Roofing Corp of America Expands Midwest Presence with Schefers Roofing Partnership
Roofing Corp of America has announced a new partnership with Schefers Roofing, a Kansas City-based commercial roofing contractor, marking another significant step in the company’s nationwide expansion strategy. The transaction represents Roofing Corp of America’s 16th acquisition since the company was established in December 2020 and further strengthens its growing presence across the Midwest region.
With the addition of Schefers Roofing, Roofing Corp of America, commonly known as RCA, now operates a total of 27 branch locations throughout the United States. The partnership continues the company’s effort to build a national network of established regional roofing contractors while maintaining local leadership and operational independence.
Founded in 1995, Schefers Roofing has built a strong reputation in the commercial roofing industry over the past three decades. Headquartered in Kansas City, the company provides roofing services throughout Missouri, Northern Arkansas and neighboring markets. Its expertise includes commercial roof installation, roof restoration, preventative maintenance, leak repair and architectural sheet metal fabrication.
Over the years, Schefers Roofing has become known for delivering reliable roofing solutions for commercial and industrial clients across a variety of sectors. The company’s focus on customer relationships, craftsmanship and long-term service has helped establish it as a trusted contractor in the region.
Under the terms of the partnership, Schefers Roofing will continue to operate as a standalone business within Roofing Corp of America. Founder Lance Schefers will remain Chief Executive Officer of the company, while day-to-day operations will continue to be managed by President Doug Mackesty and Senior Superintendent James Napper.
The decision to maintain the existing leadership structure reflects RCA’s broader acquisition strategy, which emphasizes preserving local expertise, company culture and long-standing customer relationships. Rather than fully integrating acquired businesses into a centralized model, RCA typically allows partner companies to maintain their brand identity and operational approach while benefiting from the support and resources of a larger national platform.
Lance Schefers said the partnership was carefully considered and aligned with the values the company has maintained since its founding more than 30 years ago.
“Over the past 30-plus years, we’ve built Schefers Roofing Co. on hard work, trusted relationships, and a commitment to quality,” Schefers said. “As consolidation continued across the roofing industry, Roofing Corp of America stood out because they share our values and commitment to our people and customers. I’m proud of what we’ve built and excited about what this partnership means for our future.”
The commercial roofing sector has experienced increased consolidation in recent years as larger organizations seek to expand regional capabilities and respond to growing demand for roofing and building envelope services. Many independent contractors are partnering with larger organizations to gain access to broader resources, operational support and long-term growth opportunities while preserving their local market presence.
For Schefers Roofing, the partnership with RCA is expected to provide additional resources and strategic support that can help the company continue growing while maintaining its customer-first approach. Company leadership emphasized that employee development and client relationships remained central considerations throughout the process.
Doug Mackesty, President of Schefers Roofing, said the company was drawn to RCA because of its commitment to people and long-term partnerships.
“At Schefers Roofing Co., our people and relationships have always been the foundation of our success,” Mackesty said. “Throughout this process, it became clear that RCA shares our commitment to investing in our team, serving our customers, and continuing the legacy we’ve built.”
The partnership also gives Roofing Corp of America a stronger foothold in the Kansas City market, an area that continues to experience steady commercial and industrial development activity. The Midwest region has become an increasingly important market for roofing contractors due to continued infrastructure investment, commercial construction growth and ongoing demand for roof maintenance and restoration services.
Randy Korach, Chief Executive Officer of Roofing Corp of America, welcomed the Schefers Roofing team and highlighted the company’s strong market reputation and operational expertise.
“We are excited to partner with Lance, Doug, James, and the entire Schefers Roofing team,” Korach said. “They’ve built an outstanding business and strong reputation in the Kansas City market, and we’re proud to welcome them to RCA.”
Since its launch in late 2020, Roofing Corp of America has rapidly expanded through strategic acquisitions of established commercial roofing contractors across the country. The company’s growth strategy focuses on partnering with businesses that have strong local leadership, established customer relationships and a proven track record of service quality.
By building a network of regional contractors, RCA aims to create a national roofing platform capable of serving customers across multiple markets while retaining the entrepreneurial culture of local businesses. This decentralized approach has helped the company attract experienced contractors seeking growth opportunities without sacrificing operational independence.
The addition of Schefers Roofing reflects RCA’s ongoing interest in expanding within high-potential regional markets. Kansas City’s central location and strong industrial base make it an attractive area for commercial roofing operations, particularly as businesses continue investing in warehouse, manufacturing, logistics and commercial facilities throughout the region.
Industry experts note that preventative maintenance and roof restoration services are becoming increasingly important as property owners seek cost-effective ways to extend the life of existing roofing systems. Companies with specialized expertise in maintenance, restoration and sheet metal fabrication are positioned to benefit from these trends, especially in markets with aging commercial infrastructure.
Schefers Roofing’s experience in these service areas complements RCA’s broader platform and strengthens its ability to deliver comprehensive roofing solutions across the Midwest. The partnership also creates opportunities for collaboration and knowledge-sharing between RCA’s growing network of operating companies.
As Roofing Corp of America continues expanding its national footprint, the company appears focused on balancing growth with operational consistency and customer service. Maintaining local leadership teams and preserving company culture remain central to its acquisition strategy, helping acquired businesses continue operating with the same values and relationships that contributed to their success.
For Schefers Roofing, the partnership marks the beginning of a new phase while preserving the company’s established identity and leadership. With support from RCA’s national platform, the company is expected to continue serving customers throughout Missouri, Northern Arkansas and surrounding regions while pursuing additional opportunities for growth and operational expansion.
The transaction highlights the continued momentum within the commercial roofing industry as companies seek strategic partnerships that combine local expertise with broader national resources. Together, Roofing Corp of America and Schefers Roofing aim to strengthen their position in the market while continuing to deliver quality roofing services and long-term value to customers across the Midwest.
