OUR STORY — A ROOFTOP TALE OF SCIENCE, SOUL & SECOND CHANCES
Every great company begins with a spark, and ours started long before Elevra ever had a name. Michael spent years roaming rooftops from Boston blizzards to Florida hurricanes, learning the science of how a home survives when Mother Nature throws her worst. Meanwhile, Tammy mastered the human side of storms — guiding customers through chaos with a calm voice, a steady hand, and a knack for making people smile even when their roof couldn’t. Separate journeys, separate strengths… but the same shared purpose: helping people feel protected.
As life would have it, their paths kept circling back. Michael and Tammy had been best friends since their twenties — the kind of friendship that survives distance, decades, and a thousand inside jokes. But when the world started changing and weather started getting wilder, something shifted. Michael packed up his Florida life, crossed borders and time zones, and landed on Vancouver Island — a place where the wind whistles differently and the rain falls with personality. A place Tammy had long called home. A place that quietly whispered, “Start something new.”
And so they did.
With Michael’s roofing science and Tammy’s customer-care magic, Elevra Roofing was born — part passion project, part reunion story, part “let’s turn our skills into something extraordinary.” Together, they built a company that doesn’t just fix shingles, but raises the standard for what roofing should feel like. Stronger builds, smarter systems, friendlier service — all wrapped in a little rhyme, a little humor, and a whole lot of heart.
Vancouver Island became the perfect canvas. After all, the weather here has a personality of its own — sideways rain, salty breezes, winds that love to test your craftsmanship. But Elevra thrives on that challenge. “If the storms get stronger, so will we,” became the quiet motto. Every drip edge, vent, shingle, and ridge is installed with the lessons Michael gathered across North America — and the steady reassurance Tammy brings to every homeowner she meets.
And somewhere along the way, this partnership of friends turned into something more. From long-distance phone calls to side-by-side project planning, Michael and Tammy found themselves writing a new chapter — one built on trust, growth, laughter, and a shared dream for a roofing company that feels like home. It’s the kind of story where science meets service, where friendship meets future, and where the next page is always brighter than the last.
Today, Elevra Roofing stands as a blend of everything they’ve learned: Michael’s “roofing science,” Tammy’s customer experience artistry, and a mission to build tomorrow’s roofs today — roofs ready for whatever Mother Nature has up her sleeve. Because on this island, the weather may not be what it used to be… but neither are we. We’re better, stronger, and just getting started.
“We’re not just building roofs — we’re building tomorrow’s peace of mind.”
