Selecting a roofing contractor should be based on
several factors, Craig Squier, president of Kirkey
Roofing, Inc., advises. “You deserve the best
value for your investment,” Craig says, “so your
roofing decision should be based on reputation,
experience, workmanship, quality, warranties,
guarantees, customer satisfaction as well as a
businesses’ longevity.” Craig adds, “We don’t take
short cuts. We care about our clients. We do
things right for the right reasons so our clients
are protected.”
Established in 1951, over the past 58 years Kirkey
Roofing, Inc. has established a solid reputation
for quality and customer service evidenced by
several awards including the 2008 Excellence in
Business Award from the Englewood/Cape Haze Area
Chamber of Commerce and the Best of Englewood
Award from the U.S. Local Business Association.
“We take the safety of our customers and
technicians very seriously, so we bear the
Technician Seal of Safety,” Patty Squier,
marketing manager says. “The crews we send to your
home have been thoroughly screened by a
pre-employment background check and drug testing.
Our employees are trained and certified by the
manufacturers and are covered by workers’
compensation insurance. Recently, a homeowner was
sued by New York state, to pay the workers’
compensation for an uninsured lawn care worker on
their property. Homeowners need to be careful that
they hire properly insured companies to protect
their financial well-being. When we work on your
home, we want to make sure you get a great roof
and you have no worries.”

Not only does Kirkey Roofing care about their
client’s well-being, they care about the
environment, too. In January 2009, Kirkey Roofing
was granted the prestigious “Green Screened”
contractors mark, which is bestowed upon
contractors who embrace the challenge of
protecting the environment and helping homeowners
live “greener” lives. “With an EcoSharp Home
evaluation and home assessment,” Patty says, “we
help our clients improve their homes by making
recommendations regarding insulation, attic
circulation, energy use and discounts on a variety
of services.”
Using energy efficient products can mean a big
savings in federal tax credits and Florida Power
and Light rebates, according to Craig, who notes
that all job sites are cleaned daily with all
debris removed and recycled. “Nothing goes into a
landfill,” he says. “We clean job sites daily
because we wouldn’t want to come home to a messy
yard. We understand what our clients want.”
With customer satisfaction always a top priority,
Kirkey recently added a design center staffed by
Suzanne Gangnagel, granddaughter of Ben Kirkey,
the founder of the company. Suzanne has a lot of
fun helping clients review roofing videotapes and
material samples. “It’s my goal to make sure
customers feel valued and stay informed on every
aspect of their roof project,” Suzanne says. “A
lot of people treat replacing a roof like a boring
project,” she adds. “We want our clients to be
able to enjoy the process of selecting the right
products for their home.”
Getting the right roof for your project is
important. Craig explains, “Our roofing
specialists will evaluate your roof and design the
best solution to meet your expectations and
budget, so you can make an informed decision about
your investment.”
Kirkey Roofing is licensed and insured and handles
all necessary permits with no money down.
“We provide free estimates, and there is no
deposit, no money required up front,” reveals
Patty. “You pay at the end of the job when you are
100 percent satisfied.” In addition, Kirkey
Roofing can provide up to 12-month same as cash
financing as well as unsecured financing payment
plans for up to 10 years.
Built on a foundation of three generations of
customer service and satisfaction, Craig is
looking forward to a positive future in the
roofing business and assures that Kirkey Roofing
is solid. “Your roof is only as good as the
contractor who installs it. We will be here 50
years down the road.”
