Jason Schrunk<br />
Passion for Home Improvement<br />
By Dr. Cyndi Hanson<br />
Some people dream of owning their own business<br />
for as long as they can remember. That was not the<br />
case with Jason Schrunk. The owner of Schrunk Roofing,<br />
Jason got into the construction business somewhat by<br />
happenstance.<br />
“Some of my friends got themselves through college<br />
by roofing on the weekends and summer days. I helped<br />
a few times. I worked at Premier Bankcard. Once I<br />
learned how to do roofing, I started to do some work on<br />
weekends as a sideline in the summer. When my full-time<br />
job ended, roofing helped me get through financially. I<br />
decided to focus on that,” said Jason.<br />
Today, Schrunk Roofing is so much more than roofing.<br />
“We do roofs, siding, windows, stone – pretty<br />
much anything on the exterior of your home.”<br />
“We do roofs, a lot of siding, windows, stone – pretty<br />
much anything on the exterior of your home,” Jason<br />
explained. The balance of services helps to provide<br />
stability for the business.<br />
“Summer is mainly roofing, but the cooler months we<br />
do siding and other jobs,” added Jason. The company<br />
focuses primarily on residential; however, it does<br />
commercial work when the opportunity arises.<br />
When I spoke with Jason, it was easy to see he is passionate<br />
about his work.<br />
“I love to see the transformation of houses.<br />
We’ve worked on some rundown houses, and<br />
turned them into something the owner can be<br />
proud of owning.”<br />
“I love to see the transformation of houses. We’ve worked<br />
with a lot of really rundown houses and transforming<br />
them into something the owner can be proud of is great,”<br />
shared Jason.<br />
Schrunk Roofing is focused on maintaining a good<br />
reputation by taking care of the homeowner, working hard<br />
to maintain integrity.<br />
“There are a lot of fly-by-night roofing companies around.<br />
People need to be careful and make sure the company has<br />
insurance, operates safely, pays their taxes, and will follow<br />
through,” explained Jason.<br />
The freedom of working for yourself is something most<br />
entrepreneurs enjoy. Jason does as well.
