What do Perkins Roofing, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Yeti® and StealthBond® Have in Common?

The answer is that they are all connected through Perkins Roofing in southeastern Florida.

Congratulations to Miami, Florida-based Perkins Roofing! They were selected as this month’s winner of The Win a Yeti® Rambler from StealthBond® Contest on RoofersCoffeeShop.com.  There’s the first connection.

The second connection is that Perkins Roofing does a lot of work on condominiums in Miami Beach and they’ve put roofs on condos owned by Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and even Lil’ Wayne. Pretty cool!

We had a chance to chat with Perkins Roofing Vice President Tim Kanak and learned that the company has been serving the southeastern Florida area for about 40 years. It all started when Dean Perkins was a student at Ohio State University. One year, he decided to head to Florida for his summer break where he found a job roofing. He already knew how to roof since he had grown up on a farm in Kentucky where his grandfather taught him the skill.

As often happens, Dean fell in love with the Miami area and the lifestyle. He decided he wasn’t going back to Ohio and instead, he got his Florida roofing license and started Perkins Roofing. Tim joined the company a few years ago and is helping them grow. They’ve tripled in sales and have worked hard to increase their brand awareness through painted trucks, branded shirts and they are launching a brand-new website.

Tim said he wasn’t too familiar with the StealthBond® system because metal isn’t as popular yet in Miami, but it’s starting to catch on. He certainly is appreciative of the Yeti Rambler that will help his team stay cool in the summer heat.

He told us that Perkins Roofing really likes the RoofersCoffeeShop Forum where they participate in conversations with other contractors across the country and in other parts of the world. Dean’s daughter Amber, helps the company with marketing and she submits photos and interacts with the Coffee Shop on social media often.

Denise Castillo, who works in the office at Perkins Roofing, also likes to spend time with RoofersCoffeeShop and it was during one of her visits that she spotted the StealthBond® Yeti contest and submitted Dean’s name. Tim said that Amber and Denise also use the site to stay up-to-date on what events are happening and let them know when one might be of interest to the Perkins team.

We’re glad Perkins Roofing appreciates the Coffee Shop and the StealthBond® team for their new Yeti Rambler. We extend congratulations to them as this month’s winner!
