What James And Whitney Llc does

James & Whitney Co. LLC is a privately held, Maine-based home exterior services contractor that delivers roofing, siding, window and skylight, seamless gutter, roof rejuvenation, decking, and building/restoration services to homeowners primarily in Maine and New Hampshire. The company is organized as an LLC domiciled in Maine with its headquarters at 46 River Road, Chelsea, ME, and operates five physical locations across the two states (Chelsea, South Portland, Topsham, and Bangor in Maine; Portsmouth in New Hampshire). Its technical foundation is installation craftsmanship rather than proprietary technology: every roofer holds CertainTeed Shingle Master certification, the company holds GAF Master Elite status (held by less than 2% of U.S. roofing contractors) for 2025 and is certified by TAMKO, VELUX, and Harvey Windows, with material offerings spanning James Hardie, Westlake Royal, Grayne, and Alside siding.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-led model with no resellers or marketplace distribution. Customers are reached through a digital-first marketing stack (company website, SEO-driven blog with 41 pages, Google Maps listings, online reviews) and a $100 referral program, then converted via in-home consultations, phone outreach, and project estimates. Pricing is project-based, determined by roof size, slope, material choice, and labor complexity, with seamless gutters typically ranging from $6 to $28+ per linear foot fully installed; no public price list is published. The company offers unsecured consumer financing up to $100,000 for qualified borrowers and backs roofing work with a proprietary 5-Year 5-Star Workmanship Warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties.

Scale signals include 43+ team members across project management, sales, operations, production, and field installation; 2,609 roofs replaced lifetime; and 2,500+ property owners served annually. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held with no parent, no subsidiaries, and no institutional funding reported. Leadership comprises co-Presidents Steve Whitney (founder, per press) and Ryan McCaslin (per company website), with CFO Lynn Gallagher, Production Director Richard Damren, Production Manager Devin Sherman, Business Development Manager Ryan Fortin, and Territory Sales Manager Richard Zampini. Recent strategic emphasis has been on geographic expansion into New Hampshire, certification accumulation, and product-line breadth (roof rejuvenation, financing), supported by three consecutive Best Place to Work in Maine awards (2023, 2024, 2025).
