Power comes from strength, but what does that mean? Strength can come from working out, relationships, or even faith. For Ashley and Jason Smith, owners of Spartan Roof Construction in Porter, Texas, their journey begins with the strength of their relationship. The couple met online after both had faced challenges in life and love. “We didn’t feel like we were doing a good job picking on our own,” Ashley laughs. Their first date at the gym revealed an instant connection, rooted in their shared love for fitness, family, and God. From that moment, they became inseparable.
Fitness has always been a cornerstone of their bond. Early in their relationship, they competed as bodybuilders, training together and following disciplined, high-protein diets. “We’ve shifted from competition to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but we still train hard,” Jason says. Their gym sessions are a mix of fun and dedication, embodying the teamwork they bring to every aspect of their lives. “Fitness isn’t just a hobby; it keeps us sharp and strong for the job. Climbing roofs isn’t for the faint of heart!”
Their shared strength became the foundation of Spartan Roof Construction. Jason’s experience working for another roofing company with poor ethics inspired them to create their own business, one anchored in integrity and faith. “We wanted to treat our money as God’s blessing and use it to help others,” Ashley says.
Balancing work and marriage hasn’t always been easy, but they’ve learned to keep the two separate. “You can’t take work stress out on each other,” Ashley notes. “Our loyalty and respect keep us solid.” Their sons, now grown, were part of the business from day one, handing out fliers and learning the value of hard work. As they continue serving the Kingwood, Humble, and Porter communities, their dream remains simple: steady growth and a lasting legacy. For Ashley and Jason, power truly comes from their strength built together—in the gym, in business, and in faith.
