Raising The Roof

Ozone Roofing shares expert insights on residential and commercial roofs, materials, and maintenance tips to protect your home or business

Ozone Roofing is redefining the new roofing & storm restoration experience in the Little Apple by bridging the gap between high-quality craftsmanship and complex insurance navigation. Led by Tyler Dye, a dedicated Army Veteran and seasoned roofing professional, the local branch is rooted in the values of discipline and integrity.

The homeowner journey is further enhanced by Taylor Dye, the company’s Lead Estimator. With her background as a former Community Development Director and licensed insurance professional, she brings a unique level of precision to the supplement process. Together, they ensure that every client receives expert roofing protection and a seamless, supported insurance experience.

 Q: Ozone Roofing is a family-led roofing business, founded in 2018. What does Family Business mean to Ozone Roofing - Manhattan?

Taylor Dye: My husband Tyler and I are high school sweethearts, and we’re raising our family here in the Manhattan area. Our eldest son Payton is a sophomore at K-State, our daughter Brooklyn is a senior at Rock Creek High School, and our youngest son Owen is a fifth grader at Rock Creek Middle School. Because this is our home, our reputation matters. We want to be a company our neighbors can trust.

 Q: What separates Ozone Roofing from other roofing companies in the Manhattan area?

Taylor:  One of the biggest differences is the experience we bring to the insurance process. Many homeowners feel overwhelmed during a claim, and our job is to make that process smooth, clear, and manageable. We focus on accurate estimating, proper documentation, and communication from start to finish, so people feel supported, not stressed out.

Q: Tyler, what influences your leadership style as a branch owner?

Tyler Dye: I’m an Army Veteran and served two tours overseas: one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. I bring that discipline, and responsibility into how we run projects. We focus on doing what we say we’re going to do, following through, and taking care of people.

 Q: Taylor, your role is unique in the roofing industry. Can you share your background?

Taylor: I’m the Lead Estimator for Ozone Roofing and I oversee the supplement department for all Ozone locations. I’m a former Community Development Director and City Council Member, and I hold an insurance license. That background helps me understand both construction requirements and the insurance side of storm restoration.

Q: With that, storm damage can be overwhelming. How does Ozone Roofing support homeowners through that process?

Tyler: Storm damage brings stress. Inspections, insurance paperwork and all of that. Man, that ain't fun. Our goal is to guide homeowners through the entire process with clarity and transparency. From the first inspection to final installation, we help people understand what’s happening and what to expect, so they feel confident and supported.

Q: How does that help customers specifically?

Taylor: Insurance claims are certainly the most stressful part of storm recovery. We help homeowners navigate inspections, documentation, and supplements to ensure damages are properly addressed and nothing is missed. We’re truly a team that acts as advocates for the homeowner, keeping the process clear and professional.

Q: What type of roofing systems do y’all install?

Tyler: Ozone Roofing installs both residential and commercial roofing systems, including flat and steep-slope roofs, TPO and TPO retrofit systems, metal roofing, asphalt and designer shingles, stone-coated steel, and composite roofing systems. This broad expertise allows the team to recommend solutions tailored to each building, budget, and long-term goal.

Ozone Roofing is a GAF Certified Commercial Contractor and a GAF Master Elite Residential Contractor—distinctions held by only a small percentage of roofing companies nationwide—and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Q: What does “built right” mean at Ozone Roofing?

Tyler: It means every roof we install follows manufacturer installation guidelines and building codes. We don’t cut corners. The goal is always a roof system that performs correctly long-term and protects the home the way it should. Our whole Manhattan team is bought into this mission. We have Matt Mowry, a K-State graduate, along with Josh Seabolt and William Guice. They're all great men. To stand behind that work, Ozone Roofing offers a five-year workmanship warranty, giving customers confidence long after the project is complete.

Q: What would you like to say to the homeowners of Manhattan that are reading this?

Taylor: That Ozone Roofing is here to serve. We build roofs the right way, we stand behind our work, and we’re committed to making the complete roofing experience easier for the homeowners in the Little Apple area. We offer free inspections, we’d love to hop on your roof today and check it out!

"We’re raising the standard in Manhattan by combining high-quality roofing with something many contractors can’t offer—a truly smooth and supported insurance experience, guided by the discipline and integrity of a veteran-led team." - Taylor Dye
