As your home’s first line of defense against the elements, your rooftop and exteriors can take a beating. Sometimes a storm’s wear and tear is too much, causing damage that needs immediate repair. At Irish Roofing, we are available 24/7—ready to help you repair your home as quickly as possible. We even work directly with your insurance company, from filing the claim to repair and cleanup.
The man…the myth…the legend, Ryan Perry! Ryan comes to Irish with decades of experience in the roofing industry, and with an easy-going attitude. Ryan is excited to join the Irish team alongside his brother, Torey. Word on the street is that if you want to get on Ryan’s good side, which is not hard to do, all you need to do is take him out for a nice Mexican dinner! Ryan is also a die hard Michigan fan!! Go Blue!!
As a natural fit to the Irish team, Torey Whitten has jumped right in with ease as our Project Coordinator! For a guy with such a calm and cool demeanor, rumor has it that he loves drama and action films… this must be because he served as a police officer for GRPD for 22 years! A family man, golf champ, and versed in the industry since his childhood—Torey is the real deal.
Drumroll please… now introducing, Betsy Bigelow! Betsy serves as our Production Assistant, and she keeps our production team in line and organized. Betsy’s dream vacation is to go to Ireland, which might be why she chooses to spend all her time at Irish! We are thankful to have such a warm and bubbly addition to our team!
Welcome David Stroethide to the Irish Team! David is one of our project coordinators who was born with a hammer in his hand. With decades of experience in the roofing industry, David knows every solution to any roof issue you may have. Not only is David a hard-working Irish member, but he also is a family man who loves to watch his kids play sports every chance he gets.
Lucky enough for you, if you call Irish Roofing, you will have the pleasure of being greeted by Meagan! Meagan’s bubbly personality brightens up our office—she is truly a ray of sunshine! Not only is Meagan stellar on our phones, but she is a true Michigander: she loves making mittens, petting any dog in sight, and exploring all the Mitten State has to offer!
Meet our production powerhouse, Jim Wisniewski: Field Supervisor and Flat Roofing Manager! Jim comes to Irish with over a decade of commercial roofing and flat roofing experience. From product knowledge to installation, Jim is a master craftsman. If you’re looking for Jim and he’s not on a roof, he is likely watching Michigan play football, or spending time with his wife and dogs.
Eric comes to Irish with a wealth of industry expertise, and a knack for customer service. Formerly working in the building supplies industry, Eric is our go-to guy for all our production related questions. Eric leads our team with focus, attention to detail, and strong servant leadership. If you were to ask Eric what he holds dearest in his life, he would tell that he values his word, his grandbabies, and Michigan State sports. Go Green!
Alex is a great addition to the team because he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and get the job done. His vast experience in construction work makes him perfectly fit to be our field supervisor. When he’s not out in the field he loves to hangout with his friends and family, but if he had to choose a special dinner guest he’d pass up on celebrities and instead pick someone inspirational like Nikola Tesla.
Everybody say ‘Hi’ to one of our newest team members, Baily. This lively lady is one of our marketing specialists and she’s great at it thanks to her confident and competitive personality. She learned her ‘girl power’ attitude from the one celebrity that she’d love to meet, Beyonce. But she also fuels her competitive edge with her favorite breakfast meal of french toast and bacon.
This youngin is still in school, but that doesn’t stop her from bringing her A-Game! Erin is one of our marketing specialists and she loves the feeling of putting roofs over our customers’ heads. Her energy carries through to another one of her passions… swimming. Erin is a pro at the 100m backstroke which is thanks in part to her pre-swim Chicago Beef Sandwiches. If you see her after hours, she’s probably going to be walking her Shitzu, Micki.
Meet Casey, an employee that we brought on not only for his supreme marketing skills, but also because he helps bring the average age of the office down! A recent Ferris State University grad, Casey is all about juggling any new tasks thrown at him, but also any other object. No seriously, he’s a juggling pro. After the 8-5, Casey likes to shoot some hoops or get to crafting something new out of old wooden pallets, but he’s always happy to come back to work because he thinks Larry and Ju are the best bosses he’s ever had (Slides a crisp $20).
