Local Leaders in Residential Remodeling

Honoring 25 Years of craftsmanship, community, and quality service

 

Over the past two decades, BRYJO Roofing and Remodeling earned a spot as one of Texas’ top construction contractors. The company’s well-rounded operation has made it a household name, and it currently shines as the local star of the region’s remodeling sector.

BRYJO’s focus on scaling via technology and talent, along with its client-centric values, has cultivated a reputation for efficiency, streamlined customer management, and enhanced service delivery.

This is what allows the company to handle its ever-increasing volume of projects while maintaining the quality and reputation it has built in the community.

The magic of BRYJO’s process starts with the basics: a principled approach to hiring. The company is quite selective in its recruitment process, and rightfully so, as this is what ensures BRYJO brings in individuals who align with the company’s values and can contribute meaningfully to its continued growth.

Co-founders Michael and Maria Harris have built a strong team that resonates with the company’s core mission, which is vital, as BRYJO’s motivated workforce is directly tied to its higher performance and customer satisfaction.

A positive and supportive company culture cradles and cares for the company’s internal operations, resulting in an environment where employees feel valued and inspired to do their best work.

Because of this, BRYJO has successfully attracted and retained some of the remodeling sector’s top talents under its roof. It has resulted in a thriving business that is as sustainable as it is impactful.

As the business grows, its team remains strong and capable, its customer base remains expansive and satisfied, and its reputation for excellence rests as a natural byproduct of its stellar performance and workplace values.

A Foundation of Distinguished Connections and Expertise

For over 25 years, BRYJO Roofing & Remodeling has established itself as a leader in residential remodeling and roofing services across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Founded in 2000, the company is based on industry expertise and a commitment to elevating home renovation standards.

Michael Harris, President and Co-Founder, brings decades of hands-on experience to the business.

Beginning his career as a roofing technician, he later transitioned into insurance adjusting, where he witnessed firsthand the gaps in customer service and quality within the industry.

Recognizing the need for a contractor who truly understood both the technical and consumer sides of the business, Michael and his wife, Maria Harris, co-founded BRYJO.

Maria, with her background as a litigation paralegal, played a pivotal role in structuring the company’s operational and administrative framework, ensuring seamless communication and organization.

Maria currently serves the company as its Vice President and Lead Designer.  In this role, she specializes in incorporating Universal Design principles with a strong passion for creating functional, accessible spaces for families.  She prioritizes design that meets the diverse needs of their client base while upholding the company’s dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and integrity.  Additionally, she provides a personal shopping experience for their clients when needed.

BRYJO’s core mission is simple yet impactful: “BRYJO’s mission is to design and create spaces that foster meaningful relationships while improving the quality of life for homeowners through exceptional renovation projects,” Michael Harris states.

The company’s emphasis on meaningful relationships is a cornerstone of its operations and a large part of its success in the wake of one of the most difficult times for many companies in the nation: the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“During Covid, we were getting emailed updates from our County Judge regarding the latest health and situational requirements in order to work. After we received the updates, we would meet to determine how to meet the requirements of the County Judge, so we did not risk closing our doors,” Maria Harris explains.

“Throughout Covid, we received email updates from our County Judge outlining the latest health and safety requirements for operating. After each update, we would gather to discuss how to comply with the County Judge’s guidelines to ensure we didn’t have to close our doors,” explains Maria Harris. We learned how to improvise, adapt and overcome the challenges presented to us in order to best serve our clients and keep our crews working.

Thanks to consistent communication, BRYJO was able to pivot in ways that allowed things to flow smoothly.

Some of the changes include practices like purchasing wash stations for job sites, focusing on projects that could be physically isolated, and safely limiting client and vendor interactions when on-site.

The company even purchased several hydraulic dump trailers to compensate for the unavailability and limitations imposed by many dumpster companies.

Fortunately, BRYJO was able to hold its own while many of its competitors struggled to operate, and that gap has only grown wider to this day.

As a result, BRYJO Roofing & Remodeling is currently known for its combination of extensive industry knowledge, meticulous project management, and a deeply personal approach to relationships.

“I have actual hands-on experience of many of the trades that we do, which gives me a competitive edge… When I go out on a job, I actually know what it’s going to take, and that helps me collaborate with my team better, so they understand where I’m coming from, and we’re really effective on how we run our projects,” Michael Harris affirms.

“I have hands-on experience with many of the trades we work with, which gives me a competitive advantage. When I visit a job site, I have a clear understanding of what it will take, allowing me to collaborate more effectively with my team. This helps them understand my vision and expectation of implementation.  As a result, we’re able to run our projects more efficiently,” affirms Michael Harris.

Michael’s dual expertise in construction and insurance claims allows the company to provide unparalleled guidance, particularly when unexpected issues arise during renovations.

The company emphasizes attention to detail at every stage of the project.

All change orders and additional work require formal client approval, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Furthermore, BRYJO offers a personalized design process, accompanying clients to select materials that align with both aesthetic goals and budget constraints.

