Hello, my name is Lester Yutzy from Nickerson, Kansas (45 miles northwest of Wichita). After owning my own roofing company for more than 25 years, I made a decision to turn this business over to our three sons with two locations; one in Kansas and one in Missouri.
My first commercial roof job was on a water treatment facility in 1988. It had a tar and gravel roof. My company put on Conklin Rapid Roof base coat and top coat after a thick layer of polyurethane foam was applied for extra energy savings through insulation. Three decades later, that roof has only had to be cleaned and recoated. It is still performing with excellence today.
Previously, I grew up on a farm and helped my father in building construction. I started my own construction company in 1983. Then I was introduced to Conklin by a friend. This changed everything for me. The smaller crew size, ease of application, bigger-sized jobs and higher profitability margins allowed for a completely better life for me and my family.
Today, I work with more than a hundred contractors nationwide on a full-time basis. My decades of experience owning a commercial roofing business is a key part of the reason I’m able to help others grow faster, avoid making costly mistakes and gain the confidence they need to develop a highly profitable commercial roofing company of their own.
I can help anyone who brings ambition, integrity and honesty. Whether you are just starting out or have a well-established presence in your local area, there are many different ways to rapidly grow a commercial roofing business using techniques that have been proven to work by contractors just like you.
