Roofer profile: Richard Berry - Roofing America

By DaVinci Roofscapes. 

Learn why Roofing America has installed DaVinci products on their commercial and residential projects for the last three years.

Throughout Cincinnati and several communities in Kentucky, Roofing America has served the marketplace since 2017. Led by seasoned professional Richard Berry, the company provides superior products, exceptional service and the highest level of trust for their customers.

Richard shared a bit about his methods, "Instead of preaching about our quality, we prove it. I’m known for keeping things real and straightforward with clients. No sales techniques, no pitches, just straight forward answers and data.”

Providing roofing solutions for customers is what it’s all about at Roofing America. One of those dependable solutions is composite slate and shake tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes. The company has been installing the product on both commercial and residential projects for three years with superior results.

How are composite roofing projects helping grow your business?

We only install DaVinci, copper, real slate and shake. DaVinci has changed my entire business by providing a realistic option to slate and shake for customers who want a fire- and impact-resistant product that has the same authentic look as the natural products.

What makes your company recommend DaVinci products over competitive composite products?

Because statistically DaVinci is the best and longest lasting composite material in the industry and offers the best support.

Some roofers believe that sample tiles close the sale. How many DaVinci sales do you feel you close once property owners see the product samples?

I would say the samples definitely have an advantage. Once the customers see, touch and visualize the material, they’re hooked.

What’s one of your favorite DaVinci projects that your company has done and why?

We installed a DaVinci Single-Width Slate roof in Slate Black on the Spear Ridge Café and adjoining gas station/general store last year in Florence, Kentucky. The restaurant was designed to look like a fancy horse barn, so the structure is “all roof.” Both buildings look terrific!

If someone gave you $5 million and you had to spend it within 24 hours, what would you do?

I would purchase a building to open a roofing school to teach the younger generation the trade!
