LEE ROSE (1st Generation Roofer)

Rose Roofing was established here in Houston, Texas in 1972. Lee was already in the roofing industry working for another roofing business when he wanted to start his own company. Lee enjoyed meeting customers and wrote up the carbon-copy contracts on his old typewriter to get the job. His wife Sandy helped him in the business, even nailing on wood shingles. Lee worked 18 years in his company until 1990 when his son Ken took over.

KEN ROSE (2nd Generation Roofer)

During the early 80’s, Ken worked with Lee on those hot summer days when he was a teenager in high school. He carried heavy bundles of shingles up the ladder and placed them on the roof for the crew to roof. Ken loved working hard and enjoyed meeting new customers at each job site. Once he enrolled at Houston Baptist University, Ken worked in between classes and got his hands dirty in the field. He graduated with a business degree and married his college sweetheart Tonya. Ken used what he learned in college, picked up new skills and business ideas to expanded the business.

Ken had 4 boys and 1 girl, and all of them took turns during the summers, as he did with his father, working in the business in different capacities. Once his two eldest sons, Kenneth II and Jonathan got old enough to drive, they went out and met customers, ran jobs, and wrote up contracts for the company. Ken loved everyone and was loved by all who knew him. He worked in all ministries at his church with children, youth, and young adult groups. He particularly loved teaching the high school boys about how to become young men of character and Godliness.

In February 2014, he became very sick and was hospitalized. He got a blood infection that travelled into his heart so he had an open heart surgery. Unfortunately, he did not survive. He passed away in May 2014.

After his passing, his wife Tonya and his children, Kenneth II, Jonathan and Crystal continued to work together until 2016, with Jonathan working as a Director for the company. This continued until Jonathan took over the company in January 2017 as CEO.
