“At age 13, I began my roofing career under the watchful eye and caring guidance of my grandfather, Grandpa Kovach. As Gramps enjoyed his beer, listened to Tiger’s baseball, and chatted with friends, he instructed me on the proper procedures for installing a new roof on his cottage. Soon after, the skills Gramps taught me were well known and I was re-roofing many cottages that summer. Gramps told me, “Frank, I want you to always follow these three rules someday when you run your own business”.

1) Take care of your customers, and they’ll be your customers for life.
2) Take care of your employees, and they’ll take care of you.
3) No matter what the cost, NEVER compromise on quality.”.

Gramps gave me the determination that day to build and run a successful business while giving us the very fundamentals that created the Mission Statement we live by today. “Shelter From The Storm strives to hire and train productive, positive employees to provide residential homeowners with a durable, professionally installed roofing, siding, windows, doors, soffit, fascia, gutters, gutter protection, insulation, repairs, & more utilizing up-to-date technology and processes, as well as quality workmanship, while securing our future growth attracting new consumers by always maintaining fair prices, being courteous, treating every house as our own, and every customer like family.” Founded in 1997, Shelter From The Storm has grown each year and is quickly becoming a viable option for homeowners in need of exterior remodeling throughout all of Southeastern Wisconsin. Gramps would be proud to see the business today.
