Established by my great-grandfather Willie Darrow and his brother, both slaters by trade, they moved into wood shingles. My grandfather Mitchel Lay took over, followed by my father Jeffrey Lay, and now I run the business alongside my three siblings, all of whom have sons in the industry.

I am a fifth-generation roofer who has dedicated my life to public service since my father encouraged me to leave school in the eighth grade. I led crews for the company before I was of driving age; I quickly learned to manage speed sheets and put roofs on. Driven by a desire for excellence and customer satisfaction, I received my GED in 2000. Soon after, I enrolled at Brunswick Community College for business economics and joined the AAA Construction School for roofing and waterproofing. I aspired to excel beyond my predecessors, achieving a master's in business and accumulating over 100 certifications. I have also had the privilege of working on some of the most iconic structures across the nation. I’ve performed work in Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, and South Carolina, yet Georgia is where my heart lies, and roofing is my true calling.
