About Us

Mike Klem / Owner

Mike’s journey in the roofing industry began in the late 70’s when working with his father and uncle who were custom home builders and general contractors. Between tearing off shingles, loading roofs, learning the trade as a laborer, and completing residential and commercial installations, he has seen and done it all in the roofing industry.

Mike received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University and his MBA from Western Governors University. In addition to doing exceptional work as a general contractor in the DFW market, Mike is a licensed adjuster and public adjuster in Texas as well as several other states. He frequently mentors other roofing contractors, helping them improve their overall business, and he speaks at conferences and summits throughout the country. If you ever have a question, his door is always open. Mike often says, “I believe in you being your best; your focus needs to be on faith, family and your future. In doing so, never trade what you want most for what you want right now."

Mike and his wife of 37 years have four children and three grandchildren. He enjoys golfing and traveling to see his family, who live in various parts of the US.
