Roofing’s Next Generation: Atlas Roofing Spotlights Walker Baldwin

Walker Baldwin Trades Storm Chasing for Storm Repairs.

By Amy Connolly, Atlas Asphalt Life Writer.

As a Virginia Tech student, Walker Baldwin always had his eyes on the sky, chasing and researching tornadoes and hailstorms for a possible career in meteorology.

Now Baldwin keeps his eyes on the sky for different reasons. As the owner of Reliant Roofing & Restoration, Baldwin is dedicated to transforming homes and businesses one roof at a time. His company, based in North Carolina, started in 2013 and has locations in South Carolina and Virginia as well.

“What I enjoy most about the roofing industry is the ability to transform our customer’s homes in a matter of a couple days,” the 27-year-old said. “It is really great to see the hard work pay off after the roof is installed.”

One transformation came when his company tackled a job on a Wilmington, N.C., home that had a drab and aging roof with brown gutters and trim. The makeover, complete with Atlas Pristine StormMaster Slate in Blackstone Slate, copper valleys, white gutters and trim, made the house sparkle.

“The homeowner loved the results, and it looks amazing,” he said.

Baldwin started in roofing in 2011 as a project manager and sales representative. He credits the success of his business to the people on his team. Their quality workmanship and dedication ensures customers are satisfied. That, in turn, has led to a thriving referral-based business.

Baldwin has achieved the Gold level in the Atlas Pro™ Plus program. He plans to expand with new branches and a move into new construction to drive business through slow months and retain good employees. He does it all with a focus on his wife, Amy, and their two-year-old son, Will.

“I would never have gotten where I am today without the support of my wife and surrounding family,” he said. ‘I look at work as a means of paying them back for everything that they have done for me.”
