Started in 9th grade. Worked every summer through high school. Earned a degree while working full-time in the field. Then built Shelby Roofing Services to do it the right way.

Miguel Cespedes moved to the United States at the age of twelve — arriving in a new country, learning a new language, and navigating a new school system all at the same time. He didn't have the luxury of easing in. He adapted, worked hard, and kept going. That foundation never left him.
Miguel Cespedes didn't start Shelby Roofing Services from behind a desk. He started on a roof — in 9th grade — carrying materials, stripping shingles, and learning what the trade actually demands. That's not a background story. It's the foundation every single project is built on.
After working every summer through all four years of high school, Miguel went on to earn his degree from La Salle University in Philadelphia — while continuing to work full-time in the field. Six in the morning until the afternoon. Then class. Then studying. Four years.
By the time he graduated, he had accumulated years of hands-on roofing experience alongside a business education — the combination he always intended to use to build something better.
Ten short films of Miguel in the field: a hand-formed copper W-valley, a drone roof inspection, a second clean-up the day after a roof is completed, and a street where one finished roof earned the next. Each plays muted as it comes into view — tap any video for sound.
Drone documentation is part of how every project starts, so homeowners can see their roof, siding, gutters and trim up close without anyone guessing from the ground. That footage also becomes the starting point we compare against when the work is finished.
This photo was taken at one of our current projects: a full exterior restoration following a fire inside the home. You can follow it from the first footage to the finished exterior.
Shelby Roofing Services did an outstanding job on our roof. From the first inspection to the final cleanup, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded our expectations.
These photos span Miguel's roofing career — from his early years developing the skills behind this company, to the work he does today running Shelby Roofing Services.
The standard Miguel set: every roof inspected firsthand, issues diagnosed on the roof, and a team that stays hands-on from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Needed some work done due to a loose fascia from the wind. Received a quote from Miguel and he came out 2 days later to fix it. Quick, clean, professional. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Shelby Roofing! A bunch of shingles blew off our roof as a result of some recent high winds. Miguel was responsive, came out quickly, and handled everything professionally.
I met Miguel through a neighbor that highly recommended him and his crew. They did some repair roofing and gutter work and the quality was excellent. Great communicator, great team.

After graduating from La Salle, Miguel founded Shelby Roofing Services. He already knew what the problems in the industry looked like. He'd seen what happened when crews rushed. He knew what proper installation looked like — every flashing detail, every ventilation decision, every material choice that determines whether a roof lasts 15 years or 40.
He understood something most homeowners don't get to see: the decisions made on-site that never make it into the contract. Shelby Roofing Services was built specifically to be transparent about those decisions — and to make them the right way, every time.
The vision was straightforward: create the best roofing company that provides the best customer service and the best customer experience. That vision guides every project today.
At Shelby Roofing Services, homeowners deserve honest communication, quality workmanship, professional project management, and an experience that makes them feel confident throughout the entire process.
Miguel built Shelby Roofing Services on the belief that the quality of the experience — from the first phone call to the final walkthrough — matters as much as the installation itself. Every estimate, project walkthrough and client conversation follows that standard, no matter which member of our team you’re working with.
When something doesn't meet the standard, we come back and make it right. When a homeowner has a question months after a project is done, someone picks up the phone. That's not a policy — it's how the company was built.
Every project follows standards set by someone who has been on a roof since 9th grade and understands exactly what it means to stand behind the work.
