From Family Business to Industry Leader

Recently, I was fortunate enough to be asked to be a guest on the Ascentra Podcast hosted by Mr. Quaid Rasmussen. During the interview, I was able to share the remarkable story of how our family-run business has grown from a humble start to a leading force in the residential and commercial roofing markets for Macomb and Oakland County. The episode is full of actionable insights and inspiration for anyone in the trades or running a family business.
My father, Bill Burkhardt Sr., founded the company nearly two decades ago with a simple mission: to provide a better service than the competitors while truly caring for our customers. This commitment to quality and a strong work ethic became the foundation of Kanga Roof’s success. My brothers, Matt and James, and I grew up working in the business, learning the value of hard work and quality craftsmanship firsthand. Today, Matt and I are partners, helping to lead the company toward its goal of becoming one of the top 100 roofing companies in the USA, and the number one and best roofing company in Metro Detroit.
The interview highlights the key pillars of our growth here at Kanga Roof:
- A Proven Process: at Kanga Roof we have a disciplined system for every project, from the initial consultation to final quality control. This process ensures consistent, high-quality results and maximum customer satisfaction.
- Core Values-Based Business: The company’s core values drive every decision, from hiring new team members to how we approach repairs and replacements. We focus on hiring and training the very best people, who are not only skilled but also align with our core values.
- Innovation and Adaptation: At Kanga Roof we have embraced new strategies to ensure consistent business, even during economic downturns. We’ve also been strategic in our approach to commercial work and are focused on a comprehensive marketing and outreach strategy.
Ultimately, our story is a testament to the power of family, a commitment to quality, and a focus on building a strong, values-driven business.
