When asked what makes their company successful, executives at Star Roofing Inc. immediately pointed to the company’s talented, experienced staff. “Our strength is our people, both in the office and field, who take pride in their work and have a lot of experience,” said President John Plescia. “We have the ability to install a wide variety of systems, both new and re-roof.”
Operations Manager Pete Schmautz agreed, noting that the company is structured to make the most of that talent — and adapt to changing conditions. “The biggest thing for us is the open lines of communication,” he said. “We do have a hierarchy of sorts — you’ve got to have the various levels of duties — but there’s nobody that’s above doing anything within our operations. That’s the thing — our versatility. If somebody is a project manager, and they need to do something else, then they do it. We’re not so tied into titles; we’re there to support each other. If someone needs help, they are going to get it.”
