As part of our ongoing "Getting to Know Your Local Businesses" series,
we sat down this week with Matthew Miller, operations manager of Weather Shield Structures.
Tell us a bit about your business: What does your business offer and how long have you been around?
At Weather Shield we take a lot of pride in being fun and dependable for our clients ! We want to be you and your neighbors favorite roof guys! We offer turn key roofing services, to both homes and business in and around the Kingwood area and beyond!
How did you decide to get involved in this line of work? How did the business get started?
I started in the construction industry when I was 23 years old, over 16 years ago. I was young, ambitious, and clueless! Ha! As a young father of 2 , I knew I wanted to work with my hands, and have the freedom and the ability to coach my kids ball teams, be there for school functions, and just be present. I also just love the personal interaction I get to have with all of my awesome clients. I’m very much a people person!
Tell us a couple things you are proud of about your business. What are you known for? What separates you from the competition?
We take a lot of personal pride on being relatable, honest, and super cool with our clients. We are just normal guys, who happen to have a gift of producing very high quality roofing systems, AND quality long lasting relationships. We are known for turning every client into a friend for life! Once you meet us, we’ll be your roof guys forever! Guarantee it.
What is your favorite part of running this business?
Hands down my favorite part of running this business is being able to legitimately help people, who don’t even realize that they can be helped. What I mean by that is, often times, we are able to get new roofs installed on our clients homes without them having to pay a large amount of money to do so. Roofs are expensive. We have a playbook we go to for every situation, and can get insurance companies to cover almost all of the cost often times for a new roof.
Who is your target market or ideal customer/client?
My target market is every single homeowner in Kingwood! Also, commercial property owners as well. We build roofs on $3,000,000 homes, and we build roofs on $200,000 homes. No matter what type of roofing system, shingle, metal, clay or concrete tile, commercial flat roofs, or fluid applied roofing systems. We have experts in every department with years of experience.
Can you tell us something about yourself as the business owner? What is your background?
I’m a proud father of 6 awesome children, from 20 years old to a newborn! I have done it all, as it relates to the roofing and construction industry over my 16 year career thus far. I lived in the Virgin Islands from 2018-2020 with my family and my crews helping rebuild the island of St.Croix after a couple devastating hurricanes that absolutely leveled that area. It was the experience of a lifetime. We came back home to Texas in the Spring of 2020 when covid happened and things were starting to get weird around the world, entire countries shutting down, etc. It was time to come home and help my neighbors here in Kingwood.
Are there any special promotions, annual sales, or special events that you'd like to mention?
We are currently running a “Hurricane Special”. For every roof replacement we complete, we will be giving the homeowner a 3500watt generator! You never know when you may need it! We all know what its like to be without 
power. So we want to help our clients be prepared, just in case! This special lasts until the end of October.
We also provide our clients with free annual lifetime roof checkups after a roof installation. If we replace your roof, we will assume responsibility for coming out, free of charge once a year, and performing a free inspection that comes with a full photo report, every year, for the life of the roof ! You won’t find any of our competitors offering this type of value !
Is there any other information you'd like your potential customers/clients to know about your business?
Our motto is “Forever local, and always available”
We love our clients, and we love this community. We were born here, we live here, and we’re not going anywhere. We simply want to serve you, and we want to be your roof guys!
How do you see your business growing and improving over the next couple of years?
We want to grow into the premier and preferred roofing company in this north Houston market. We are a Kingwood based company, and we are focused on investing back into this incredible community, whether it be youth leadership programs, volunteering at events, or educating at school career days! All of which we do and have done… we just want to be the “go to” hometown roofers for all of you awesome folks!
