Advanced Roofing

I would come to my office and start making calls to current and future clients for a new roof.  I would meet with my clients, estimate the roof, draw up a proposal and once that was completed, I would order the exact materials needed for the job.  I would then schedule my crew or crews depending on how many jobs I had going on at one time.  I would meet with all city or county inspectors during each phase of the job and meet with or speak with my clients on a daily basis.

I learned how to supervise others, meet with high ranking officials, get a meeting with county or city planners to get the official go-ahead for specific roofing materials my clients wanted to use.  I had to keep up with the ever changing building codes for all of the different municipalities that I worked with during my time with this company.

My management was very helpful with teaching me the permitting process, efficient measuring and ordering of materials, and the entire process of the roofing business.

The job was very hard work, but I loved it very much.

The job itself is not bad, but the environment and people (specifically in the Fort Lauderdale location) are major drawbacks. The management often lacks proper skills and many employees appear underqualified. The compensation is inadequate, especially considering that I am overqualified for the role based on my experience and education.

There is no proper training provided—you're essentially thrown into tasks without guidance, and when you ask questions, you're met with frustration rather than support. Additionally, there is no training on workplace conduct, which creates an unprofessional atmosphere. Some of the things I’ve heard and experienced should have been reported, but addressing such issues feels futile.

It's common for people to push their workload onto others, and when concerns are reported, no action is taken. Instead, they start looking for someone to replace you, which discourages transparency and accountability.

I came into this company with great respect and very eager to learn new things ready to work. I was told I would only be out of town for no later than a month. A couple months later they sent me out to Tampa which was before these covid times. I was not only out there for more than what was told in interview but was out of town for the 5 months away from my family. Meanwhile people are dying and getting sick. I told them I could no longer go out of town because of financial issues meaning my wife was going back to work but at night. So she needed help at nights. My job understood til it was inconvenient with them basically. So to sum up I was fired for not being able to go out of town. Letting me know they really never cared about me or my family. I’ve worked very hard for this company and even fell out in the heat for this company and to find out i am being threatened for my job if I don’t go out of town is outrageous. 

Advanced Roofing is a great place to work and grow in your career. The family atmosphere is excellent. There is an open door policy with the owners and they are willing to do whatever it takes to help you be successful. I have worked for the organization for more than seven years. Everyone is hardworking and passionate about roofing, solar, and philanthropy. The company goes above and beyond to ensure each employee is happy. Also, I very much enjoy the company culture. It's super fun. We have monthly team building events off campus, food trucks, sports teams like softball and ice hockey.

Working at Advanced Roofing, Inc. has been an amazing experience. The company truly values its employees and provides opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. Leadership is approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed.
I’m proud to be part of a company that leads the industry in quality, safety, and integrity. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a long-term career with a company that treats you like family.

No organization, like to blame others instead of fixing the situation. No leadership just bean counters. Needs new management and old to step down and a couple good people to step up.  They have the talent too bad the wrong ones are in charge. It's profitable now it would be so much more if they had leadership. 

This company is family owned and operated. They have been around a little over 20 years. I feel they are a good company to work for. Stability is a key element for this company. Turnover is very low in the offices. A typical day at work for me is enjoyable, empoyees are friendly and so are their pets. Dogs are empoyees too. The most enjoyable part is the freindly, laid-back environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
i guess the pay...that's about it

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the project managers are awful

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
fun and easy but not much work getting done

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
cursing and running around buying material due to a lack of management and organization

I only worked on a contract there for a month but the place itself is not very nice, parking is horrible, and the permanent employees act like they hate it. I assume the pay was so high because they couldn't convince anyone to stay. I left after getting a permanent job offer (for less money) when they couldn't offer permanent employment. I'm glad I did.
