It’s
tough catching up with Mikee Eldridge these days. While leading a
fast-growing roofing company in one of the country’s hottest housing
markets, the industry veteran is even more preoccupied with the future:
the future of his company, Eldridge Roofing & Restoration; the
future of roofing’s workforce in and around greater Houston, and; the
future of the industry, writ large. After 25 years in roofing, he says
he also has the “luxury” of widening his aperture, reflecting on past
accomplishments while anticipating how roofing will continue evolving.
“After
all this time, it’s great to be able to focus working on my business
rather than in my business,” he said last month in Dallas during the
2023 International Roofing Expo.
