Mike Griffin wanted to start slow as a roofing contractor. Working for his brother’s company and dedicating his days on rooftops below the sweltering Utah sun wasn’t exactly his idea of a good time.
“I didn’t want to get trapped in roofing and construction because roofing is hot, cold, dirty and hard,” he said, recalling how he preferred to work part-time in 1990. But after about two years, he began to learn more about the industry and realized he enjoyed the work. He also understood he could make more money roofing than in a different career at the time, and started full time.
