From Garage to Glory – The Bone Dry Story

Gene Judd started something special back in 1989 in a small garage in Speedway, Indiana. His philosophy was pretty simple – answer your phone, deliver good products, and install great roofs. That humble beginning turned into one of the most remarkable success stories in American roofing.

By 2023, Gene’s company had grown to $121 million in annual revenue and earned recognition as Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year. But Gene never forgot where he started or what mattered most – taking care of customers and doing what’s right.

When Gene decided to expand into Florida, he knew exactly who should lead the charge. His daughter Jessica Judd had grown up in the business, worked in both commercial and residential roofing since graduating from Indiana University, and understood the “Bone Dry Experience” inside and out.

In 2021, Gene and Jessica opened Bone Dry Roofing Florida in Sarasota, bringing that same garage-born work ethic to the Gulf Coast. Jessica serves as the licensed roofing contractor, making this truly a family operation that maintains those founding principles.

Where They Work in Florida

Bone Dry Florida operates from their headquarters at 5120 Middle Avenue in Sarasota, serving the greater Sarasota area and surrounding Gulf Coast communities. They understand the unique challenges presented by Florida’s diverse climate and weather patterns.

Their service area covers Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Englewood, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and surrounding communities. Having a local base means faster response times, especially during storm season when everyone needs help at once.

Jessica’s team knows Southwest Florida like locals should – which neighborhoods flood during heavy rains, how different building materials hold up in salt air, and what it takes to build roofs that can handle both daily thunderstorms and hurricane-force winds.

Commercial Flat Roofing and Business Solutions

While 81% of their business focuses on residential customers, Bone Dry handles commercial projects representing 19% of their work. They understand that when your business roof starts leaking, every minute counts.

Their commercial flat roofing services cover all the major systems – TPO membranes that reflect Florida’s intense sun, EPDM rubber systems that last decades, modified bitumen for heavy-duty applications, and built-up roofing when maximum durability matters.

Commercial customers get proactive maintenance plans that identify problems before they become costly downtime. They work around business hours when possible and understand that some facilities simply can’t shut down for roof work.

Whether it’s an office building, retail center, warehouse, or medical facility, they’ve got the experience to handle projects from small repairs to complete roof replacements.

Houses and Regular Folks

Most of their work involves helping homeowners protect their biggest investment. They handle everything from emergency leak repairs to complete roof replacements, always with that “peace of mind through exceptional service” approach Gene instilled from day one.

Adam Miller, their Branch Manager, consistently gets mentioned in customer reviews for going above and beyond. Customers say things like “Adam Miller went above and beyond in assisting me with all aspects of the roofing process. After dealing with other local roofers, it was like being thrown a life ring to work with Bone Dry.”

They work with all roofing materials – asphalt shingles, tile, metal, and flat systems. Their crews are trained through “Bone Dry University,” an internal training program that ensures consistent quality across all locations.

As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, they can offer some of the best warranties in the business to protect your investment.

Florida Weather Reality Check

Florida’s climate presents unique challenges that Jessica’s team handles daily. Hurricane Ian tested everyone in Southwest Florida, and Bone Dry proved their storm response capabilities when communities needed help most.

They offer 24/7 emergency service because roof emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Whether it’s storm damage, sudden leaks, or wind damage from afternoon thunderstorms, they’ve got crews ready to respond.

Their teams understand Florida building codes, insurance requirements, and the specific installation techniques needed for materials to survive in this climate. That knowledge comes from years of working in these conditions.

Heat, humidity, salt air, UV exposure, and sudden severe weather – they’ve seen it all and know which materials and methods work best for long-term performance.

What Sets Them Apart

The “Bone Dry Experience” isn’t just marketing talk. It’s a approach developed over 35 years in the roofing business. They focus on communication, transparency, and doing the job right the first time.

Unlike franchises, this is family-owned and operated. Gene, Jessica, Chad Kelly (COO), and Haag Judd (Director) maintain the same “gritty DNA” that built the company’s reputation in the Midwest.

They use technology to make things easier for customers – detailed estimates with photos, electronic scheduling, and regular project updates. But the personal touch remains the most important part.

Their connection to the larger Bone Dry family means access to training, resources, and expertise from one of America’s most successful roofing companies, while maintaining local ownership and accountability.