This hands-on approach is exactly why BRYJO’s client base has become so loyal over the multitude of their projects.

Additionally, the company’s longevity makes it incredibly appealing to skeptical prospects who need high-grade renovations done.

Celebrating 25 years in business, BRYJO’s stability provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing they are working with an established firm committed to long-term service rather than quick, one-off projects.

Serving the DFW Community as a Pillar of Quality Craftsmanship

BRYJO Roofing & Remodeling primarily serves homeowners within a 30-40 minute radius of its office, focusing on areas such as Plano, Richardson, and Dallas.

The company’s commitment to hyper-local service ensures consistent quality control and customer satisfaction. Unlike some competitors who rapidly scale and sacrifice service quality, BRYJO prioritizes maintaining close connections with its clients and projects.

“Our personal focus bleeds into our organizational focus. We’re trying to invest in the lives of our consumers and help them invest in their own families. So, we feel a kindred connection with our clientele… because for us, it’s about improving their way of life,” Maria Harris says.

“Our personal focus naturally extends into our organizational focus. We’re committed to investing in the lives of our customers and empowering them to invest in their own families. This creates a deep, shared connection with our clientele because, for us, it’s all about enhancing their quality of life,” says Maria Harris.

BRYJO’s kindred spirit also extends to its clients and vendor partners.

The company focuses strategically on vendor relationships, project tracking, and efficient resource management and maintains strong ties with trusted local suppliers. It prioritizes reliability, service, and moral alignment over cost-cutting measures.

“Reese Kitchen & Bath. They are our primary plumbing supplier. We have others, but we’d really like to mention them by name.  We also place a lot of our roofing and siding orders with SPEC Building Materials. We’ve been doing business with SPEC for the entire 25 years we’ve been in business; they’re a national organization. We find that these particular vendors operate the way that we do. They have a conscience and want to take care of their consumers,” Maria Haris explains.

We also place a significant amount of our roofing and siding orders with SPEC Building Materials. We’ve been partnering with SPEC for the entire 25 years we’ve been in business; they’re a national organization. We find these specific vendors operate the way that we do —they share our values, with a strong focus on prioritizing customer service,” Maria Harris explains.

For its interior renovations, BRYJO has connections with several industry-leading suppliers as well. “We also have some great tile suppliers that we work with, like Arizona Tile, Emser, Tile, and Daltile. They’re very reliable, so we do a lot of business with them,” Michael Harris confirms.

Beyond its external relationships, BRYJO invests heavily in its internal team.

“It’s important to us to build a strong, motivated team. We want a culture of integrity, trust, and collaboration here. And so we communicate clearly and develop our staff… We just did a conference for a few days off-site, we bring people in for training, we offer competitive salaries and benefits to our staff, and we also try to celebrate their big wins,” Maria Harris says, emphasizing company culture as the heart of BRYJO’s success.

Clear communication and ongoing staff development are key to this. We recently attended an off-site conference, we bring in experts for training, offer competitive salaries and benefits, and make sure to celebrate our team’s big wins,” says Maria Harris, highlighting how company culture is the heart of BRYJO’s success.

As the company continues to expand, Michael and Maria understand that a thriving company culture attracts skilled individuals and contributes to employee satisfaction, resulting in better performance and lower turnover rates.

BRYJO’s leadership is focused on establishing an office culture that is not only productive but also engaging, maintaining its position as a company that top talent actively seeks to join.

Focusing on a Path Toward Expansion

As BRYJO Roofing & Remodeling looks ahead to the next few years, the company is laying the groundwork for future expansion and internal development.

One initiative is improving its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Having initiated implementation last year, the company is excited to see the results of its ongoing execution, which includes a dedicated focus on staff training to ensure smooth adoption and maximum efficiency.

The integration of this technology is helping BRYJO scale its operations, enhancing its ability to serve more clients without compromising the quality of service.

Another major priority for BRYJO is refining the hiring process. The company has partnered with an organization that helps streamline recruitment efforts, eliminating redundancies and ensuring that only the best candidates are brought in to strengthen the team and ensuring that only the most qualified candidates are selected to strengthen the team.

This initiative is crucial for BRYJO as it looks to expand its workforce and increase its capacity to take on more significant projects.

Overall, this combination of community engagement, technological innovation, and a focus on culture positions BRYJO for continued success in the years to come.

The company’s efforts to grow and expand are not solely focused on increasing revenue; they also reflect a commitment to creating a lasting, positive impact on the people and communities it serves.

The leadership team is confident that these efforts will position the company for exponential growth and allow BRYJO to continue proudly serving the local community.

BRYJO’s vision for the future is clear.

With an eye on technology, culture, and community, the company is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow while staying grounded in the values that have driven its success to date.

The next few years promise to be exciting for BRYJO Roofing & Remodeling as it pursues its growth plans while maintaining its commitment to the community that has supported it from the start.
