Prestige Roofing’s Journey: 20 Years of Quality Commercial Roofing

This December, Prestige Roofing turned twenty years old! We recently took a little time to celebrate our anniversary and to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the entire Prestige Roofing team over the years. Of course, we got to reminiscing, so here are some memories of our early days as recalled by co-founder, Tom Romney:

The Very Beginning: Dec 1995

After managing another roofing company in Las Vegas, Jack and I decided we wanted to build a roofing company of our own, so we started Prestige Roofing. Our first job was a $700 reroof on a small garage. We used the money to buy a fax machine and a file cabinet. We actually worked out of my house for a month before moving into our first office near Pecos and Craig Road.

For three months, the two of us did all the work before we had enough money to hire a few employees. In those early days, we did mostly small residential re-roofing projects with some custom home roofing mixed in. We bought a manual sheet metal brake and started small metal fascia work.

The Early Years: Aug 1998

Three years later, we had grown enough that we ran out of space and had to find a new home. Feeling optimistic, we went out on a limb and purchased our current building near Cheyenne and Clayton in North Las Vegas. It was a little too large for us at first, so we rented out half of it. By August of 2000, we had grown enough to take over the entire building.

Hard Times in the Roofing Business and Lessons Learned

Through the recession years, we had to hunker down and grind out a living, but we managed to hold together and keep all of our key personnel. We learned to appreciate every single client more than ever. The best way to survive hard times is to work harder to ensure our product is of the highest quality—so when a client needs a roof, they think of us first.

Over the years, we have built a reputation as a high-quality company that delivers on its promises. In addition to reroofing, which got us started and remains a major part of our business, we have installed roofs on schools, churches, shopping centers, and custom homes in Southern Nevada. Beyond standard roofing materials, we have become specialists in custom projects using prefinished steel, copper, zinc roofs, and antique clay tiles salvaged from buildings in France and Italy.

The Prestige Roofing Family

Success comes from the dedication and hard work of our staff, who get the job done every day. We have always aimed to provide a stable career opportunity, and many of our employees have been with us for over 15 years. We have watched each other’s families grow and supported one another through challenges. Jack and I value being part of this team and look forward to many more years together.

Looking Forward to Twenty More Years

Las Vegas has changed tremendously since 1995. One thing we’ve learned is that this city never stops growing, and we plan to grow with it. As we close out 2015, we look forward to continuing as one of the premier commercial roofing contractors in Southern Nevada.
