“We are a locally owned and operated company, and a large part of our culture is supporting the community we live in,” said Erin Bakker, director of business development with Specialty Roofers.
Founded in 2011, Specialty Roofers is one of the fastest growing roofing companies in Northwest Florida and deals in residential and commercial projects. President and general manager Mike Miller, CEO Cole Bakker and vice president Josh Diehl combined to start the company, which now employs more than 50 people.
For years, the company supported local charities by putting together teams for a race or tournament or showing up in support of a local event. Recently, the company has begun its own signature events.
In 2020 and again in 2021, Specialty Roofers gave a roof away to a deserving public servant — a first responder and then a high school teacher.
On Nov. 4, 2022, Specialty Roofers held the first Westonwood Ranch Sporting Clays Tournament. Four-person teams competed with proceeds benefitting Westonwood Ranch, a nonprofit dedicated to improving life skills and pre-vocational skills in young adults with developmental challenges. The event raised over $60,000 for the organization.
“We’ve grown a lot, but our mission has always remained the same — provide the best quality workmanship, highly skilled labor and exemplary customer care because each roof is important to a homeowner or business owner, and they are our neighbors,” Bakker said.
