Porter Roofing and Restoration Is Built on Trust

The team at Porter Roofing knows that putting a roof over your head is more intricate than just choosing what material to use. The family-owned business prides itself on offering high-quality service, an outstanding selection of superior products, and a hometown appeal. Owner Jesse Porter grew up passionate about entrepreneurship and knew he always wanted to own his own company. He combined his business acumen and previous experience in the roofing and construction industry to open Porter Roofing and Restoration in 2019, with the help of his wife, Maria, and family.

“Having worked in the roofing industry for several years, I witnessed both the great and not-so-great aspects of the business,” Jesse shares. “This experience fueled my desire to create a company where the customer and the employees are the true focus. We strive to make our employees feel secure and supported, knowing that this will inspire them to deliver exceptional service to our clients.”

Porter Roofing offers a wide range of services including residential roofing, siding and gutter installation, as well as ancillary services such as copper installation for accents, attic insulation for energy efficiency, and roof skylights for natural light. Jesse says there isn’t a roof Porter Roofing can’t do. They offer roof styles such as asphalt, wood shake, concrete tile, slate, and rubber roofing systems. Customer representatives work with the client to determine the best type of roof for their needs and their home’s aesthetic.

“I grew up in the Meridian-Kessler/Butler Tarkington area of Indianapolis,” Maria says. “We decided this is where we wanted to raise our children because of the rich history and beauty of the area. Porter Roofing works on many homes in the same area, including large, lavish homes and small homes full of charm. We love working to keep those homes to their character with our clients.”

The quality of Porter Roofing’s products is of the utmost importance to the team. They work with high-end products like the James Hardie siding collection. Jesse says they want to give their clients a luxury, high-end feel for their home while being affordable. They also partner with local mainstay Reese Wholesale, which has been in the roofing business since 1937 and has been selling material wholesale since 1952.

“We’re a preferred contractor with Owens Corning,” Jesse says. “Normally it takes about two years for a company to hit the amount of volume they have to do to become a preferred contractor. We blew away that number in our first year. It’s a huge achievement to have preferred status with a brand like Owens Corning.”

Jesse says one company area he’s most proud of is copper work on homes. Copper accents add a splash of curb appeal to any home for generations to come. Jesse says their copper contractor is nothing short of an artist, meticulously crafting each piece to enhance the home’s aesthetic. The Porters’ commitment to their customers is also present in dealing with pesky insurance claims.

“Most clients are only going to have to deal with an insurance claim in regards to their roof maybe once in their lifetime,” Jesse says. “We do it daily, so we try to handle every aspect we can for them. I have two employees on my team whose only job is to deal with insurance claims.”

Jesse and Maria know that keeping the lines of communication open throughout any job is of the utmost importance to customers. They ensure the client knows exactly what to expect throughout the entire job, from the initial consultation to the final cleanup. Maria says they know large home projects can be daunting, but they have developed a streamlined process that minimizes disruption and ensures a seamless experience for their customers.

“We are deeply committed to our community,” Maria says. “We believe in giving back as much as we can, whether it’s through supporting local sports teams, participating in community festivals or sponsoring events. This commitment is a testament to our dedication to the people and the homes we serve.”
