Davco Roofing and Sheet Metal is the February R-Club Roofer of the Month!

By Emma Peterson. 

Learn about how Davco’s emphasis on company culture and team support translates into the quality of customer service they provide. 

Davco Roofing and Sheet Metal truly takes care of their people, which is why they are the RoofersCoffeeShop® R-Club Roofer of the Month. Davco works throughout the Carolinas installing and repairing low-slope, commercial roofs. Megan Ellsworth sat down with owner Dan Davis to talk about the company’s story.  

Dan came from an industry family, he explained that his grandfather and father before him owned roofing companies and his brother is a partner at Royal Roofing Company in Michigan. Davco was founded just after the 2008 economic crash. They have grown from that and today they are a premier commercial roofing contractor that is certified by every major roofing manufacturer.  

When asked what made Davco unique and helped them get to this point, Dan explained, "If you asked the 10 Davco team members what separates us from other companies, I think they would all say culture.” One of the examples of this is that their office closes at noon every Friday. Dan elaborated, “We didn't change anybody's compensation, everybody worked until noon on Friday and got a full weekend." This change ended up being critical for the morale and health of the entire company. This type of care is not an isolated event at Davco. Another example is how their marketing coordinator is careful to note special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries so that all employees are acknowledged and celebrated.  

Beyond improving the internal employee morale and retention, this people-centric culture translates into Davco’s professional sphere. Dan explained, “We hire, fire, promote, train, recruit off of our core values because they were built on values that translate into superior customer service.” They have made this a priority of the company. Dan elaborated, “Every month, we nominate someone who represented our core values that month.” They highlight their employees’ successes and create a concrete example of how they want their company represented to customers, such as clear communication and prompt responses.
