The architecture of a community comes down to construction—the way a building interacts with the natural surroundings plays a big role in the overall cohesion and fluidity of the area. Here in Wisconsin, there’s a rich history found among the homes and buildings in rural, urban, and suburban locations, which feature a mix of log cabins (built by early settlers) and more contemporary constructions that lend themselves to the growth and development of the state.
The Badger State is home to a rich history of architecture, including one of America’s greatest architects Frank Lloyd Wright—who built some of Wisconsin’s most iconic buildings. But whether a Victorian-era building or a 21st-century building, protecting the crown is of utmost importance. Especially amidst the severe storms the people of Wisconsin are all too familiar with.
That’s where Brookens Construction cones in, hailing from Windsor, Wisconsin. The highly trusted and reliable roofing company was founded by co-owners and brothers Aaron and Brandon in 2015 with the dream of making an indelible impact on the Madison and Milwaukee Areas. Since its inception, Brookens Construction has achieved all new heights including an acclaimed recognition by ranking 1,372nd on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in 2023.
But more than successes on paper, the team at Brookens Construction has found the meaning of true success through helping families and business owners in their communities, which, in turn, has aided in their fast rise to the top. “Back in 2019, our revenue totaled around $3.5 million. This past year, our revenues exceeded $26 million,” says Aaron.
With a foundation built on a relentless commitment to exceed customer expectations, it’s no surprise the company has experienced such notable business growth. With a dedication to improving the functionality and appearance of roofs, specializing in residential, multi-family, and commercial roofing, the people of Wisconsin can rest assured knowing their roofs are in safe hands.
Brookens began working for roofing companies before conceptualizing his own business, and after witnessing the very real impact this industry can make on the lives of others, he knew it was an avenue that aligned with his own values: helping others authentically.
“At every company that I worked with previously, it felt like the purpose was to make the job as absolutely profitable as possible, and it was super obvious to me that we could afford to deliver more value, not just with the products installed, but with the way that we perform the production side of things,” he says.
“I saw an opportunity to deliver more value to the customer, and I’m very confident that Brookens Construction is delivering the highest value when it comes to our competitors,” he continues.
As Wisconsin’s #1 Roofing Contractor, that’s exactly what they’re achieving.
“Last year we had a ton of work and a lot of people were calling in saying, ‘Hey, I haven’t heard from anybody. When am I going to be on schedule?’ And so we realized the need for a better way to update people because we didn’t have the time to call everybody back. We ended up creating a client portal where they can log in with their email and see what status they’re in,” Brookens shares.
But don’t take their word for it, the 400-plus testimonials speak for themselves:
“My wife and I are replacing our roof in Madison, and I was lucky enough to get in contact with Darren Jenkens with Brookens Construction. Darren was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job walking me through the insurance process… his professional and quick communication made going with Brookens Construction a no-brainer. Thanks Darren!” – Joseph Hanson.
Whether working with Aaron, Brandon, or one of the many other professionals, the experience remains consistent throughout: That’s the Brookens guarantee.
One of the many notable—and differentiating—factors of the company is its dedication to not just the clients but also the employees.
“We’re not just focused on fixing roofs. We aim to cultivate a community of leaders within the business who can bring about transformations in our neighborhoods,” Brookens says. Another reason for their esteemed ranking on the Inc. 5000 list.
Everyone at Brookens Construction truly believes success is more than just a number; it’s the positive experiences clients share after working with the team. As the roofing company continues to reach new heights and further its reputation throughout Wisconsin, its values and mission remain steadfast.
“We’re here and we’re proud of where we’re at, but we’re going to continue to refine our processes and add more of the right people to have an even greater impact on our local communities,” Brookens concludes.
