Michelle was 10 years old when she was on her first roof. She was given the responsibility of pulling the shingles apart and handing them to her father as he installed each piece. Her father instilled in her a quality of workmanship that carried down from his father. Roofing was in Michelle’s blood. She would later go off to college at Oral Roberts University to pursue her degree in Business Administration then back home in Southern California to work at a law firm in Santa Ana. A year had passed and off her parents went to Colorado to open up a Roofing Company in Denver. Her sister and she followed and for 10 years she helped them run a successful company becoming the premier tile roof installers in the Metro Denver area.
While working at her father’s roofing company, she met her husband Jose who was one of the Superintendents for her father’s business (her dad approved!). They later got married and had four children.
In 2004, Jose and Michelle took a step of faith and moved to Nashville to begin their own Roofing Company. With Jose’s knowledge and expertise of installing 1,000’s of squares of tile and slate roofs and Michelle’s knowledge of sales and business, they knew they had a winning combination.
“My dad always taught me to never give up and to look at success as only what others say about you.” Her and Jose take that advice with them and apply it to every roof Roofing by Design, Inc. installs. “We pride on our craftsmanship making sure that every roof is treated as a work of art”, Jose says. “We want every customer to be proud that they chose us to become their roofer. Treating each of them as long-term relationships”.
Since the beginning they have stayed true to what they do best, tile and slate roof installation. Yes, due to the economy they have made some diversification and do shingles also, but they still believe that no matter what roof product is used it’s the customer who is the winner.
Roofing by Design, Inc. is committed to providing quality, craftsmanship and stand-out service to every homeowner for a lifetime of excellence.
