After a decade in business together, Joel sold his shares of “Worry Free Roofing Inc.” to his business partner in order to build his own independent business.

Joel certainly knows what level of work ethics is needed in order to attain total customer satisfaction. In fact, the roofing company replaced on average 600 residential roofs annually. At the time of sale, Worry Free Roofing had A+ rating complaint free status with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). He will never leave a customer unsatisfied.
