OUR PEOPLE

Alan Nedelea, Vice President / Division Manager for Flat Roofing & Sheet Metal / Shareholder

His initiative did not stop there, Alan desired to learn more complicated, creative designs and roof repairs, so he asked to work in the service department to have more involvement with property managers and homeowners. He learned to locate, design, correct and repair ongoing leak issues. In 2000, Alan became a superintendent supervising multiple roofing crews daily, delivering complex roof designs, material handling, controlling production, scheduling, manpower and customer service on multiple job sites. In 2008, Alan hesitated to start in sales at Black Roofing & Waterproofing as the economy was in a downturn. However, as a competitive, growth-oriented and people-focused person, Alan proved to be more than suited for roofing sales. He continues to add value to the company by constantly pursuing new ideas, estimating, working with manufacturers, vendors, local code agencies and other industry resources to stay informed of new methods. Now, as the Division Manager of the Commercial Flat Roofing department and Architectural Sheet Metal Alan, provides a level of leadership and a vision for growth within Black Roofing & Waterproofing. He supports all the managers within the departments with the authority needed to carry out their assigned duties and achieve established goals.