Say hi to Sal, one of our marketing specialists and Larry’s son! Not only is he great at his job, but this college kid is also a star athlete. On top of playing football for Walsh University, he also can spin a basketball on his finger as long as a Harlem Globetrotter could. When he is not winning games or setting sales, Sal likes spending time with his friends and family.
As good as our ground crew is, we wanted to hire a fresh face to help us manage our online affairs. Our communications specialist, Abbie, fills that role perfectly because not only is she the one putting the pen to the paper to write our company’s blog, but she also leads our community events and involvement. She comes to us as a recent graduate from Saint Mary’s College but she’s about more than just the books. In her free time, you might catch Abbie doing yoga, baking, crafting, or telling her brother-in-law, Ju, about all the latest hipster trends. If you swing by the office, you’ll know where she sits because you’ll hear her blasting Britney Spears.
Cassie is her name and customer service is her game. Cassie’s bubbly and compassionate personality makes her the perfect person to help out our customers with anything they need. She would LOVE to meet Will Smith, but she’s a little busy because after work she’s taking care of her and Larry’s five kids, and their dog, Rocco! Cassie doesn’t mind though… all is well as long as she can enjoy a yummy pasta dish at the end of the night.
We’re not quite sure how Meghan says “Thanks for calling Irish Roofing and Exteriors, this is Meghan” 243 times a day with so much pep and enthusiasm, but we suspect that the 4 gallons of coffee she drinks a day might be the source. Meghan is not only responsible for our top notch customer service, but she also keeps us organized and on track. Would it surprise you to know that our resident communication queen is also fluent in sign language? Well, she is.
Check out our awesome production coordinator, Mikalin! This goal-driven gal is prepared for ANY challenge thrown her way thanks to her awesome organizational skills. Even though she says she doesn’t have any hidden talents we know that’s not true because she’s a mom and that’s a talent in itself. When she’s not at work she loves to go on walks with her daughter and her dog!
Meet the man who makes sure all of our major projects are in check! Never missing a beat, Alejo is able to build any project handed to him from the ground up. Specializing in our commercial projects, we trust Alejo to oversee and maintain a standard of perfection for every job he touches. In his free time, you can find Alejo either spending time with his family, or shooting hoops on the basketball court. Though he keeps busy at Irish, he would eventually like to retire to a ranch, because he loves animals just as much as he loves roofing.
Now introducing our go-to guy, Rick! Rick comes to Irish with a wealth of experience in building and home improvement, as well as a vast knowledge of project management and supervision from his former career managing a multi-complex residential space. Rick is lucky enough to work side by side with his daughter, Mikalin, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. A true family man, Rick not only makes sure that our work is ship-shape, but he really loves spending time with his kids and granddaughter.
Before starting work at Irish as one of our project coordinators, Dave worked at another building company where he developed his awesome work skills. He came to us after falling for the staff and the atmosphere (but also to give his brother Larry a hard time). When he’s not diligently working on a project, Dave loves to spend time with his daughters, Bria and Nora. That all seems pretty normal until you find out that he likes cats more than dogs (Weird, right?).
Do you happen to have a dictionary on hand? Great! Flip to the page where it says ‘people person’ and you’ll find Ben’s face. As a project coordinator, he deals with customers 24/7 and he loves every minute of it. Before bringing his project coordinator skills to Irish, Ben spent over a decade honing his talents as the owner and operator of a local landscape company. Thankfully, he found his way to the Irish family. In his spare time, you might find him hitting the fairway or at the gym lifting weights, but no matter what he’s sure to come home to a nice steak dinner. Specifically a ribeye. Medium-rare.
Without a doubt, being a project coordinator is Michael’s forte. We’re pumped that we were able to snag him away from the medical field because he’s an integral part of our team. Even though he now helps people fix up their homes, he used to make people smile with his awesome dance moves. When he’s not at work or busting a move, his hobbies include golfing, spending time with his family, and catching a break at his family cottage up north.
With a knack for time management and staying disciplined, Jason knows how to get a job done and works hard to do it. Jason came to Irish with a glowing resume; previously, he was the Operations Manager of a reputable and local waste management company. As prestigious as this guy is, he prefers to be known for loving football, and for being a Justin Bieber superfan. When he’s not out there crushing it for our clients, he’s definitely watching football, with his family, grilling, and spending time outside.
