Tecta America announces promotion of Darrell Howley to operating unit president at Tecta America Lubbock CS. Tecta America is pleased to announce the promotion of Darrell Howley to operating unit president of Tecta America Lubbock CS. Darrell brings more than four decades of roofing industry experience to the role. His career began at age 18 with a basketball game. Darrell and a friend were playing against a young man whose father owned a roofing company more than 100 years old. After the game, he told them they didn't seem to like losing. They replied that they hadn't come to lose, and he told them what his family did for a living. They filled out applications and were hired on the spot. Darrell started in 1980 as a laborer and hot carrier on built-up roofing and service work. He worked his way up to mop man and then to production lead, running the largest jobs and becoming the one crew member willing to take on single-ply systems, including PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen. He later started his own companies and eventually sold them to their employees. Along the way, Darrell has held roles including laborer, assistant foreman, foreman, supervisor, sales, operations manager, branch manager, and chief executive, before stepping into his new position as operating unit president. "I love what I do, and it all excites me," said Darrell. "I'm looking forward to building up this branch and working with the people who make us a highly functional team. My top priority is growing our relationships with the great business owners of Lubbock." "Darrell's hands-on experience and his passion for building strong teams make him a great fit to lead Tecta America Lubbock CS," said Todd Stugelmayer, Chief Operating Officer of Tecta America. "He understands this business from the ground up, and we're excited to see the team grow under his leadership." Please join Tecta America Corporation in congratulating Darrell on his well-deserved promotion and in supporting the Tecta America Lubbock CS team as they continue to grow. Share the Post:

Tecta America announces Stephanie Osborn as Operating Unit President at Empire Roofing - Austin. Tecta America is pleased to announce that Stephanie Osborn will be joining Empire Roofing - Austin as Operating Unit President, effective October 5. As part of this transition, Steve Jones will move into a Vice President role. Stephanie brings more than a decade of experience in the commercial roofing industry. She got her start in Dallas at Merit Roofing, spending a year in the service department learning the fundamentals of the business, before joining Avco Commercial Roofing in Tyler, Texas, as the company's second employee and an assistant project manager. Stephanie advanced steadily through the organization and, in September 2021, was named Vice President of Commercial. At the time, the company was operating at roughly a half-million-dollar deficit; within her first 12 months in the role, she turned the business cash positive and grew revenue from $8 million to $10 million. She went on to become CEO, and during her tenure she helped launch the company's service department and metal fabrication division, growing both into standalone, profitable operations. "We're excited to welcome Stephanie to the Empire Roofing - Austin team," said Todd Stugelmayer, Chief Operating Officer of Tecta America. "Her track record of turning around operations and building strong, engaged teams makes her a great fit to lead Austin into its next chapter." Stephanie has admired Empire Roofing for years, having competed against the brand earlier in her career. "I've looked up to Empire as the gold standard of roofing in Texas for about ten years," she said. "Getting the opportunity to step in and help grow that name is something I never could have imagined for myself." As she steps into her new role, Stephanie plans to grow Empire's service division through a concierge-style approach to customer service, working closely with the sales and business development teams. She also plans to prioritize company culture. "Life is too short to work somewhere you don't enjoy being," she said. "I want to build the kind of organization people want to be a part of - one that people are proud to recommend to their friends." As part of this transition, Steve Jones will move into a Vice President position, continuing to support Empire Roofing's ongoing growth and success. Outside of work, Stephanie is a certified Master Gardener in Texas and enjoys hockey (a Chicago Blackhawks fan), painting, and hiking. She lives with her husband, Logan, and their cat, Nobu. Please join Tecta America Corporation in welcoming Stephanie to Empire Roofing - Austin and in congratulating Steve on his new role. Share the Post:
