David Phillips, president and CEO of Ja-Mar Roofing, and James McKinney, the founder and now senior consultant of the company, have a combined total of more than 60 years in the roofing business. They both learned the roofing trade from their fathers when they were young.

“I roofed with my brother in high school to make extra money during the summer,” Phillips said.

While Phillips admitted that the work was “too difficult” for him at the time, roofing was a “trade [he] learned early on and became really knowledgeable about.”

Ja-Mar Roofing has served Austin, Texas since 1970. For more than 38 years they have provided professionally certified experience in the roofing industry, and today they continue to grow during these tough economic times! On December 1st, 2008, Ja-Mar Roofing acquired River City Roofing, which was founded in 1971 by Wilson Thompson. Mr. Thompson passed on the business to his grandson in-law Daniel McCoy (no relation to our Longhorn Quarterback favorite Colt McCoy) in 2005. Daniel will join the Ja-Mar team as one of the senior roof consultants. “Our clientele really compliment one another,” says David Phillips, Owner and CEO of Ja-Mar Roofing. “Their commitment to customer service matched our own making it a natural choice to combine our efforts.” Both companies have a solid legacy, with an established customer base, a broadening base, that encompasses high-end residential, historic landmarks, property management groups and commercial building owners. Ja-Mar provides their clientele with a full-scale, custom sheet metal shop that specializes in comprehensive restoration, custom fabrication and precise replication of sheet metal products. Employing skilled artisians and craftsmen who have years of experience, Ja- Mar is capable of producing custom roofing panels, chimney caps, copulas, spires, and all types of flashings necessary for the most demanding of jobs. This acquisition offers the ability, eventually in Ja-Mar’s future, to become Austin’s Southside source for sheet metal products.
