And somehow, that's only part of his job description.
Meet ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐บ!
Now, don't let those numbers fool you. Joel hasn't just spent the last decade putting roofs over people's heads.
He's also ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ผ๐
, ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ, and handles about 47 other responsibilities that we're pretty sure weren't in the original job description. At this point, we're just adding things to his plate to see if he'll ever say no. ๐
All jokes aside, ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐น'๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป are two things we have a tremendous amount of respect for.
It's easy to put impressive numbers on a graphic. What's harder to show is the time, effort, long days, and commitment it takes to build that kind of experience while helping build a company and lead a team.
And Joel continues to show up and put in the work.

If you've worked with Joel, had him work on your roof, or just know him personally, drop a comment with your favorite Joel story.
Good stories, funny stories, or the ones he probably wishes you'd forget. We're accepting all submissions. ๐
๐ฃ.๐ฆ. Joel, if you're reading this, congratulations on 700+ roofs. Your reward is probably another meeting tomorrow morning.
