Summers used to be a lot different for sisters Tana Ford and Brandy Ford Kaster. As veteran teachers who loved to mold young minds for nine months out of the year, the summer used to be a time for reflection, relative relaxation and mentally preparing for the next school year fast approaching.
But that all changed roughly five years ago, when the pair answered a contractor-friend’s plea for help managing a growing roofing and remodeling company. Tana, the elder by four years, answered the call, and liked the roofing experience so much that despite just earning a master’s degree, quit her teaching job and went into roofing full-time.
