In the bustling landscape of Middle Tennessee's roofing industry, there is no shortage of companies vying for attention. "QE Roofing goes beyond customer expectations," says owner Austin Cowell. “QE Roofing mixes the ingredients of teamwork, exceptional service, quality products, and decades of experience to ensure the business succeeds.”

Austin notes that what makes QE Roofing stand out is its partnership with Owens Corning as a preferred contractor for 14 years. Owens Corning is the only Fortune 500 company that manufactures shingles and they consider their preferred installers to be the top two percent of all contractors. Using Owens Corning’s Design IQ tool, customers can see each shingle color on their home. Using this unique tool ensures that customers get exactly what they want.

QE Roofing's commitment to excellence extends far beyond its business success. The company believes in giving back to the community that has supported them since the beginning. As a Partner in Hope of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, QE Roofing generously contributes a portion of its profits to this noble cause. Moreover, they provide free roof repairs to several non-profit organizations in middle Tennessee, finding deep fulfillment in helping others.

Coming up on his 20th year in the roofing business, Austin is grateful for the unwavering support of his wife, Sara, and his two sons, Skyler and Carson. Together, the company has completed over 4,400 re-roofs, leaving a lasting impact on the local community.
Giving credit to his father for instilling core values of how to run a business, Austin says that “100% customer satisfaction and integrity were the keys to success that my father taught me growing up, and I aim to live by that every day.”

Hoping to pass the business legacy to his sons, Austin states, “I envision a future where my sons will continue the legacy of QE Roofing, starting from the lowest level and earning the respect of their co-workers. I’m confident they will lead a company while upholding the values that have made us great."

In his leisure, Austin finds solace and joy in the great outdoors. Whether it's fishing, hunting, or riding dirt bikes with his sons; nature has always served as a constant source of inspiration and rejuvenation for him. QERoofing.com
