Established by my great-grandfather Willie Darrow and his brother, both slaters by trade, they moved into wood shingles. After my grandfather Mitchel Lay and my father Jeffrey Lay, the business is now in my hands, along with my three siblings, each with sons in the roofing field.

As a fifth-generation roofer, I have committed myself to serving the community since my father urged me to leave school in eighth grade. I managed crews for the company before I could even drive; I learned to run a speed sheet and install roofs early on. Driven by a desire for excellence and customer satisfaction, I received my GED in 2000. Not long after, I attended Brunswick Community College for business economics and enrolled in 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.
