SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Restoration Builders Inc. today announced that Michael Flores has been promoted to chief operations officer of its residential business.

Flores is a respected roofing industry professional who brings over two decades of sales management, business development and entrepreneurial experience to his new position. He founded a highly successful roofing restoration business in the greater Chicago area. He strove to create a company that operated with integrity — one that homeowners and employees alike could trust and count on. The company rapidly grew to about 100 employees and contractors, and generated over $20 million in annual revenue. Flores joined Restoration Builders in 2019 and most recently served as central regional director. 

While building the roofing business, Flores saw a need for workers who wanted to further their careers in the industry. He founded a school to assist workers in passing the state roofing exam. The business has helped over 1,400 students pass the state examination and earn their license. He saw the same need for workers who wanted to enter the insurance adjustment field. He founded a school that has helped over 1,000 students pass the state public adjustor examination and earn their license.
