Schefers Roofing Celebrates 27th Anniversary
This month, we’re proud to be celebrating 27 years in business as one of Kansas City’s premier commercial roofing and architectural sheet metal contractors.
Since starting business in 1995, Schefers Roofing and companies has grown to include a one-stop dedicated service department, cutting-edge architectural sheet metal, as well as regional services in our northwest Arkansas location.
Today, Schefers Roofing is a recognized, award-winning industry leader in the region’s competitive commercial roofing market. From roof repairs to new installations, our exceptional customer service and commitment to detail on every project each step of the way make up our "All Under One Roof" difference.
In our 27th year of service, we’ve welcomed new employees, installed millions of square feet on new construction projects, and continued to strengthen our partnerships with the industry’s top manufacturers, as well as our commitment to continuing industry education.
At Schefers Roofing, we contribute our success to the quality of our partnerships with trusted clients and suppliers. The relationships we’ve built over the past 27 years are at the foundation of our commitment to success and stellar service.
Celebrating National Skilled Trades Day
Skilled craftsmen are the backbone of our industry. They provide the essential services that keep our world moving.
Established in 2019, National Skilled Trades Day honors skilled trades workers and raises awareness about the value of the skilled trades workforce in the U.S.
Trade jobs are occupations that require advanced training or specific skills learned through means other than a traditional education degree, such as roofing technicians or sheet metal craftsmen.
Currently, many businesses in trade fields are facing an unprecedented labor shortage. According to a report from Angi, “At a time when there is both booming consumer demand for construction and maintenance work… the skilled trades have a huge opportunity.”
While many industries have been hit hard by pandemic setbacks causing slow job growth, skilled trades were increasing across the U.S. A recent report shows over a 20 percent growth in roofing job opportunities. Additionally, those working in skilled trades have higher job satisfaction, with nearly 9 out of 10 tradespeople listing their job satisfaction as either very satisfied or somewhat satisfied.
Our work wouldn’t be possible without the talented and dedicated people that make up the trades industry. From our field crew, service technicians, fabricators, and every essential worker in our field, we’re grateful for the hardworking men and women that make up our industry.
When working with Schefers, there are many opportunities to expand your skillset, cross train in other departments and grow your professional career. For more information on available jobs, contact us today.
