Building More Than Roofs: How Original Roofing Company Is Creating A Multi Generational Legacy Across The Midwest

A storm has passed, but for many property owners, the real challenge is only beginning.

Across Michigan and the Midwest, severe weather can leave behind more than visible damage. It often creates uncertainty. Homeowners, condominium associations, commercial property owners, and facility managers are suddenly faced with difficult questions about inspections, repairs, insurance claims, and the long term protection of some of their most valuable assets. In those moments, finding a contractor is only part of the solution. Finding a trusted guide can make all the difference.

That need for guidance is what inspired Original Roofing Company, a family owned and operated roofing and exterior restoration contractor headquartered in Michigan. Today, the company serves property owners throughout the Midwest, helping them understand storm damage, document property conditions, and navigate the restoration process with confidence. While roofing remains at the heart of the business, the company's mission extends far beyond installing roofing systems.

"Our goal has never been to simply replace roofs," says General Manager and co owner Jarred Milich. "Our goal is to help property owners make informed decisions, protect their investments, and navigate the restoration process with confidence."

A Family Vision Built On Trust

Original Roofing Company's story is rooted in relationships that began long before the company itself.

Original Roofing Company is co-owned by brothers in law Jarred Milich, Austin Priebe, and Zach Diamantoni  Having known each other for more than two decades, the three partners brought together complementary skills, shared values, and a common vision for building something lasting. Rather than creating a company focused solely on rapid growth, they set out to establish an organization grounded in integrity, accountability, and long term service.

That family foundation continues to influence every aspect of the business today. Decisions are made with the future in mind, not simply the next project or quarter.

"We built Original Roofing Company with a long term mindset," Jarred explains. "Every decision we make is guided by the idea that we're building something our children can one day be proud to carry forward."

This perspective has helped shape a culture that values relationships over transactions. Every project represents an opportunity to earn trust and build connections that continue long after construction is complete.

Redefining The Roofing And Restoration Experience

The roofing industry is often viewed through a narrow lens focused on materials, installations, and repairs. Original Roofing Company has intentionally taken a broader approach.

The company specializes in helping property owners navigate the often complex intersection of roofing, storm damage assessment, exterior restoration, and insurance related documentation. Its team works with homeowners, multifamily communities, condominium associations, commercial properties, industrial facilities, and institutional organizations throughout the region.

When severe weather strikes, many property owners may not immediately recognize the extent of the damage. Others may struggle to understand the restoration process or how to properly document losses. Original Roofing Company helps bridge that knowledge gap through detailed inspections, thorough reporting, and transparent communication.

"When severe weather impacts a community, property owners need more than a contractor," says Zach. "They need someone who can help them understand the damage, document it properly, and advocate for the best outcome."

This educational approach has become one of the company's defining characteristics. Rather than focusing exclusively on project execution, the team prioritizes helping clients understand their options so they can make informed decisions about their properties.

Excellence Backed By Industry Credentials

Technical expertise remains a critical component of Original Roofing Company's success.

The company holds the distinction of being a GAF Master Elite® Contractor and a CertainTeed Certified Contractor. These credentials are awarded to only a select percentage of roofing contractors and reflect rigorous standards for installation quality, training, and professionalism.

These certifications allow Original Roofing Company to offer manufacturer backed warranty options while maintaining a strong commitment to craftsmanship and ongoing education.

The company's reputation has also contributed to another notable achievement. Original Roofing Company was selected as the Official Roofing Partner of University of Michigan Athletics, reflecting its growing presence and credibility throughout the state.

Yet leadership remains focused on the values that helped establish the company in the first place. While certifications and partnerships demonstrate professional achievement, the company believes lasting success is built through consistency, accountability, and service.

Meeting The Growing Challenges Of Severe Weather

As severe weather events continue to affect communities throughout the Midwest, the need for experienced restoration professionals has become increasingly important.

Property owners today face a range of challenges that extend beyond immediate repairs. Insurance requirements, maintenance planning, risk management, and long term asset protection all play a role in the restoration process. Original Roofing Company's experience across thousands of storm related projects has provided valuable insight into helping clients navigate these situations.

Its detailed documentation practices, clear communication standards, and restoration expertise help reduce confusion during what can often be a stressful time.

At the center of this work is a simple belief: education empowers better decisions. By helping clients understand the condition of their properties and the options available to them, the company seeks to create confidence throughout every stage of the process.

Building A Legacy For Future Generations

For Original Roofing Company, success is measured by more than completed projects.

The leadership team views the company as a long term commitment to employees, customers, and the communities it serves. Their vision extends beyond growth metrics and market share. Instead, they are focused on creating an organization capable of serving Midwest property owners for generations.

That mission influences hiring, training, customer service, and community involvement. It also reinforces the belief that trust must be earned through actions rather than promises.

"We believe trust is earned through transparency, communication, and doing what you say you're going to do," says Austin. "That's a philosophy that applies whether we're working with a homeowner, a condominium association, or a large commercial property owner."

Ultimately, the company's story is not just about roofing. It is about people, families, and communities working together to protect what matters most.

"The roofing industry often focuses on the roof itself," Jarred says. "We focus on the people underneath it."
