborn to succeed, even more so!

Back then contractors weren’t the most upstanding individuals.  I recognized a need for a reputable roofing contractor in the Puget Sound area.  So began my journey.
 
Literally, I was a one man show—truly, one man, one ladder, and one truck.  The details of how the job was going to actually be played out never bothered me.  I knew that if I didn’t do what I said I was going to do, I would be seen like the other failed contractors…full of empty promises. That is not how I wanted my company to be viewed, simply because that is not how I run my personal affairs.

I started my shop in an “A” frame cabin that sat along 1-90 in Issaquah.  Now, in its place sits a Chevrolet dealership.  My long-time friend designed my sign that stood in front of my first office (that very logo still exists). I had it all in place and was ready to go.   

Yep, everything was in place…but I needed to get that phone ringing.  I remember staring at the phone, willing it to ring; knowing full well that someone would call. But having the expectation that it should ring more!  I had a lot of time to think about how to execute myself in the beginning.  How did I want my customers to view my service while considering prospective clients, as well.  Even today, I feel the same way as I did back then, I want customers to think of my company as my friends see me—hard working, honest, and reliable.  Not much has changed.

Beginning a business is tough.  My stories are endless.  From being called at 11PM one evening to pick up 5 nails in someone’s grass from the tear off that day to receiving my first plate of cookies from a young family who was pleased with what my company did for them.

It’s about treating people fairly—you know the golden rule: Do unto others as they would do unto you.  I taught my children that and I treat my employees that way. And every customer who walks though my door.

I love what I do because I do what I love.  To me, there isn’t anything better than looking at a job well done…and I get to do that regularly.
