T&S Roofing Systems, a GAF-awarded company with over 20,000 roofs completed, celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. Established in 2004 by Louis Toledo and Ernesto Sanchez, the company has been dedicated to providing South Florida communities with quality roofing service.
During the past two decades, T&S Roofing Systems has installed more than 20,000 roofs in Miami-Dade and Broward County, passing tens of thousands of inspections by building departments across South Florida.
"There is no challenge in the roofing process that we have not encountered and resolved," says Ernesto Sanchez, president and co-founder of the company.
T&S Roofing Systems attributes its success to its ability to swiftly address challenges, collaborate effectively with building officials and inspectors, maintain transparency and communication with customers, and cultivate strong relationships with vendors and suppliers.
The decades-old company's timeline consists of overcoming several challenges:
- 2004-2008: Start-up phase, navigated Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, and established presence through Yellow Pages advertising.
- 2008-2012: Weathered the Great Recession while focusing on refining processes and enhancing efficiency.
- 2012-2017: Sustained growth, prioritized training and employee development.
- 2017-2022: Confronted challenges such as Hurricane Irma, the impact of COVID-19, inflation, and fluctuations in the insurance market.
- 2022-2024: Emerged as a market leader through technological innovation, community engagement, and advocacy. Launched the T&S Impact Windows & Doors division.
"The roofing industry is evolving rapidly, with constant code changes, technological advancements, and economic volatility. However, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering," said Bert Putterman, T&S's chief operating officer.
T&S is committed to giving back to the communities it serves, and over the years has participated in the No Roof Left Behind program, gifting new roofs to families in need.
"T&S really helped my family at a time when we were having a lot of roof leaks and had no one to turn to", says Sixto Campano, recipient of the 2020 No Roof Left Behind roof giveaway. Additionally, T&S is an advocate for mental health awareness as a proud member of the National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI).
