Name: Pat & Cindy Stapleton, the Husband-and-Wife Roofing Team.
AGE: You’re never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.
BUSINESS NAME AND LOCATION: Stapleton Roofing in Phoenix.
PERSONAL BACKGROUND HIGHLIGHTS: Roofing is a family affair for the Stapletons. Pat, like many of his uncles and cousins, followed in his father and grandfather’s footsteps and entered the roofing business right out of high school making $2.35/hour. Over the years he worked up to foreman, supervisor, and roofing sales before opening Stapleton Roofing in 2010 with his wife Cindy.
WHAT I DO: Operate a residential and commercial roofing company with our family.
WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT DOING BUSINESS HERE: Arizona has been home for Pat since 1970 and Cindy was born and raised here, so we’re Arizonans through and through. However, as Arizonans know, taking care of a roof in Arizona is a unique challenge. The sun isn’t your roof’s only threat, thunderstorms, hail, heavy winds, and other severe weather constantly pummel a home’s protector. That’s where Pat’s decades of experience shine through. We love being able to give our customers exactly what they ask for and, where else can you drive a couple hours and see such a diverse landscape!
PREVIOUS OCCUPATION AND WHY I LEFT: Pat worked for various other roofing companies while Cindy has a background in banking and finance.  Together we thought we made the perfect team and felt compelled to start a business that cares about their customers.
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT AND WHY: We are excited our kids are involved in our daily operations. It’s exciting to have a fourth generation enter the roofing business and we’re proud that our kids have plans to keep the business in our family name.
FAVORITE COMMUNITY CAUSE AND WHY: Local First Arizona. They assist local companies and entrepreneurs by harnessing the collective power of local businesses to advocate for the local business community, offering a diverse range of educational opportunities to help businesses grow and thrive, educating the local community on the profound impact of supporting local businesses, and providing opportunities for their members to connect directly with the public. As a company that has now been in business for 15 years in Arizona, we’re proud to support them.
WHEN AND WHY, I STARTED MY BUSINESS/EMPLOYMENT HERE: Stapleton Roofing is named after our family and was founded in 2010.  We began the business to offer quality roofing at affordable prices.
WHERE I WAS BEFORE I LEFT AND WHY I LEFT: Pat worked for various companies over the years where he gained experience in every facet of the business. That experience led him to start Stapleton roofing because he felt the work could be done for lower prices and higher customer satisfaction.
MY FAMILY: We enjoy the outdoors and exploring our beautiful State of Arizona. Arizona has some great sports teams that we cheer on as well.
