BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: DC Roofing Ranked Among Top Roofing Companies in the Nation

'simply at a different level of professionalism than most roofing companies'

FAMILY AFFAIR:  David and Colleen Arambula, owners of  DC Roofing, are both state-certified roofing contractors.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – A roof over one’s head is a basic human need, but not all roofs are created equal, for some roofs can protect better and for a longer time, particularly if they are installed right the first time. Just ask state-certified roofing contractors David and Colleen Arambula, owners of DC Roofing, a Space Coast-based company that serves Brevard, Volusia and Osceola Counties.

The fact that both “D” and “C” in DC Roofing are state-certified roofing contractors speaks volumes about the company’s commitment to professionalism and service.

“This is rare to see,” noted Rich Noonan of Best of the Best Television, which ranked DC Roofing among the top roofing companies in the nation last year.

“This certification is not easy to get in Florida. It takes a lot of study and most people don’t do it. David also holds a Florida general contractor’s license, the top most prestigious certification a contractor can get in Florida. It takes years of supervisory experience in a trade to even be considered.”

DC Roofing’s glowing, honest testimonials posted at credible, trusted review sites sealed the deal for Best of the Best Television recognition. The company has also consistently earned kudos from Angie’s List, Houzz and Home Advisor.

“It’s simply at a different level of professionalism than most roofing companies we see across the country,” Noonan added.

Community Supporter

David Arambula has lived and breathed roofing, since he started learning the business at age 17 and started his own roofing company in 2008.

“He has been roofing pretty much his whole life, and he is a natural problem solver,” Colleen said.

Roofs were once the furthest thing in the mind of Colleen, the daughter of a school principal. An educator herself, Colleen taught for 15 years with Brevard Public Schools, but David and his roofing company won her over to the point she received her state certification as a roofing contractor.

Although Colleen no longer teaches, she and David continue to support the community through donations for education, as well as for youth sports and programs to reduce substance abuse among young people. Last year alone, the company gifted $110,000 to Brevard Public Schools.

This year, DC Roofing sponsored the Space Coast Symposium at Kennedy Space Center’s Astronaut Memorial Foundation. The Symposium, held in August, explored the evolving landscape of space commerce.

As the quintessential family business, the couple work as a team with their employees to deliver the optimum roof for their customers; Colleen handles administrative duties and customer interaction while David supervises a roofing team he considers an integral part of the DC family.

“They are sticklers for hiring great people who share their passion for doing roofs the right way the first time,” Noonan added.

The Arambulas adhere to the philosophy of treating both staff and customers the way they would like to be treated, so it’s not surprising their company experiences a much lower turnover in personnel than many other roofing companies.

The Next Generation

In 2020, the couple welcomed David Junior, whom they hope will lead the family business into its second generation.

David and Colleen are also passionate about another next generation, the next generation of roofs. The company’s reputation is as solid as the cutting-edge metal roofs they consider their forte.

“Metal roofs last much longer,” Colleen said.

The life span of traditional asphalt shingles rarely goes beyond 10 to 15 years, and increasingly restrictive insurance options in Florida require homeowners to install new roofs every decade, not even allowing shingle roofs their full lifespan in some cases and forcing the homeowner to prematurely replace their shingle roofs or risk foregoing home insurance altogether.

With metal roofs, however, homeowners do not need to worry about the stress and expense of re-roofing every 10 years, and they often experience lower insurance policy costs and cooling and heating bills. Metal roofs are also friendly to the environment, since they are made from recycled materials.

Metal roofs have gained popularity in recent years due to their exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.

An in-house, state-of-the-art 9,000-square-foot metal fabrication shop helps DC Roofing deliver long-lasting, weather resistant and outstandingly attractive metal roofs for residential and commercial installations.

While mill finish silver roofs will always remain popular, customer interest has exploded for colored metal roofs and for colored metal roof tiles, which mimic the look of shingles or Mediterranean tiles with the durability of metal.

DC Roofing’s in-house AutoBrake® allows an unparalleled fit with metal roofs.

“With AutoBrake, we can bend metal to custom trim to fit any roof,” Colleen said.

Customers concerned about noise with a metal roof, need not worry, for insulation and underlayment of metal roofs effectively reduce any potential noise. They require minimal maintenance and are not prone to the mold that often affects shingles. In many cases, a metal roof can be installed over an existing roof, which can save time and money on the replacement process.

Re-Roof Once in a Lifetime

Unlike traditional shingles made from asphalt, metal roofs are made from various materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, copper or Galvalume, and are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

They are resistant to storms, fire and impact damage, making them the perfect choice for homes where extreme weather is a fact of life. Unlike traditional roofing materials, metal roofs are not susceptible to dry rotting, cracking, or warping, and remain in top condition for decades.

If properly installed, metal roofs can last up to 70 years and could well be the only roofing project a homeowner need undertake during their lifetime.

“They are far superior in longevity,” Colleen said.

Having to re-roof once in a lifetime…nice!

However, customers who prefer traditional shingle or clay tile roofs can still also tap onto DC Roofing’s expertise, for the company is equally well experienced in the installation of these types of roofs and more.

DC Roofing also has considerable expertise in helping customers navigate the claims process for roofs that need replacing because of storms or disasters. A free estimate will provide fair and transparent pricing so customers know exactly what the project will cost. Financing is available through Launch Credit Union and Enhancify.

As a happy customer notes, DC Roofing earns an “easy 5-star rating…a roofing company that delivered all around.”n
