Happy National Roofing Week 2026!

Today’s theme is Celebration!

While we do our best to show appreciation for our roofing crews throughout the year, National Roofing Week gives us the chance to pause, say thank you, and recognize the people who make our roofing division what it is.

This week, that recognition came in the form of breakfasts, lunches, and a little extra time spent celebrating our crews, because as we all know, the way to a roofer’s heart usually starts with food!

Our roofing teams work through early mornings, long days, changing weather, difficult details, and demanding schedules. Their hard work, skill, and commitment are what allow us to deliver quality roofing projects for our customers year after year.

As National Roofing Week comes to a close, we want to say thank you to every member of our roofing team. We appreciate your dedication, your craftsmanship, and the pride you take in your work.

You are a big part of what makes McDowall Company who we are!

Happy National Roofing Week 2026!

Today's theme is Training & Safety.

When people think about commercial roofing, they often think about the physical demands of the job. What many don't see is the extensive training, education, and commitment to safety that takes place behind the scenes.

To become a journeyperson roofer, an apprentice must complete:
🔹 144 classroom hours per year for three years
🔹 6,000 hours of on-the-job training
🔹 Extensive education in safety practices, roofing systems, materials, and installation techniques

At McDowall Company, we are proud to invest in the next generation of roofing professionals. From apprenticeship training to ongoing safety education, our goal is simple: ensure every employee has the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to perform their work safely and professionally.

That commitment to safety has helped us earn recognition from the State of Minnesota, but more importantly, it helps our team return home safely at the end of every day.

Happy National Roofing Week 2026!

Today's theme is Employee Appreciation.

With 17 active job sites, it's not always easy to get our crews to stop long enough for a photo. Most days they're more interested in getting the job done than being in the spotlight.

Our roofing teams are often on site before sunrise and work through everything Minnesota throws at them; cold mornings, summer heat, high winds, and this week's stifling humidity.

The roofs they install help protect schools, businesses, healthcare facilities, and community organizations throughout the region. While most people only see the finished roof, they don't always see the skill, dedication, and hard work required to build it.

This week, and throughout the year, we're grateful for the men and women who represent McDowall Company on rooftops across Minnesota.

Thank you for your commitment to quality craftsmanship, safety, and taking pride in your work.

National Roofing Week is about celebrating roofers, and we're proud to have some of the best in the industry.

Happy National Roofing Week 2026!

Today's theme is charitable giving.

One of the things we appreciate most about working in Central Minnesota is the opportunity to be part of something bigger than the projects we build.

The communities where we live and work are strengthened by organizations that support families, education, arts, history, recreation, and those in need. Throughout the years, McDowall Company has been proud to support many local organizations, including the United Way, Boys & Girls Clubs, Tri-County Humane Society, Great River Children's Museum, YMCA, Stearns History Museum, Paramount Center for the Arts, local schools, and many others.

For us, community involvement isn't about recognition. It's about supporting the organizations that help make Central Minnesota a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

As we celebrate National Roofing Week, we're reminded that the same people installing roofs, managing projects, and serving customers are also coaching youth sports, volunteering, supporting local causes, and investing in their communities.

We're grateful for the opportunity to give back and proud to work alongside roofing professionals who care about the communities they help build every day!

One of the more interesting parts of attending career fairs is seeing how many students don’t realize how many career paths exist inside a company like McDowall Company.

Yesterday in Monticello, MN, we spent the day talking with students about careers in roofing, sheet metal, HVAC, and apprenticeship opportunities, while also showing them that construction companies need everything from HR and IT to marketing, sales, and operations to keep things moving.

At our booth, students had the chance to build small sheet metal toolboxes as an example of the hands-on work our field teams do every day. By the end of the event, we had built around 40 toolboxes and had a lot of great conversations along the way.

Not every student is going to take the same path after high school, and that’s okay. Events like this are valuable because they give students exposure to opportunities they may not have considered before.

Really appreciate everyone who helped organize the event and all the students who stopped by to talk with us.

We had our monthly department meeting this week.

It happens every 3rd Wednesday at 7:30 AM.

Twenty-two of us, from all departments, gather for one hour to talk through the work: what’s in progress, what we’re pursuing, and what we’ve won.

We’ve been doing this consistently since 2004. That’s over 264 hours spent in one room, one hour at a time.

Some people grumble about the time. Some grumble about the frequency.

But once we’re there, the tone is always the same….positive, focused, and moving forward.

McDowall Company is built on people, and in that room, it shows.

We’re all working toward the same goal: be the best at what we do!

It’s one hour a month, but it drives everything we do the other 160+!

A lot of talent on display today at Albany MN Secondary School!

We had a great time at Career Day talking with students about what comes next, and more importantly, letting them try it for themselves.

There’s something different that happens when you put tools in someone’s hands. Confidence builds quickly. Curiosity kicks in. And suddenly, the trades start to feel like a real option.

One of the best parts of the day? Watching these students jump in and build their own toolbox, and yes, there were some very skilled young women leading the way.

College is a great path for many.

But for those who like to work with their hands, solve problems, and see the results of their work every day, the trades are a path worth considering.

We’re proud to be part of that conversation. www.mcdowallco.com

What careers are you encouraging your kids (or students) to explore right now?

Yesterday, the McDowall team had a great time working with Paynesville, Minnesota’s 8th grade students to introduce them to careers in the skilled trades. With so many career paths available today, we enjoyed sharing the advantages of building a future in the trades.

Students got hands-on experience working with sheet metal tools and materials, learning some of the skills used every day in HVAC and construction. We also discussed opportunities in commercial roofing and sheet metal, along with the advantages of entering an apprenticeship right after graduation.

The future of the trades starts with opportunities like these — giving students a chance to see, touch, and build something real.
Thank you to the Paynesville FFA chapter and the teachers and students who participated!

This week we are proud to celebrate Women in Construction Week!

At McDowall Company, the women on our team play a critical role in everything we do, from project coordination and financial management to dispatch, compliance, customer communication, and operational leadership.

While construction is often associated with what happens in the field, the work behind the scenes is just as essential. These professionals help keep our projects moving, our customers informed and supported, and our standards of safety and compliance strong.

We are grateful for their expertise, leadership, and commitment to excellence every single day!
