EP 275: From Corporate America to Construction: Brian Evans' Journey with Qualis Roofing
What makes Brian Evans with Qualis Roofing & Construction a good neighbor?
In the bustling Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex—where more than 4,800 roofing companies compete for business—standing out requires more than just technical skill. It demands a customer-first mindset built on quality, transparency, and exceptional service. Brian Evans, co-founder of Qualis Roofing & Construction, recently joined the Good Neighbor Podcast to share how his team has carved out a distinctive niche in this crowded industry.
Evans’ path into roofing is anything but conventional. After a decade at Microsoft and another at Workday—including time spent overseas in England—he and two partners, all with strong corporate backgrounds, recognized a troubling pattern in the local roofing landscape. Despite the sheer number of providers, they saw a glaring lack of quality and accountability: contractors cutting corners, layering new shingles over old ones without proper removal, and frequently failing to meet expectations. That realization sparked the launch of Qualis Roofing, a company founded on the belief that the professionalism of the corporate world could raise the bar in residential and commercial construction.
What truly sets Qualis apart is their uncompromising commitment to customer satisfaction. Evans describes it as their “10 out of 10” philosophy—a relentless pursuit of perfect satisfaction scores from every client. To make this possible, Qualis has adopted operational structures uncommon in the roofing industry, including assigning both a dedicated customer success manager and a project manager to each installation. While this adds operational cost, it serves as a long-term investment in both reputation and client trust.
One standout example of this philosophy in action came when a homeowner’s spouse expressed disappointment in the color of their newly installed roof. Although the product matched the signed agreement, Qualis chose to replace the entire $8,000 roof within two weeks—at no additional cost—because the customer’s satisfaction meant more than the bottom line. It’s a decision that speaks volumes about the values at the core of the company.
Today, Qualis Roofing & Construction employs 85 team members across North Texas, with offices in Plano, Aledo, Keller, Dallas, Arlington, and North Austin. Their services cover everything from residential roof replacements and new builds to large-scale commercial projects, including both flat and shingled roofs. This full-service model gives them a competitive advantage in a fragmented market, fueling their rapid growth in just five years.
For property owners trying to navigate the crowded North Texas roofing scene, Evans offers one simple piece of advice: trust matters more than price. If you already have a roofer you trust, stick with them. But if you’re in search of a new partner, look beyond the lowest bid. Pay attention to how a company communicates, the systems they have in place, and how far they’re willing to go to ensure customer satisfaction. Because in the end, those are the factors that determine whether a roofing experience will be seamless—or a costly headache.
