What Makes a Difference?
As a certified contractor with GAF/ELK whose roofing products they use, Dorsey’s UnLimited Construction employees are required to successfully complete regular training with GAF/ELK in order to maintain that certification. OSHA safety training is also mandatory.
“They’re not just guys who have roofed or think they can roof," Mr. Dorsey said "They need to know what they’re doing.”
In addition to the office in Arlington, Dorsey also has offices in Abilene TX and Oklahoma City.
Dorsey is a family business. Daughter Ashley is production manager and keeps the books, Father Warren and Brother Rodney also work in the business.
Brian Dorsey also believes in the value of outside experience before joining the family business.
“Not because I don’t want them in it, but because I think they need a lot of practical experience," he said. "And then if they decide to work in the company, then you can bring that in, obviously with a different mindset.”
Brian's biggest business challenge is getting homeowners to understand what goes into properly putting on a roof.
“A lot of people look at strictly bottom line and say ‘But this is so much cheaper,’" he said. "And there’s a reason for that. We all pay the same for material. It’s either in the insurance or in labor, and that’s where the difference is.”
