Company History & Roots

Raber Roofing was founded by sisters Alma and Malinda. Together, they bring over 20 years of roofing and customer service experience to every project. They built the company on a simple idea: do the job right and treat people fairly. Their growth comes from repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals in the Sarasota community.

Leadership with a Personal Touch

Alma's story is unique. The youngest of 16 children in an Amish family in Missouri, she became a foster child at 11 and moved to Florida on her own at 15. She started roofing at 18. For 15 years, she was the Vice President of a roofing company in Sarasota. Despite leaving formal school after 8th grade, she later earned her GED in 2017 and obtained her roofing license in 2018.

Alma is a mother of four children, now ages 16, 14, 11, and 9. In the early days, she sometimes brought them to job sites in car seats to meet deadlines while caring for them. Today, she is at every job, working with her crew. She believes in being present to guarantee quality and provide the kind of attentive customer service that makes clients feel their home is in good hands.

Specialties & What Makes Them Stand Out

Raber Roofing focuses on a few key areas where they excel:

• Shingle Roof Expertise: They are specialists in shingle roof installation, repair, and replacement, a common need for Sarasota homes.
• Flat Roof Knowledge: They have significant experience with flat roofs, which are found on many local residences and additions.
• Detailed Inspections: Their thorough inspections help homeowners make informed decisions about repairs or replacements.
• Owner-On-Site Every Time: Alma works alongside her crew on every project, ensuring attention to detail.
• Family-Run Values: As a sister-owned business, they treat your home with the care they would give their own.
