About Us
Who We Are
Brown’s Roofing is here to redefine the roofing industry with a commitment to honesty, excellence, lifelong relationships, forward-thinking, and community service. Founded by three passionate individuals who recognized the need for change, we set out to address common issues plaguing the roofing sector. Improper installation, storm damage, lack of maintenance, and confusion around insurance processes were prevalent problems that inspired us to create a solution-oriented roofing company.
We understand that proper education is key to preventing future issues, so we take the time to educate homeowners on maintenance practices. Using only class three shingles, we ensure the durability and longevity of our roofing solutions. We also collaborate closely with homeowners to navigate insurance claims, guiding them through the process with transparency and clarity.
At Brown’s Roofing, our roots lie in addressing the shortcomings of the industry—poor communication, lack of job site presence, subpar installation, high prices, and unethical business practices. We distinguish ourselves through a strong emphasis on customer service. We are present on every job, addressing homeowner concerns promptly and ensuring a seamless experience. Transparency in pricing and proactive assistance with insurance claims sets us apart, and we take pride in being a reliable partner for homeowners.
