Moving to Dahlonega in August

Hello,

We are moving to Dahlonega and are looking for a reliable and cost effective lawn service. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe a tile person to redo the bathroom tile.

Roofing Resources of Georgia

Meet the Owner

As the daughter of a hardworking business owner, I find the story of a local roofing service truly special. With their dedication to top notch service and exceptional branding, Roofing Resources of Georgia is a company you will want to watch out for. Their current home base is nestled in the mountain town of Dahlonega, Georgia. From here RRG serves local needs as well as surrounding areas. Founder and current manager, Cary Rich, has built something that has continued to grow with great measure. His “baby,” as he calls it, was up and operating in January of 2010, but RRG’s story started some time before that with a man who was sick of selling insurance and saw a drive for something bigger.

Lake guy, family guy, and aspiring car collector—Cary Rich is no ordinary construction man. Always up for a challenge and never satisfied, I learned rather quickly that there is no stopping a drive like the one this business owner has. Cary might have given up on his teenage dream of becoming a rock star, but I am almost positive some would say he is just that.

During the year of 2009, Cary grew exceptionally weary of the insurance business. In previous years, he was given the opportunity to work on various odd jobs, including construction sales and marketing projects, which he not only loved but excelled at. While in sales, Cary’s drive and competitive personality won him a number of awards and led to broken sales records. At this point in his life it was apparent that his niche was communicating with people.

Cary decided to leave the insurance business after seventeen years of employment and chase another dream... literally. Selling roofs or other constructional materials in a time of storm turmoil was not new to Rich. He was no stranger to the term “storm chasing,” as he was introduced earlier in life by friends or colleagues. By the end of 2009, Cary did his first job by himself and the start of the next year marks the founding of Roofing Resources of Georgia.

The Journey

At first, RRG was managed out of Cary’s home. From there, they continued to look for local storm damage in Gwinnett County and then Gainesville and Dahlonega. However, as the year 2010 drew to a close one of Cary’s clients said something about the storms that swept the west and caused major damage to Phoenix, Arizona. In short, Rich and his crew arrived in Phoenix on January 8th of 2011 and remained there for roughly five months. This was a huge learning experience for RRG. For almost half of a year Rich lived out of his camper playing a number of roles: sales guy, administrator, and even manager of crew. He was not afraid to get his hands dirty. When it was all said and done Cary felt that he knew the ins and outs of what it took to be a real storm chasing-roofing repair service man.

Up until 2014 Roofing Resources of Georgia spent most of their time traveling. When they arrived back home from a trip to Texas and Oklahoma they came across the building that is now their office of operation. Cary had his heart set on this location, and was determined to find a way to get it. Between July and August of that year Rich and his guys dedicated endless hours to work so that they could afford to buy the space and by September 18thof 2014 they accomplished their goal.

The Company

Before and since RRG decided to put roots down in Dahlonega, Georgia, they have doubled their sales every year. Being given the opportunity to sit down with owner and manager, Cary Rich, I understood why this business not only stayed afloat but has soared above and beyond the expectations of most small business start-ups. “It’s the people,” he confessed. Having the right people in the right place striving for one common goal is the culture at Roofing Resources of Georgia. Culture was a word Cary used a lot during the time we spoke. It was evident that Rich saw his company not as simply a business but as an extension of his family. “We want everyone on the same page doing things for the better of the team.”

Cary gave me a list of three things that he requires from his employees: 1. Do what you say you are going to do 2. Show up on time, always and 3. Communicate. He promised that if you do these simple things with a motivated and upbeat attitude you cannot help but succeed. When I asked what were his words to live by he said, without pause, “Do what you say you are going to do, period.”

These attributes fit right into what sets Roofing Resources of Georgia apart from other service companies. RRG pays attention to detail, making sure everything is exactly how it should be and done to the best of their ability. They are proficient on time and following through because Rich and his people know that reputation is everything. Finally, RRG is dedicated to customer satisfaction, even if it means taking a loss on their end. When it comes to the client, Cary and his crews respect and appreciate what they represent. The customer is and always will be what keeps a business afloat, after all. Roofing Resources of Georgia understands what the customer needs and also seeks to give them what they want with the upmost integrity.

Future Plans

Once a rock star always a rock star… right?

With his ambition and attention to marketing, Cary hopes to continue to grow his company. Roughly 25 people work with RRG today, twelve of which make up the sales and administration staff. Some of their future plans include expanding their reach down I-75, 400 South, I-85 and 285. Rich also wants to branch out to other areas of northern Georgia including Cartersville, Rome, Calhoun, Ringgold, and Dalton, to name a few.

Aside from expansion, Roofing Resources of Georgia would like to offer other exterior services such as windows and siding. One thing Cary made clear was that there is no limit from where he stands. “There are so many opportunities out there,” Rich insisted. It is only a matter of going after it; that’s the first challenge. The second is making it happen, and with this companies branding ability there is no doubt we will all soon know just who dominates the roofing services of Georgia.
