The story behind a company matters just as much as the work itself.
In a recent episode of Dirt to Dollars, Kevin O’Donnell sat down with Jim Piazza of Piazza Property Pros to share his journey from working on roofs as a teenager to becoming the fourth-generation owner of O’Donnell Roofing Co.
Founded in 1924, O’Donnell Roofing has built its reputation on doing things the right way.
Kevin got his start on job sites early, learning the trade hands-on. Today, that same foundation continues to shape how the company operates, with a focus on quality, detail, and long-term performance.
That commitment is reflected in O’Donnell Roofing’s continued work with traditional roofing systems like slate, copper, and tile, materials known for their durability, craftsmanship, and lasting value.
While rooted in tradition, O’Donnell Roofing continues to evolve.
A key part of that is CompanyCam, which helps the team document projects, manage crews, and track issues in real time. The team ranks in the top 5% of photo users on the platform, helping ensure every project is thoroughly documented and nothing gets overlooked.
For Kevin, it all comes down to accountability and consistency.
With clear documentation, the team can revisit projects, catch issues early, and stay focused on delivering the level of work O’Donnell Roofing is known for.
