Built on Values, Not Shortcuts
Vice President and Operations Manager James M. Peel founded Longboat Key Roofing after years of helping other roofing companies grow. His background in psychology and old-school business ethics shaped a different kind of roofing company. One that values relationships over transactions and workmanship over gimmicks.
“We built this company through reputation, not ads. Every roof represents our name — and our legacy.”
— James M. Peel, VP & Operations Manager
