Founding Silks Roofing:

A Commitment to Uncompromising Quality

When you're choosing a roofing partner for your home here in Manatee or Sarasota County, I understand it's a significant decision. You aren't just buying materials; you're investing in peace of mind.

I’m the founder and the State Licensed Roofing Contractor behind Silks Roofing, and I want to personally guarantee that you’ll receive an uncompromising standard of professionalism and hands-on accountability. We are a fully insured, local company, and my commitment is to you.

Heritage Forged by Discipline and Endurance

My story—and the inspiration for our name, Silks Roofing—comes from the demanding world of Kentucky horse racing. It’s a culture defined by discipline, flawless execution, and endurance—the same qualities I demand from my crew and myself on every roof we touch.

When I moved to Florida, I quickly learned that roofing here has its own unique, demanding excellence. We don't just put up shingles; my team and I, backed by 30+ years of combined experience, have mastered the techniques required to withstand extreme UV exposure, relentless tropical downpours, and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) events. We are proud to be a factory-certified contractor, which allows us to install the most durable, HVHZ-rated systems and offer robust warranties on select systems.

Local Commitment and My Personal Guarantee

This business is built on local relationships. We are your neighbors. That's why I insist on personally overseeing every single project, from the initial inspection right through to the final sign-off.

My commitment to this community includes featuring key local talent and ensuring our bi-lingual staff can communicate clearly and effectively, which is invaluable for navigating complex permitting in all local municipalities.

My personal involvement is the ultimate assurance of guaranteed quality. You can rest easy knowing your investment is protected by a team of true professionals, fully covered by General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance.
