The Roofwerks Story
We don’t want to be the biggest. We just want to be the best!
After working in the roofing industry for more than twenty years, Derwin Maness and Will Hayes both came to the same realization: customers had limited and uninspired choices when it came to roofing.
On one hand, there was an abundance of “pickup truck” contractors. These small time players are often uninsured, or underinsured, and rely on a hodge-podge of temporary workers who lack the roofing expertise necessary to professionally install quality roofs. These contractors bring significant risk and expose homeowners to expensive lawsuits if a worker is injured on the job.
On the flip side, you have large, predominantly commercial roofing contractors who tend to treat residential customers like a number. The quality is there — and so are the high prices — but the service is lacking.
The other option: out-of-state roofing contractors who swoop in whenever a major hurricane or winter storm hits North Carolina. They hastily provide repairs, then leave town just as quickly as they arrived.
What homeowners needed was a local roofing company that would put customers first, installing reliable, high quality roofs at a reasonable price.
That vision led Derwin and Will to establish Roofwerks in 2006. The company was built on a foundation of exceptional customer service and supported by a team of well-trained, fully-insured employees with the knowledge and expertise to professionally repair and replace roofs.
Today, Roofwerks is living those values as a truly local roofing company. Derwin and Will were both raised in North Carolina, have made the Triangle their home, and are proud to give back to the community.
Based in Raleigh, Roofwerks is a licensed general contractor that serves homeowners across central North Carolina — from Cary and Chapel Hill to Pinehurst and Wake Forest, and all points in between. Roofwerks understands the unique needs of North Carolina’s homeowners and businesses and knows what type of roofing products work best in this climate.
Roofwerks has expanded over the years to become a full service roofing contractor that serves a growing number of commercial customers and multi-family communities. It has added a coating division and sheet metal offerings, and a spacious new showroom allows customers to view a wide array of roofing options and designs.
While the company has evolved through the years, one thing has never changed: Roofwerks commitment to putting customers first. We take pride in the thousands of satisfied customers we have served and hope we can soon add you to the list!
