J Reynolds & Co

What J Reynolds & Co does

J Reynolds & Co., Inc. is a privately held commercial roofing and waterproofing contractor founded in 1976 in Chicago by Jerry Reynolds. The firm provides roofing installation, waterproofing, and sheet metal fabrication services to commercial clients across all 48 continental U.S. states, operating out of its current headquarters in Saginaw, Texas, with additional offices in the Dallas and Denver metropolitan areas. Its work spans high-rise buildings, historic preservation projects, hospitals, hotels, government facilities, industrial sites, malls, schools, and emerging green and solar roofing applications.

The company's core service offering revolves around the design, fabrication, and installation of commercial roof systems, supported by an in-house sheet metal fabrication shop. It holds ANSI/SPRI ES-1 certification for edge metal systems, OSHA 10/30 safety credentials, No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranties, and authorized-applicator status with major manufacturers, allowing it to deliver manufacturer-backed warranties to end clients. Field crews are staffed with third-generation roofers, and the company markets combined experience exceeding 100 years across its leadership and technical bench.

J Reynolds operates a project-based, bid-and-build commercial services model in which revenue is generated through fixed-price construction contracts and follow-on maintenance agreements that extend manufacturer warranties. Its go-to-market targets institutional and enterprise clients (school districts, healthcare systems, public-sector entities, and large private developments) and it has built a regional-to-national service footprint capable of mobilizing across the country. The company is currently owned by Matt Skipper, who succeeded founder Jerry Reynolds, and is led by President Jared Wootton following a June 2024 promotion.
