Miguel Palapa took to roofing at a young age. It all began with a summer job during high school when he was just 16. Miguel worked hard, lifting bundles up to a countless number of roofs day after day, and doing other tasks to earn his roofing stripes. His work ethic helped him advance to taking charge of repairs and installations for a roofing company in Raleigh, NC. Miguel's affection for the roofing trade, his customer service skills, and his knack at doing roof installations of the highest quality led him into sales with another company. Miguel did so well at his new company that he was convinced he could be a success with his very own roofing business. Thus was born Roof Xpress.
